It's dark green.
Big party coming up - lots of people, some i don't know - i'd like to look glam but not stand out too much. I'm hour glass and bustier than the model.

Nude kitten heels? Nude tights?

Or should i try to find some dark green shoes? Or is that too matchy?Dark tights with dark shoes? Bare legs?!

I don't get out much these days! Haven't dressed up for ages. What are your thoughts?

Definitely not red! Have you not heard the rhyme? Red and green should never be seen

This is such a rubbish statement! The FULL rhyme is ‘red and green should never be seen…except upon an Irish Queen’. Indicating that it is definitely a good combination. I’m Irish 😉

Red shoes no knickers. (That's the saying, not a suggestion!)

🤣

It was "blue and green should never be seen" when I was growing up!

So many rules and regulations...🤪

I have a green jumpsuit and I wear it with leopard print shoes and bag, looks great.

Laiste · 13/11/2025 13:40

I bet the jumpsuit looks amazing! I'm envious. I love jumpsuits - on everyone else!

They do nothing for me. I think it's a body/pelvis/leg ratio thing.

I’m so glad you put this- we used to say yellow and green should never be seen 😁

Definitely not nude shoes.

If you fancy a colour, I wouldn’t go for red… Green and red is a bit too Christmas tree IMO. But maybe a shade of blue, or purple.

You’ve never had a tartan scarf?

Going against others, I think bare legs would be all wrong. Sheer black tights. Personally I’d prefer heeled ankle boots, but otherwise black suede heels.

I would go sheer black tights and black higg block heeled ankle boots. My legs look blue apart from in July and August 😆
