Happy Birthday, August beauties 💚
This month we’re channeling our inner Elphaba Thropp with peridot (pronounced “PAIR-uh-dot” or “PAIR-uh-doe”). Can you tell I finally watched wicked? This month’s birthstone is far from hideous though….
This gem can range from pale yellow-green hues to a deep olive and pairs beautifully with gold accents.
Peridot gives me end of summer, peace in the country, cozy cottage vibes. Green is my favorite color, so I’m naturally attracted to this month’s stone.
When you’re thrifting, this month keep your eyes peeled for vintage style rings with pops of peridot. Don’t pass up that garage sale sign – you never know when you’ll come across the perfect green vase to add to your collection or a lovely handmade throw blanket to brighten any room.
Peridot is a great summer to fall fashion transition color as you can pair it with light and airy fabrics as well as denim and leather. Make sure you’re signed up for your local goodwill emails to be notified of end of season sales and don’t forget about tax free shopping before the school year starts.
Anyway, you style it, peridot is a gorgeous shade that is sure to fill your wardrobe, home decor, and senses will cheer. 💚
