The Grossest Green Strikes Again!: Ann Taylor Loft

Hello Readers!

Remember that post I did about my least favorite color? Well, this morning I was accosted by this offender when I opened my email from Ann Taylor LOFT:

Ahhh!!! No! Don't add a twist of "lime"!
Run! Hide! Don't let this color infect your wardrobe! Don't let the clever blazer or cheery smile fool you! This green is gross!

Grinch: The Grossest Green

Hello Readers,


If you are familiar with this blog, you know that I tend to wear neutrals. A lot of neutrals. This doesn't mean that I don't like wearing colors... in fact, I actually love wearing colors like green, aqua, blue, pink, purple, and occasionally red. There is one color, however, that I do not enjoy. I don't like wearing it and I don't like seeing it in my favorite stores. It's a color that falls somewhere in between yellow and green. It looks good on only a handful of people.


What is this color?


dum dum dum.... GRINCH GREEN!



The lightest hues of this color family are what offend my eyes most and I was shocked to find examples from stores I frequent: Anthropologie, Banana Republic, Old Navy, and Abercrombie & Fitch. 

Here are a few offenders:





The Orchard House Cardigan


Cute design... but the color! Oh my eyes! Avert!

Twice-Topped Cardi


This color looks like it is made of Grinch hair


Borrowed Zen Blouse


Golden Grinch Gross. Like Grinch highlights

Dantela Corset Top


Oh how I wish this was a different color. 

Banana Republic:

Jewel Button Cardigan




Lightweight Ruffle-Sleeve Cardigan




Old Navy: 



Popcorn Sweater-Knit Beret



Abercrombie & Fitch:


Breanna


I even found a possible misdemeanor in my own wardrobe:

In my defense, this is more of a grass-green IRL

So Readers... What do you think? Does Grinch Green offend you? Have you spotted it anywhere recently? Or, is there another color that offends you?

Thanks for reading!
