Should I go GREEN?

Nothing I own is green (colored) Nada. Well okay, there is one striped blouse, but that is it.

I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I am dying to try out a green blazer or mac similar to the one below and a top or dress without looking like a leprechaun or golf caddie.

But it has to be the right kind of green.

Nothing too bright or neon because it's not 1991.
Nothing that resembles snot or puke.
Nothing that looks brown or dirty.

Here are a few items I found...and let me say, it wasn't easy!

 










Given the difficulty of finding these online I don't think I will fare too well if I try to go shopping. Mind you, I have several gift cards from Christmas and my birthday so if I did come across the right green, I may just go for it. I think they all go well with my Comfy Mamá Chic style.

Oh, and this is as "green" as I get:
So if you see a deep/darkish green blazer out and about, let me know!

What do you think, should I go green?

Is there a color you don't dare try?
