I Got So Many Compliments When I Started Wearing This Color

My personal style skews on the more classic end of the spectrum, and for the most part, I usually stick to shades of black, tan, white, and navy. But recently I challenged myself to make my wardrobe more exciting with fun outfits that included some pops of color. And to my surprise, I figured out that I really love green. It’s never really a color I’ve worn before, minus the occasional army green item, but it’s the bold shade of Kelly green that really grabbed me.

I had never worn the color before last month, but when I posted a photo on Instagram of a Réalisation Par dress I’d worn, the comments and DMs started flooding in. I even had friends texting me asking where they could buy the dress. Since then, I’ve started exploring the color more, wearing a beautiful Saloni tea dress in the same shade, and I have to admit that I’ll be wearing many more green outfits in the future. See how I’m wearing the color and shop pieces to try it yourself ahead.

Shop green dresses I can vouch for

Is everyone else as crazy about this color as I am?
