The new season has brought around a new color obsession and I have the Duchess of Sussex to thank for it. The stunning and constant style inspiration, Meghan Markle, has been favoring a gorgeous deep green recently. I’ve been at a lost of what to call it, but I’ve heard the name bottle green be thrown around. While it’s not the most romantic or glamorous of names (like millennial pink), I think it really nails it. Placed somewhere between teal and hunter green on the spectrum, this shade is absolutely gorgeous and (I think) incredibly flattering on olive skin tones. I am by no means comparing myself to Meghan Markle, but I see us as having similar complexions. So, I’ve been looking to her for inspiration to play around with different colors and help me try something different other than my usual navy.

My spin on bottle green (pun) comes in this sweet little dress from Old Navy. At under $30, it’s the perfect excuse to play around with a new color. What I love the most about this dress is the silhouette of it. 3/4-length sleeves and a fun A-line skirt make it the most darling thing you can throw on for the work day. It’s a style I think the Duchess, herself, would be able to get behind. To make things even better, the stretchy material makes the dress as comfy as can be. At such a wallet-friendly price point, I may have to grab this dress in every color they offer.
For my heels, I decided to (again) copy Meghan and go with a pair of camel suede pointed toe heels from Sam Edelman. This color is always a staple, but something about this rich color makes it the perfect compliment to the vibrant green. Plus, because of the color, these heels have this magical ability to make your legs look like they are a mile long! I will take any help I can get in that department.
Finally, I was absolutely floored to find that my scarf of the season from Tuckernuck was the perfect accessory for my ‘Duchess of Sussex’ dress. The green tones in the scarf are nearly identical and the pop of coral is the perfect stand out for an already amazing outfit. I really have to give myself credit here, folks. I have never felt more put together and regal than in this outfit. The biggest lesson I learned today is that maybe I need to copy British royalty style more often.
