30 PLUS WAYS TO WEAR AN OLIVE BLAZER (SUSTAINABLE FASHION FILES)

Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, we'll talk some more about  sustainable fashion. As I believe the best way to learn is through example, so I'll show you multiple ways how to style an olive green blazer. On this little digital place to call my own, I love to show you how you can be more sustainable by shopping your closet. The more you love items in your closet and the better care you take of your clothes, you easier you'll find it to shop your closet. So, that's something to keep in mind! Besides linking up outfits with this blazer, I'll link up multiple ways to wear other items in my closet. As always, there will be fun collages to help you see the vision- how chic and fun restyling items can be!

Olive green can be somewhat of an underrated colour, even if it is trending at the moment. For Autumn/Winter 2024/2025, tonal dressing in olive greens and khakis is right on trend. I'm convinced that when styled right, olive green can look good with anything. The energy of olive green is that of peace and nature. So, since green is the colour of ecology,  I guess this blazer is the perfect piece to promote ecological fashion with. I always loved olive green colour, maybe because it reminds me of Croatia. I used to love picking olives as a kid, and I simply cannot imagine Croatian seaside without olive trees. In my paintings and art, olive green is also present. So, there's nothing surprising about the fact that I have an olive green blazer in my closet.

Now, let's talk about this olive blazer. I've actually had this olive blazers for years. I bought it as a part of a set (blazer and skirt set). I remember that it was a real bargain, something like ten euros. It's also unique in one way- it is possibly the only button free blazer that I have. For some reason, I feel like that makes it dressier. What do you think? I like to pair it with dresses, but I often wear it with skirt and pants.  I distinctly remember pairing it with a few formal dresses for special occasions. So, maybe I prefer it with dresses and skirts. However,  I think it can look very posh paired with pants. I'm a big fan of olive green. No wonder I love wearing this blazer so much. 

I DID SOME RESEARCH ABOUT THIS SHADE 'OLIVE GREEN'

Most of the information about olive green I found I was already familiar with. For example, how the term 'olive' originated, was used in English, and so on. I also knew that olive green was a popular choice for military uniforms. I think we all know that. Of course I also knew that it is a colour often used in art, design and fashion.

But reading the composition of olive green, I realized that I never measure colours when I do painting. I sort of do it by instinct, and while there is nothing wrong with that, I'd like to learn more about colour theory. After all, colour is such a big part of my life!

The term olive, denoting the fruit, entered Middle English in the 14th century from the ancient Greek elaia. It wasn't until the 1600s that the term olive green, inspired by the hue of unripe olives, was recognized in English.

Olive green became a staple in military attire in the 19th century. Its muted tones were ideal for camouflage, helping soldiers blend in with their surroundings. Although the U.S. military transitioned to a “woodland” camouflage pattern in 1981, countries like Israel, Cuba, India, Venezuela, and Austria continue to use olive drab for uniforms.

Olive green has been embraced in fashion, design, and art, reflecting evolving attitudes toward environmentalism and peace. Artists like Claude Monet and Thomas Wilmer Dewing explored its versatility in works like "Bridge Over a Pond of Water Lilies" (1899) and "Symphony in Green and Gold" (1912), showcasing the color's capacity to convey depth and natural beauty in landscapes and abstract compositions.*

...and then I read some more ABOUT OLIVE GREEN (source here)

I looked around online to find a professional approach on what olive green is. 

Olive green is a complex and muted color with an earthy, subdued appearance. Positioned in the green section of the color wheel, it leans towards yellow, giving it a distinctly warm, natural tone. This particular shade captures the essence of olive green, reminiscent of dark moss green. Olive green is defined by the following color codes and values to ensure consistency across various digital platforms and devices. 1) HEX code: #636B2F / 2) RGB value: 38.8% red, 42% green and 18.4% blue

SOME TIPS FOR USING OLIVE GREEN that I found on the above mentioned site include using it to convey stability and growth in design, using it to vibe with the nature and outdoors, as a background for other themes, and parallel with earth tones. Apparently, olive green, with its earthy and natural undertones, is excellent for health, wellness, and sustainability designs. It can be used it to create a stable, calm and reassuring atmosphere. Moreover, it is useful in creating connection with the nature and the outdoors. It can also be used to create a background. Finally, 

BOTH IN FASHION AND DESIGN, OLIVE GREEN CAN CONVEY A FEELING OF CALM AND RELAXATION, ESPECIALLY WHEN PAIRED WITH EARTLY TONES!

Olive green is a great symbol for nature, so it can be especially appealing to those individuals who enjoy the outdoors. Maybe that is why it is so appealing to me, now that I think of it! It can be a great 

FURTHERMORE, OLIVE GREEN CAN BE A GREAT BACKGROUND COLOUR THAT YOU CAN USE TO BUILD YOUR OUTFIT AROUND

If you have a look at design tips below, you'll see that many of them can be applied to fashion as well. Use olive green for backgrounds or themes. Use olive green for backgrounds or themes to evoke a sense of serenity and focus. Its muted tones can reduce eye strain. Complement with earth tones. Pair olive green with earth tones like browns, tans, and deep reds to create a cohesive, grounded design. This palette can enhance the user experience by bringing warmth and a sense of welcome to your digital space...or as I would add- to you outfit.

OLIVE GREEN SYBOLIZES PEACHE AND CALMNESS, AND IT PROVIDES A PSYCHOLOGICAL FEELING OF BALANCE AND RENEWAL

Olive green symbolizes peace and tranquility, rooted in the ancient tradition of offering an olive branch as a sign of harmony. Its earthy tones reflect stability, endurance, and resilience, echoing the olive tree's ability to thrive under harsh conditions. In military contexts, olive green stands for honor, wisdom, and dedication, showcasing the values of service and commitment.

The color psychology of olive green ties to its natural undertones, fostering feelings of balance and renewal. It creates a grounded, secure environment, often enhancing well-being and stability. Olive green's link to the earth and sustainability identifies it as a color of eco-consciousness.*

HOW I WORE THIS BLAZER BEFORE? LET'S TALE A WALK DOWN THE FASHION MEMORY LANE...

If you search my blog's archive, you might come upon these posts...

LET US HAVE A LOOK AT MULTIPLE WAYS TO STYLE THIS BLAZER!

#1  WITH STILETTO HEELS AND A CHERRY PRINT DRESS 

SUSHI DATE STYLING- CHERRY PRINT DRESS PAIRED WITH AN OLIVE BLAZER

I paired my cherry print dress (five ways to style it here) with stiletto heels (last worn here) and an olive blazer (worn here). It was a warm day, but I still layered two types of tights, wearing the burgundy ones under the leopard fishnets. I like wearing these two pairs together (see here for another example).  

2# WITH FLORAL SKIRT, A BLACK TOP AND MARY JANE HEELS

This is an outfit I wore when I went to have some of my painting framed in 2019. Browsing through my archives, I noticed that I paired this fashion house Edi floral skirt with this olive blazer more than once. They just seem like a match made in heaven. 

APRIL RECAP (16 SPRING BLAZER OUTFITS ) 2019

If you browse through this 2019 April post, you'll find 16 outfits featuring blazers. Of course, this olive green blazer is one of the outfits featured there! You cannot have enough blazer outfits to get inspired me.  If life has taught me anything in regards to style...it's that- blazers are girl's best friends. I've been wearing blazers on every day basis ever since Autumn kicked in. They're the perfect item for transitional weather. I life in a Mediterranean climate, so that means that sometimes a blazer is all I need even during Autumn and Spring. I've practically been wearing blazers to work everyday since the school started. I especially enjoyed styling my vintage ones. If you're looking for some inspiration for wearing blazers, my blog is not a bad place to start. 

In my recap post from 2019, I shared two outfits featuring this olive blazer. An outfit featuring my wool and silk floral skirt from fashion house Nebo is a dressy one, but so is the one with the pencil dress and leopard heels. If you keep browsing, you'll find the look with leopard heels soon enough!

#3 WITH ONE SHOULDER BLUE DRESS AND STILETTO HEELS

Styling this olive blazer with an asymmetrical dress was fun. I always enjoy a nice pairing of blue and green. I think these two shades (cobalt blue and olive green) work quite well together. What do you guys think? I wore this back in 2018. When it comes to formal wear, asymmetric cuts can be just what we need to stand out. One shoulder dresses are always the way to go when we want to stand out a but. They are a classy way of showing some skin. For this autumn outfit proposal, I paired this cobalt dress with a military green blazer. I think this outfit works quite well. Black is always an elegant choice, but you want to wear something more colourful why not opt for a red or green blazer? It can be a great way to add some colour into your special occasion outfit. Are you all set for special occasion outfits? 

WHAT DRESS TO CHOOSE THIS AUTUMN? SPECIAL OCCASION OUTFIT INSPIRATION!

#4 WITH A WHITE CHERRY PRINT DRESS AND MARY JANE HEELS

I love pairing this olive green blazer with white because it feels somehow unexpected. I paired this white cherry print dress with an olive blazer and block heels.  I think this blazer is a good pairing with this dress because of its open cut (no buttons) that makes the dress more visible. It's a pretty dress, isn't it? The olive also matches the green leaves on the cherry print pretty well. I think this outfit would look even better without tights, but I tend to wear tights until it gets quite warm. This white cherry print dress is perfect for layering. Plus, the green on the leaves somehow ties up with the olive green. White dress, cherry print and olive green blazer- I feel that this combo works well enough. This feminine outfit proposal was something I wore for a date with my husband in 2019.  

#5 WITH A BLACK AND WHITE DRESS AND BLACK HEELED BOOTS

In this outfit post, I paired this black and white dress with dark tights, high heeled Šimecki boots and a faux leather tote bag. I also added in an umbrella because it was raining. I must say I liked this outfit. I think this white and yellow dress looks nice paired with this olive blazer. 

#6 OLIVE GREEN BLAZER WORN WITH ALL BLACK

AN OLIVE GREEN BLAZER WORN WITH BLACK CORD FLARES  

In 2019, I again asked myself- How to style an olive green blazer? My outfit proposal on 4th of April 2019 suggested a dark palette. I don't typically wear dark tones, especially not for spring but there are some darker tones that appeal to me, for example I can't resist a dark green palette. As it happens, I like to pair it with black. I do like the black aesthetic, but generally speaking I'm more drawn to patterns and colours. Black is a colour too, I can't argue with that.  Even if black is not my favourite colour, it is still a colour I love. For many, black is the colour of mystery, strength and elegance. Like any colour, it has many connotations. So, that day I had a dark outfit proposal. Perfect for those of you who believe that black is the new black. 

#7 WITH A BLACK DRESS AND PEEP TOE PLATFORM HEELS 

 OUTFIT PROPOSAL FOR NEW YEAR EYE (OLIVE GREEN AND BLACK)

Back in 2017, this my outfit proposal for New Year Eve. I still haven't decided what I'm going to wear, I will probably decide last minute but if you want to go for a classical look, I think something like this might work. I was actually wearing make up here. Not only that I was wearing some make up, I was also happy with how it turned out. If you know me, you know this doesn't happen very often. I'm no make up wizard. But on this occasion, it somehow worked. Good times. Later that evening, I went to pick up an oil painting of mine that I had framed and then I went for a walk with my significant other wearing this (but I wore different shoes).  I do like this outfit. I think that olive green complements black rather nicely. Sometimes I'm happy to go for more earthly and neutral colours.

#8 WITH A PEPLUM DRESS AND LEOPARD HEELS

THIS OUTFIT FEATURING MY OLIVE GREEN BLAZER WORN WITH A PENCIL DRESS AND LEOPARD HEELS FELT VERY FEMININE AND CHIC!

How to dress more feminine? An easy way to do it is to turn to vintage inspired clothing. A nice blazer and a dress will always take you far, but can you turn to this outfit formula even when it comes to rainy Autumn days? I think you can, but it will also depend on how much rain we're talking about. Layering is always a good idea (hence the blazer), especially if the rainy days happen to be a bit fresh as well. Apart from my heels, the rest of the outfit is appropriate for rain. In a way, the heels were appropriate too because there wasn't that much rain on the pavements. When the rain is light enough, you can still get away with fancy heels. When it is not, you better wear rain proof shoes. 

I actually like to play with prints for rainy days. In this outfit, there is a subtle mix of prints with the tartan top and leopard heels. I feel this outfit is a good fit for a rainy day, as long as it is not raining cats and dogs. If that is the case, be sure to wear boots or something of the sort. Whenever I feel like dressing up, I always remember that you can't go wrong with the  dress and heels outfit formula. 

#9 WITH A MAXI BEIGE SUMMER DRESS AND WEDGES 

This is a summery styling I wore ages ago. This maxi crochet dress looks good worn with anything.

#10 WITH A GYPSY SKIRT, A TURTLENECK AND BIKER BOOTS 

I wore this styling for a walk around the town. I'm not sure have I posted this outfit before. I really like it because there's a bit of mixed print situation going on. At the same time, I feel like this olive blazer joins the earthly colours and prints.

#11 WITH A MATCHING SKIRT, A MULTICOLOURED BAG, RED T-SHIRT AND MARY JANE HEELS

Back in 2017, I wore this olive blazer as a part of the suit it actually belongs to. My pairing was simple: AN OLIVE SUIT, RED TOP AND MULTICOLOURED BAG

I don't know why I don't wear this blazer as a part of a suit more often. I mean I like to wear it on its won, but it looks great worn as a part of a suit as well! What do you guys think? Should I wear it as a part of a suit? 

#12 WITH A BLACK DRESS, CARAMEL BOOTS AND A CROSSOVER BAG

I don't remember what I wore this combo for? Do you? I see I'm holding some books here, so it might have been a book review post? I do love this midi black dress with ruffles. Pairing it with a crossover bag and camel boots seemed like a good choice...and this is an outfit I'd actually love to repeat. 

#13 WITH BLUE JEANS, A STATEMENT NECKLACE, A DARK BLUE TURTLENECK AND CAMEL BOOTS

As usual, my outfit is all about sustainable fashion. You know I love shopping my closet. There is, however, one 'new' item in my outfit and that would be my earrings. I'll show you a closer view some other time.

This outfit is all about shopping my closet as well. I wasn't sure how this dotted dark light almost pastel lilac would work with the dark shades (the olive blazer, the dark blue scarf and black dress) but it ended up working just fine together.

I posted this cute lilac and black styling back in 2022. I also wrote about changing our routine in that post. Change comes in many different shapes and forms. Not every change needs to be dramatic and  stressful, sometimes change can be easy and simple. Little changes to our daily routine can help with introducing a more positive outlook on life. We all know that feeling of being stuck in a rot. It isn't a good feeling, is it? In fact, routine can make us feel trapped and even depressed. That is why little changes to our daily routine can be beneficial for our productivity. Today I'll present some free, simple and easy ideas for spicing up things that can be applied to different aspects of your life.

The idea is that you don't have to spend time and money to change things up in your life.  You can jazz up your daily activities by doing something simple, like reversing the order in which you do things. If you can't afford to travel, you can try to find some new and interesting places in your home town. You can stop for a cup of coffee in a new cafe you have never been to and so on. If you can't afford new clothing items, you can learn how to shop your closet better. If you feel your relationship is stuck in a rot, you can try doing new activities together. If you are currently struggling with learning something, you can try finding a new learning method that will work better for you. Changing your routine doesn't have to be intimidating, overwhelming and expensive. It can be easy, simple and free of charge.

This outfit is something I wore for a lunch date with my husband. As I said in many a blog posts this Spring, you have to dress for the weather. If the Spring proves as fresh as Autumn or as cold as Winter, you simply have to dress for the weather. I did like the colour palette in this look. Perhaps it's a bit dark, but at least there is some flora print to invoke it. I like the combination of camel and olive green. Moreover, I have just realized that this is not the first time I have paired this skirt with this blazer. I think this is the only 'no button' blazer I own and I wear it a lot. Should I invest into another one? 

#16 WITH  GYPSY SKIRT, FAUX FUR AND A PAIR OF STILETTOS

Outfit number 16 was something I wore at home, but isn't it a FUN combo? 

#17 WITH A CHERRY PRINT DRESS, BEIGE BAG AND LOAFERS

Outfit number 17 is one of those outfits that ended up forgotten in my archives. I haven't shared it before, and I'm not sure what year I wore it. It was probably not too long ago, because I bough these black moccasins about a year or two ago. 

#18 WITH A VINTAGE BLUE LONG GOWN #19 WITH A VINTAGE WOOL SKIRT, A STRIPED BLOUSE AND A RED NECKLACE

The outfit number 18 shows me wearing this gorgeous olive blazer with a vintage blue dress! I simply adored this styling and I even illustrated it.

 The outfit number 19 shows me pairing it with a wool vintage dress and a striped shirt and a red necklace. I actually haven't posted outfit 19 before. I wore it this Summer. 

Outfit number 20 is an outfit I wore many years ago! In this look, I presented in a collage with some other skirt and blazer looks I paired here.  

 #20 OLIVE BLAZER WORN WITH A DENIM SKIRT, A RED TOP AND HEELS

If you go back to a post devoted to my Mary Jane heels, you'll find this denim combo.

OUTFIT #21 OLIVE BLAZER STYLED WITH A MATCHING SKIRT AND PINK HEELS (WORN FOR A BOOK REVIEW)

HOW TO STYLE OLIVE GREEN? WHAT COLOURS TO PAIR IT WITH? 

Analyzing these tips, I realized that I have already applied many of them. For example, I did pair olive green with moss green and khaki pretty often. It was a natural instinct, but now I can see how it works with colour theory. 

Here're some tips from the above mentioned site (*https://www.figma.com/colors/olive-green/)

For variations within the same earthy and muted spectrum as olive green, consider:

• Moss Green (#8A9A5B) shares olive green's connection to nature, presenting a slightly lighter and more vibrant hue reminiscent of moss-covered stones.
• Khaki (#F0E68C) offers a lighter, more neutral version, retaining the earthy quality with a softer, more subdued tone.
• Dark Olive Green (#556B2F) is closer to olive green, providing a deeper and more intense version that emphasizes the color's natural depth.
• Sage (#B2C495) introduces a hint of gray, resulting in a muted green that complements olive green's understated elegance.

To complement olive green's grounded tones, consider pairing it with:

• Cream (#FDFBD4) provides a soft contrast, enhancing olive green's natural warmth with its light, airy presence.
• Rust (#B7410E) introduces a rich, warm earth tone, offering a striking yet harmonious contrast to the subdued coolness of olive green.
• Navy Blue (#000080) offers a deep, sophisticated contrast, amplifying olive green's earthiness with a touch of classic elegance.
• Burnt Sienna (#ED7B58) adds a warm, vibrant touch, creating a cozy and inviting palette that complements olive green's rustic charm.
• Soft Beige (#F5F5DC) creates a neutral backdrop that allows the richness of olive green to stand out, grounding the palette in natural simplicity.

Other colors worth considering include charcoal gray for a modern, chic look, soft lavender for a gentle, contrasting pop of color, and terracotta for a warm, earthy vibe that enhances the natural qualities of olive green.

WHAT THIS SITE SAYS OLIVE GREEN MIGHT NOT LOOK GOOD WITH: 

While olive green is versatile, it may clash with:

• Bright Pink (#FFC0CB) can be too stark and vibrant, potentially overwhelming olive green's natural subtlety, leading to a discordant visual effect.
• Electric Blue (#00F0FF), with its intense vibrancy, may detract from olive green's earthy warmth, creating a jarring contrast.
• Neon Yellow (#CCFF00) presents a high-intensity hue that can overshadow olive green's muted, natural essence.
• Deep Purple (#800080), though rich and regal, might compete too strongly with olive green, overshadowing its natural serenity.
• Lime Green (#89F336), being much brighter and more saturated, can create a visually unsettling combination with olive green's muted tones.*

**https://www.figma.com/colors/olive-green/

I found the tips for what colour to avoid with olive green interest as well. I do agree that bright pink might class with olive green, but I think magenta would look just perfect with it. 

When it comes to fashion, I actually disagree with the rule of avoiding pairing the electric blue with olive green. I mean it might work for design, but I actually found this combo works well in outfits, creating a contrast that frames the blue perfectly. I also disagree with not pairing olive green with neon yellow (something I do quite often), lime green and deep purple. So, basically I only agree that it doesn't look best with bright pink. I would also say that it doesn't work that well with some pastels- but not all. 

OUTFIT #22 OLIVE BLAZER PAIRED WITH VINTAGE PENCIL PANTS, A BLACK TOP AND GOLDEN HEELS /

OUTFIT #23 WORN WITH A WHITE TOP, A VINTAGE SKIRT AND GOLDEN PLATFORM HEELS, OUTFIT


#24 WORN WITH AN OLIVE TURTLENECK, BLACK FLARED SANDALS, A STATEMENT NECKLACE AND SILVER HEELS

The three outfits you can see in the collage post were all posted in a post that focused on a reading review.  I didn't really write anything about them when I posted them, but that doesn't mean that I didn't think they were cute.

I think the outfit with pencil pants and stilettoes looks lovely. The pants are vintage. I don't wear them a lot, but I like how they look with stilettoes. The outfit with the vintage mind skirt is quite nice as well. It would looked even better if I had managed to find the time to iron the skirt but maybe some other time. 

 The same applies for the first two outfits in the collage below. I might not have written a lot about them when I posted them because they were posted in a book review, but that doesn't mean I like them any less. 

OUTFIT #25
OUTFIT #26
OUTFIT #27

25) AN OLIVE BLAZER PAIRED WITH A BLACK MINI DRESS, BLACK LEGGINGS AND GOLD STILETTO HEELS WITH DIY POMPOMS. 

As you might have noticed, I like wearing olive with black. It's such an effortless combo and I always feel stylish in it. I have also noticed that when I wear all black items with this particular olive blazer, I tend to add golden accessories. I added DIY pompoms to this pair of heels about a decade ago. These heels were actually my wedding heels. 

26) AN OLIVE BLAZER PAIRED WITH A VIVID BLUE DRESS AND OPEN METALLIC SANDALS WITH KITTEN HEELS

I love how the vivid blue of this dress stands against the olive green. I need to repeat this outfit. Blue and green is always a winning combo, but olive green and vivid blue just makes me think -seaside.

Maybe it's the colour that are naturally found in nature together, those that look best together! Some food for the thought.


27) AN OLIVE BLAZER PAIRED WITH A BLACK RUFFLED MIDI DRESS AND A GOLDEN MALTESE CROSS PRINT SCARF

 For this wedding dress outfit, I shopped my closet for some of my most trusted pieces. I pulled out an elegant black midi dress with ruffles that I got in a collab ages ago and that I still wear and paired with my olive blazer.  Now, this olive and black styling was quite simple. I remember I was feeling exhausted and I just wanted to be comfortable. However, the styling ended up looking quite chic, so I guess it was a win. Sometimes simplicity pays off. When it comes to fashion, I like to experiment and have fun, but I also love the simplicity of an elegant black styling. Here the accent colour was the golden scarf that matched perfectly with the golden zipper detail on the pockets of my olive blazer. Pairing the black kitten heel shoes with a black dress and an olive blazer (that I've had for ages) proved a win. As I explained, I finished the look with a golden scarf I bought on Malta and that was the perfect icing on the cake.  I have to say I was really happy with how pulled together this effortless outfit looked. 

#OUTFIT 28

FORGIVENESS DAY BY URSULA K. LE GUIN (BOOK REVIEW AND AN AUTUMN STYLING)

 In this book review post, I showed you three ways to style this olive blazer. I didn't really speak about these three outfits in that post because the focus was on the book review, but I can write down a few things now. 

#outfit 29

OUTFIT 29) A BLACK SKATER DRESS PAIRED WITH AN OLIVE GREEN BLAZER, A TARTAN SCARF, A MINI BLACK LEATHER BAG,  AND A PAIR OF STILETTO HEELS.

This was a fun styling. I actually wore a version of this for work, only without the stiletto heels. This skater dress is made of a material that is similar to that of coats, so it's super warm. I've also had it for years and I think I may have worn it with this olive blazer before. At any rate, I've worn it with olive green tartan ski jacket back in 2018.

outfit #30

30) AN OLIVE GREEN BLAZER WORK WITH A CROPPED TOP, PENCIL SKIR AND STILETTO HEELS.

To be honest, this outfit was only worn for this reading photoshoot. I wanted some cute photos to post with my book review. However, this is something I would totally wear- and might wear soon. I can imagine wearing this to work, I would just add a shirt under the cropped top and wore the kind of heels that don't break the dress code. 

31) STYLING AN OLIVE GREEN BLAZER WITH A CATICORN SHIRT,  A PAIR OF LEGGINGS, AND A BLACK SKATER SKIRT.

This outfit was something I wore for work. We have a black and white dress code. Well, we had it. Nobody seems to follow it anymore, now that I have finally gotten use to it. Should I boycott it too? What do you guys think? Should I pull out my colourful outfits? Do you miss seeing more colour on this little place to call my own?

outfit #31

Outfits #21 to #31 are  all my recent stylings. As you can see, I still wear this olive blazer regularly.

Thank you for reading and visiting. Have a nice day.
