Forest Green

Sunday 20 November 2016






So, if like me, you dress in black, grey or white and rarely entertain the idea of wearing any colours, then like me you’ll be shocked about the revelation that is forest green. It’s got a slightly bluer undertone, than say, olive green. I wanted to jump on the camouflage trend when that was floating around a bit, but I just couldn’t because it was too green (pathetic from me). Forest green is slightly…ashy? Do you know what I mean. In my eyes it’s a blue green. You know when you're at a make up counter, and they say to you “this lipstick has a blue undertone” and you’re stood there nodding but thinking, ummm I don’t really know what that means? Well, ok finally I know what that means. It’s a nice, dark, very wintery colour that goes well with black. In my opinion, it also looks super different in person than in photographs. 

Now, i’m one of those people that sticks to their guns when it comes to what they wear. I could see the most beautiful salmon pink crew neck by a brand I love, buy it and then leave it hanging in my wardrobe to never be worn. It’s habitual, I simply cannot wear colour anymore. So it's ideal to have a shade like this that can be easily worked into what I wear. 

I’m hungover (still at nearly midnight lol) and I’ve been listening to that Romantic Ballads playlist on Spotify. I feel like I’ve been staring at this screen all day and i’ve earned myself a super hot shower and a bowl of cereal. I’m also rewatching Vampire Diaries from the beginning; it’s taking so long for Damon and Elena to get together i’m losing hope allover again.
