There are some colour combinations that have become firm favourites of mine; green and pink is definitely one of them. You may remember that for April’s Style Not Age outfit I wore a blush pink sweater and lime green trousers. Other recent green and pink combinations include my dark green cords and pink coat, and the lime trousers with an oversized pink blouse. I’m sure if I dig deeper into the archives I’ll find more examples! I love the deep emerald green shade of these trousers and the gold decorative buttons. However, they are not at all forgiving on the tummy, so definitely not for bloaty days, if you know what I mean!
The top is from Saturday by Megan Ellaby, a label that has gained popularity with Instagrammers since it launched in 2018. (Megan is a Mancunian blogger who loves colour and print…I can totally relate!) The fabric quality is really good with a decent amount of stretch. It’s not one of those thin slinky tops (of which I have many), but a more form-fitting style that doesn’t wrinkle. For that reason, it’s best suited for slightly cooler days. These photos were taken before the weather picked up so I wasn’t too hot. Teaming green and pink animal print adds a twist to this colour combination with the smattering of red, which I’ve picked up on with my jewellery. Layering the relaxed fit trench coat over it meant I didn’t feel too trussed up, which I might have done with a jacket.
For a fun touch I chose my glittery watermelon bag from Skinny Dip rather than a conventional handbag. It’s not very practical but I do love a quirky bag! The white square toe boots add that retro vibe that I’m really into right now. I was slow to get on board with white footwear but now I’m loving it!

Emma,
I adore the other color ways for a leopard print besides the true-to-life ones and your top is fabulous. Your eye for color combos is awesome as I would have never thought to pair that top with green but it works beautifully. Thanks for the styling inspirations and for hosting with a smile.

Thanks Darlene! I love fun and quirky bags!
Green and pink is wonderful color combination! I really like the rows of buttons on your slacks. It’s the little details that give an item extra pizzazz.

Thanks so much Suzy!
Super fun outfit, Emma! I do love green and pink together as well. I just found the cutest vintage bow neck blouse with a pink print that I am thinking may look amazing with a green bottom now! I really love your fun pink leopard print top and your watermelon bag. I love a cute quirky bag, too, even if it is impractical!

Hi Emma!
I love color as well and this is just one of my favorite color combinations! The pink leopard top is a fun twist on leopard and I love your watermellon bag, so cute and perfect for summer! I have a thing for lemons, and Kate Spade had this lemon wicker bag, so im looking on poshmark for it.
Have a great week!

I need that turtleneck in my life!! Loving the colour and of course the way you styled it with green! I wouldn’t have thought- such a great colour combo…and don’t get me started on that cuteness of watermelon… xx
This bold combination really works on you and I love the watermelon clutch – how cute is that?! I’ve always found green tricky to wear but I’m challenging myself to wear it more lately. I really like olive and blush together but this outfit shows me I should be open to trying more shades! 🙂
Hope you have a great weekend ahead of you! It’s a fun one here with kids birthday parties!
Emma, your outfit is so awesome – I love these colours. The sequined watermelon slice purse is just amazing! Thanks so much for the link-party!
