what to wear: teal for a cause

Maria loves purple and I love teal. Actually, I probably love them both equally as well because they look so good on most everyone. But teal now has even more significance for me since it’s the color of the ribbon for Ovarian Cancer awareness. And September is the month to remind you beautiful women to get checked. I honestly never knew it could happen to anyone (no family history required!) and if you haven’t read Diana Jewel’s article about it over at goinggraylookinggreat.com, then do yourself a favor and get over there. Very enlightening!!
Here’s a weekend outfit and an outfit for a wedding or special event that combines some of the beautiful teal that we’re now seeing in stores.
- Stretch Satin Dress – super flattering for an hourglass or triangle, this dress is great on the wallet and eyes. Perfect for a celebratory event.
- Platform patent leather heel in teal – for those who love height, these look great with the dress or with a skinny jean.
- Mid-Rise cord trousers in a teal green is perfect as a neutral. Thanks Old Navy!
- Create a complementary color harmony by wearing a brown swing cardigan. Brown and teal look super rich together.
- Adding a brown flat (it also comes in teal!) and a teal tote by Marc by Marc Jacobs finishes the look.
For other color combos, try teal with rust or deep pumpkin or with violet or navy. It looks sophisticated with gray and sleek with black. If you typically wear a lot of black, invest in a teal scarf to add a bit of color.
It is amazing that has the impact of being both a wonderful color that suits everyone very well and a symbol of the fight against Ovarian cancer. The images you have posted here are wonderful and really display the aesthetic power of the hue. Seems like it was a fantastic strategic move on the part of the Ovarian Cancer Research to select this color to represent their cause.
Is it just me, or is anyone else having trouble with the links? I use firefox and when I click on any of the links, I get a header with a blank page, the header says”

hey Christy – that is the wardrobe911 header that is similar to facebook and stumblethis when you visit a page. I view the site in firefox and it’s okay for me. It must be something with the plugin we have installed so I’ll have to do some checking. Would be nice to know if it’s just happening to you in this post or in all others. Thanks!
yes, I wholeheartedly agree about their choice of color! they must have had a great design/color expert help them explore the appropriate one.
I love the swing cardigan. Does it work on rectangles?
Thank you.
YES! It is perfect for rectangles Nicole.
