14 Feb Color Combo- Sage Green and Lilac
As I am looking toward Spring, I decided to pair this darker sage green blouse with a lilac floral scarf.
The Color Combo
Sage and lilac are such a beautiful combination. You can think of the flowers in your garden when you are pairing greens with other colors. Sage and blush are a very soft, romantic pairing as well
I first put together this outfit from my closet, as I find myself shopping my closet a bit more this season. After shooting this blog post, I began to look for examples and came across the pairing with a bride’s flower bouquet.
Lilac is a color that will be trending for Spring 2022 and was seen last year as well. And sage, is one of the colors of green. It has a grayish, silver tone. It is derived from a mix of yellowish green and color grey. So because sage has yellow to it, it is a warmer color.
It goes with lilac quite well as lilac also has undertones of grey.
Try pairing sage with pinks, purples, yellow, white, greys. These are just a few.
I chose the rest of my outfit to be neutral to let the palette mix of dark sage and lilac take center stage. My Zara tapastry bag is about 4 years old, but the print is Springy with a gold bee pin on the front. It also has these colors in the floral design.

Valentine’s Day
Happy Valentine’s Day friends! (if you celebrate). We went to Raylen Vineyards ( I shared on my IG stories) as they had a wine and truffle pairing. Everyone got a kick out of the fact that my girl’s name is “Truffles”! They paired a rose with a white chocolate rasberry truffle, a Petite Verdo with a caramel chocolate truffle and there were others. They are melt in your mouth!
I brought with me Valentine’s day dog treats (they were PB, Cream cheese and beets) and made my rounds at the Vineyard giving every dog a treat! I really enjoyed that. My pups got a few vday “cookies” from the dog bakery.
Had a great time as it was almost 70 degrees, we enjoyed the music and the treats!
Have you tried combining these colors in the past? Let me know in the comments.

Posted at 07:16h, 15 FebruaryThe perfect week for such a romantic pairing. The softness of these two shades is what’s making it blend so well I think, if either of them had been stronger it may not have worked. Very clever! What a glorious day out.
