I have been reaching for olive pieces over and over again. This is that super awkward time when it’s too warm for true fall clothes and too late in the summer to pull off sundresses.
Enter: anything olive green. The best way to look seasonally appropriate. I also think that olive green is a universally flattering color.
Kate Spade recently sent me this olive dress, and I love it! I’m a sucker for a shirtdress, but almost all of the ones I have are blue and/or white. This one is so fun with the ruffle detailing. It can be worn with or without the belt, but I think it’s most flattering cinched at the waist.
I am pretty sad that my wicker bags have to be put away until next summer. In the meantime, I’ve been taking this little camera bag out more and more. It’s a much warmer brown than I was expecting and I love it. There are two zippered pockets making organization a breeze too.
So who else is as in love with green as I am right now?!

Olive is such a lovely colour for bringing in fall. I love your little camera bag too, the warmer tones of your outfit really go together well!

I love this time of year to finally be pulling out more of the greens and browns! This dress is so pretty and flattering!
Hi, Carly!
I LOVE your blog! I’m thinking of starting my own blog because I love photography and I’ve always loved choosing interesting clothing pieces and making outfits! I’d loooove to make one, but I’m new at my school (I’m in high school) and I’m worried people might make fun of me. Can you give me some tips?
Love olive green! That dress is beautiful.
Love how you have mixed the olive with the orange! Good choice 🙂
I only discovered a love for olive this year, and it has definitely stuck! It’s such a great colour!
I hope you’re having a great Wednesday!

I absolutely love this dress! Such a great piece for transitioning into fall and I’m sure it will be so cute with riding boots as it gets cooler out!

A ruffle and a bow – gets me every time! The dress looks fab on you, Carly!
While white is my fave colour, I recently wrote a post about the white + olive combo…for fashion and home decor. One of your previous outfits made the post, too! See it at

The dress is adorable! The ruffles and bow add perfect famine touches to such a military inspired look!! Got a laugh over how the truck is coming right at you in the first photo, glad he stopped 😮

Olive IS so incredibly flattering. I wear it year round and I love it paired with navy (my favorite color). This dress is sharp!
Quick question about the adorable camera bag – is it one large compartment with step zippers or two separate compartments? I’m looking for a new smaller crossbody to use in vacations. I just need to carry the basics (phone, small wallet, sunglasses) and then my small Canon DSLR camera.
Two separate compartments! If the camera is super thin it might fit!
Loving all your olive looks lately! And the ruffles on that dress are gorg!

That dress looks so good on you and so bad on the J Crew website! I would never have even considered it if I only saw the model photograph.
That dress is gorgeous on you.
Love the green!
