Emerald City

Around the holidays, I purchased a new deep green sweater from the Polo RL Factory Store. The salesman and I were chatting about how it’s a shame that this color only seems to be widely available at Christmastime. Wrong we were, at least for this year, because Emerald is Pantone’s 2013 Color of the Year!

I’m a little excited to say the least, and can’t wait to continue pairing it with navy– one of my favorite color combos.

[Santa Catalina Sweater, ModCloth, $35]
[Musee Rodin Skirt, ModCloth, $35]
[Eyepopper Flats, Nine West, $89]
[The Lovelock Minibag, Madewell, $138]
[Emerald Trillion Bib, BaubleBar, $32]

Are you as thrilled as I am about spending 2013 in the Emerald City? To see my favorites from past Colors of the Year, click here!

I’d happily wear nautical all year round, especially living up here along the water, but thank goodness for summer when it seems to be the style on everyone’s mind and is so readily available! Some of my current favorite pieces…
