Thanksgiving is tomorrow, just in case you didn't know, and I thought this outfit would be a perfect complement for the day's festivities. A rich and comfortable teal dress, vintage handbag, versatile necklace and super comfortable heels that you could wear all evening...how could you go wrong? 

As you can see below, teal looks fabulous on every skin tone!

"Colors on opposite sides of the color wheel enhance each other, which is why strawberries look so good packaged in green containers, Eiseman says. It's not surprising that teal―Pantone 19-4227 TC, the color-wheel opposite of pink―plays up a healthy flush in the skin. Plus, it's more versatile than a bright, summery turquoise, so you can wear it well into the fall with black, brown, and other neutrals." Real Simple Magazine

I-ELLA...clothes consignment on-line

I recently found out about I-ELLA and had to share. It is an on-line clothes consignment site that carries some seriously awesome clothes. They have every thing from Philip Lim 3.1 to J.Crew and it is a breeze to navigate. And options like buy, borrow, swap, sell or lend allow for more...uh options ;). Seriously...going to a party, then why not just borrow a dress for the night??? Not only is this a green fashionista's dream come true, but I-ELLA also supports various social ventures and a percentage of each sale goes towards a charity that you get to pick...how fabulous is that?

Check out some of my favorites below...

Philosophy silver dress


Vera Wang gold pencil skirt


See by Chloe black/white sweater dress (I would be more comfortable with dress)


Diane von Furstenberg black/cream wrap dress


Stella McCartney silk 3/4 sleeve wrap dress


Erin Fetherstone for Target red corduroy dress ($20...how awesome is that?)

I-ELLA is a members only site, but you can use the referral code: INVITE2010 for instant access, which I got from the Green With Glamour's blog...check out what they have to say about I-ELLA here.  

Happy second-hand shopping...the greenest way to shop!!!
