Look of the Day: Green Envy

FabSugar — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 03:00:38 PST

Fab reader Dadouchic injected her cold weather ensemble with a blast of green and subtle pinks. She paired her teal trousers with a sweet blush-hued camisole and a camel-colored blazer. For an extra dose of pastel vibrancy, she cuffed the tailored sleeves to show off satin pink lining details, added a metallic bangle, and wore an orange wrist-wrap. She wrapped up the look with black round-toe pumps, a dark skinny belt, a bold red lip, and a gold cocktail ring. We love the expert color complementing - it's unexpected, but never overdone.

Congrats Dadouchic!

Everyone else, submit your looks, and we might just feature you on FabSugar!

Never one to veer away from the glamour, Kim paired her dramatic gown with oversized diamond and ruby-detailed earrings and a ruby-encrusted cocktail ring. To finish her siren statement, she donned her signature voluminous eyelashes, perfect brows, soft waves, and a rosy red lip tint. Do you think Kim nailed this look?
