What I Wore Lately: Rust and Olive for Summer

Here’s another issue of What I Wore Lately. Most of these outfits are work outfits. The casual outfits are at the end, so if you don’t need work wear, scroll on down. I do encourage you to look through all of the outfits. Even if you don’t need work wear, you might see a color combination or some element that sparks creativity for a dressed down version of your own. These outfit repeat rust and olive on heavy rotation. It seems odd to wear these colors for summer, but olive is a year round neutral. These olive pieces are linen, so they are right on point for summer. The rust, or spice, is new for summer but I’m trying to break out of the mindset that certain colors are for certain seasons only. I think we get in a style rut when we create too many rules for ourselves.

Striped blazer + green blouse + navy pants + leopard pumps

I finally bought a striped blazer. They go in and out of popularity but will always be classic. This one was on sale at Ann Taylor so I decided to pull the trigger and add it to my closet.

Olive blazer + white top + black ankle pants + neutral flats

This blazer has been with me since the beginning of my working career- almost 26 years! It’s rare that you can wear a piece that many years without it being dated.

White linen blazer + gingham pants + cognac flats

These pants are the same cut and style as the rust pants. When something works and is on sale, I get multiples. I took this photo when I picked up those dreadful glasses. You can read about that story here if you missed it.

I’m finally done with allergy testing and restrictions on products so maybe I can get some color back into these legs. I will have to slowly add makeup and skin care back as my issues are mostly with eye makeup and moisturizers, but I should be able to go back to using self tanners and lotions on my body.
