I'm beginning to think that olive green is my new favorite color. Every piece of clothing that I want to add to my closet seems to be that muddy shade of green, including most of my picks from the Nordstrom sale. Olive is such a pretty shade to wear, especially in the fall, and I love how it pairs perfectly with all colors from black, to browns, and even navy. This olive blouse is from Forever 21, and I'm obsessed. I love the blousy fit, roll-tab sleeves, and the price. It is under $16, and also available in blush, my other favorite color. I paired it with my denim cutoffs, and finished my outfit with navy booties for a cool summer look.
On a more personal and sad note, I got the news Wednesday night that my grandmother had passed away. Although I knew this day was arriving soon, as she had Alzheimer's, it's still hard to accept that fact that she is no longer with us. She hadn't been herself for a while, so I'm happy that she is finally at peace and reunited with my grandfather. I will be in Vermont this weekend for her funeral, and spending time with my family. Please excuse my absence from the blog for the next couple of days while I mourn her loss, and celebrate the amazing life that she had.
