Lush. Lively. Elegant. Pantone Color Of The Year - Emerald

Well if you don't have emerald green in your wardrobe, it's time to head to the stores and add some. Pantone announced the 2013 color of the year... drum roll please... emerald!  

This color is said to be "Lively. Radiant. Lush... A color of elegance and beauty that enhances our sense of well-being, balance, and harmony."

This can be a tough color to wear, well for me anyways.  I'll be honest, I'm not a huge fan of green, but I'll be shopping the racks to add this color to my closest. Whether you choose a piece of apparel or decide to go with an accessory, emerald is a must for 2013.
Tip: Gold accessories are the perfect match for something green.

Touch of Animal Print

My color choices have made the fall transition - this look fell into the gray and greens. When you're wearing something that is neutral you need to spice it up with accessories! For this look I added shinny bright gold jewelry. That just wasn't enough so I wore my new pair of animal print flats! They went perfect with the color scheme and added a fun print. These were a great fashion find - $20 on clearance at TJ Maxx, they're Lucky Brand.

Sweater - GAP

Pants - Marshalls 

Tip: Get yourself some animal print - it's fun and adds the perfect kick to fall colors!
