It’s time to “summerize” our wardrobe, ladies! Summer officially starts on June 20th, which means the sweltering heat, plenty of Vitamin D and a good tan (and like always, it looks like we got a head start here in Los Angeles). I was looking through my closet the other day and was surprised to find plenty of olive green. When did I acquire all that? Beats me, since I’m still lovin’ the color!

Then I wondered, how could I make a fall color look more summer-friendly? What was I going to whip up? The answer? Rather than spending large bucks on new outfits, I  decided to save $ like all you recessionistas out there and summerize my off-season clothes with popping accents of jewelry, which adds a whole new flavor to any old outfit!

Surprisingly, a lot of people have been asking me to recommend jewelry pieces that go with olive green. So to answer that question for everyone, here you are! But first we need to establish what colors go with olive green. Shhh…now here’s a little secret I’m going to let you in on: Color Scheme Designer. It’s my online go-to place when I need color advice. It’s a free, ingenious color wheel tool that let’s you choose up to six colors that complement each other. Olivine and other green-toned jewelry is an obvious choice for matching olive green apparel, but for more popping accents (a summer must!), luscious raspberry, blackberry purple,  thirst-quenching lime and neon green look stunningly charming as matching jewelry pieces!

And yes! The garishly refined neon green is back from the 80s. Neons come on strong this summer, as reported by Style.com.  So go ahead and layer your olive green tank over a neon green tank or the other way around, and voilà, you’ve got yourself a winning outfit!

If you’re not into bright jewelry (oh, but it’s a must!), then you can never go wrong with white and cream porcelain jewelry, or gold, bronze and silver jewelry. Black jewelry also goes wonderfully well with olive green garb, but you might want to save that for the fall and wear all the color you can wear–while you still can.☺
