May 26, 2012 at 2:39 pmYou just reminded me of a favorite color of mine (and millions of other French women) while I still lived in Old Europe… Funny, I just realized I never wear olive here, in the US. I wonder why… It is so versatile, looks elegant with black or white, and positively smashing with orange! Great post. Bon weekend to you! Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)

May 26, 2012 at 2:44 pmSadly, I can't wear olive, but this may be–stylewise–the closest to how I dress. (Though I don't wear shorts or sleeveless or other under-25 type items).

May 26, 2012 at 9:22 pmI really like the clothing items you've picked, but as with a lot of your sets, I think the overall look is more 'matchy' than I would wear, or even what I see people wearing. The second outfit, for example–olive pants and an olive jacket AND olive boots and bangles? Too much of a good thing! I know the sets are meant to be illustrative, but ugh, too much of the same color for me.

May 27, 2012 at 7:53 amDefinitely don't agree with Amanda as I see women here in France dressing exactly this way "tone on tone" everyday. It something that took a while to click for me but now that I 'get' it, I love it! Such an easy way to look pulled together, even with casual looks such as these.
I love this selection, very fun–merci!

May 27, 2012 at 10:06 amLove all of the outfits you've created with olive, especially the coral and also the bright orange. It's surprising, but some shades of olive look good on me with my fair skin and blonde hair. Thanks for showing us how to keep olive from looking dull.

May 28, 2012 at 5:47 pmI couldn't pull off olive because of my coloring. But I do like the look. Tone on tone reminds me of the most elegant woman at my work. She wears up to 4 different shades of very muted or grayed-out colors (cream, taupe, pink, etc) at once. None of it ever exactly matches, but the pieces are high quality and often have a sort of luster – like pearls. It looks effortless and gorgeous.
