Green with Envy...over Green

This is my new Zara scarf. It's green and is cashmere (I guess) (don't worry, guys, it was on clearance). It's warm and it's cuddly and it's a color--but it's not an obnoxious color. IT'S JUST RIGHT. People keep saying green can be a neutral and I agree. Can you think of one color it doesn't go with? Exactly. I think it might be one of my most favorite colors to wear.

Fuck. Did I really just write nearly an entire paragraph about how much I love green? I think so.

Not much new has been happening around here. School has been kicking my ass, and my time management sux. I'm looking forward to tomorrow because I don't work, and it's supposed to be like, negative a bajillion degrees outside, so I won't feel obligated to leave the house. So I'm just going to get caught up with everything. Including your blogs. And maybe those toilets that I'm supposed to be scrubbing. I'm pretty sure they haven't been done in a while. I can bake a mean cookie, but that's about it for my domestic capabilities.

  7. For some reason, I don't wear green very often. I'm not sure why.

    (Response to comment on my post): I have the same thing going on in my room. Clothes EVERYWHERE. Closet is full, guest bedroom shelves are full, stand-alone rack is fun, futon is full, and part of my floor is full. You know what I did Tuesday and today? Bought a total of, like, 16 more things. I need help. (Either that or NM needs to stop having really cheap second-hand shops.)

  8. GAH, why are your photos always so beautiful! I love green too, especially this shade of green, more things need to be made in this shade of green. Because I want one of everything in it. Sitting in bed all day sounds like a pretty swell idea, I am jealous. And I'm jealous of your awesome sweater

  12. I need more green in my life. No I don't. Your paragraph just convinced me (for a second) that I did. But yeah, you're right. it's a gorge shade.

  15. green is a lovely colour and as for me I'd use more often (this doesn't go with the ugly green constantly turning my normal face into the sick-looking). Good luck with your day off what so ever, toilets, cookies and, for sure, blogs do always help you rest.

  16. You always make me smile.
    I like these photos, they feel a little more vibrant than usual, and the zara scarf is just lovely.
    hope you have a good day off!

  18. LOVE your new GREEN Zara scarf - looks amazingly comfy! You look gorgeous in these pics. I feel like the snowy, bare background goes so well with your skin tone... and personality. So basically I'm calling you cold & barren? Just kidding - it's a compliment - I swear :)

  19. I do love me some green action. I'm like a green monster when I get in the mood for it because you're right -- It DOES go with everything. I can see why you love this scarf.

    School has been kicking my ass, too. Lucky for me, I have amaze balls time management and multitasking skills. I'm not happy unless I am doing at least 8 things at once.

    I think I have formed ADD.

  21. i love green! I could probably write way more than a paragraph on how much I love it, haha. Your photos are always so beautiful! It's been wonderfully sunny this winter, but I confess to missing the snow.

  22. Major scarf envy right now!! Love that colour, I'm not a green fan... certain greens yes! Other greens honestly make me want to vomit. This is a nice green! Also love the hairpin! Hope you're enjoying your day off from school/work!

  23. Your hair is the first thing I noticed- it looks gorgeous swept aside like this and the pin is so cute! Ah yes rich green is such a gorgeous colour- love this outfit. Haha sounds like we're on the same page domestic goddess wise!

  24. I never really though of green as a neutral but you are right, it kinda is. You learn something new everyday.

  25. i love your sweater and scarf! to be honest is not that difficult to write about a paragraph about a color because there are so many things to express about it :p
    i love green too! i sometimes feel is a neutral color cause of the fact that it goes with everything!

  28. That IS a lovely scarf! The perfect shade of green. Your whole paragraph about how wonderful green is makes me crave something green in my wardrobe. I own exactly one green item in my wardrobe, and it's an icky green that I don't particularly like. I only bought it because it was St. Patrick's Day, and I'm totally in love with Ireland, so I HAD to buy something green, and I went to a mall and looked at seriously every store with no luck. Finally, just when we were about to leave, I found the only green article of clothing in that whole freakin' mall. So I bought it. Well, now I want something that's a pretty green color. Like your scarf. Oh my gosh... I can't believe I just ranted to you about the lack of green clothing in malls on St. Patrick's Day.

  29. I adore green as well!!! I have a green scarf (actually a replica of the one from Confessions of a Shopaholic) I adore it! But it's a bit too light for winter, I should check out Zara to see if I can find this scarf :)

    Love the outfit, so wintery :D

  31. I want to steal your scarf, because the color is amazing and it looks like the softest thing ever. Plus it looks so great with your sweater! Oh, and your comments basically make my day. Just so you know. :)

  34. Hi my darling. Happy Valentines to you.

    My sickness is dildos. I'm sick of being sick to quote Captain Obvious. And soon I will blog but I'm not feeling it. You know?

    Also, I didn't really flash anyone. But I could have cuz I was wearing a trench. I was just missing the part where you have to be naked underneath it.

    You look gorgeous in this outfit. I love it. And I love you. Duh.

  35. I really really love green too. It's my favourite colour. I could write about it for longer than a paragraph if you like?

    Your scarf is super cute too. I like it. You look cozy.

    Sounds like you've been super busy recently. You stay home and rest. Don't clean the toilet though. xx
