Doing the 30x30 challenge, I could put together a tonal olive outfit, but jeans and sweater are in the laundry. I could do the Dre dark olive jeans with the more light olive EF sweater ( last find) and maybe the Bobeau topper for another shade. The Bobeau topper is sort of an olive-tinged taupe, so I included it, but really not an olive. I love the idea of metallic footwear and would add gold metallic loafers and tote bag, olive and cream scarf ( 9th find below) and SE olive coat. I wonder if pearls come in olive? My lucite link necklace and specs frames seem to take on the colors they are with. I will try to link to Angie's blog post. Ihttps://youlookfab.com/
I welcome your suggestions for outfits or additions to this capsule.

Oh, with the viscose scarf by Natural! That would be great! I really like Angie’s tonal olive with a bit of metallic. I haven’t seen anything so beautiful and original in a long time.

Great capsule, Joy. Does the EF olive sweater go with the EF twill jacket? If so, I'd be interested in those with the Dre jeans, paired with metallic shoes and bag. I'd go with the checked or striped scarves, to stay really olive tonal, just for the sake of experimenting with the ensemble. Otherwise, I do love that Natural scarf, with the beautiful mix of pinks and olives.

Wonderful capsule, with different tones of the same color!
I especially love the scarves, including the ones with the pop of orange and pink. They seem to be able to elevate any of the outfits you would create using this capsule! -

How about the Dre jeans, olive EF pullover, our anorak, cream footwear and choose a scarf.

Thank you all for your ideas. Angie, I think that would work well and I like the idea of using different shades of olive.

You sure have a wonderful olive capsule. The scarves are particular beautiful. Olive is a color I would like to add more of myself.

This is a great capsule. I am envious!
I don’t see a skirt or dress? I must say I lust after that olive and metallic skirt that Angie featured in the ensemble. You could pull something like that off Joy.

Lovely olive capsule.

You have an impressive olive capsule. I keep proclaiming how much I love olive, but actually have very little in olive. I particularly like your scarves. I’ve been looking for scarves with olive but have been having a tough time.

JAileen, I could not find a scarf that even had olive in it this fall/winter. The ones shown are all older that I have picked up through the years because I liked them.
Amy Isabella, than you. I would like to add a summer top as the Target tank is used mostly as an under layer.
Brooklyn, you are right. I would love to have a skirt, but the olive sweater dress would be ideal for my lifestyle. I am sorry I did not jump in time to get the one Angie has.
Lynn, olive is so versatile, isn't it. I would also like more. I would love to find olive in a texture like velvet or tweed.
