Emerald

nail polish / bag / earrings

pants / shirt / trench

suede booties / patent flats / jeweled flats

When emerald was announced as Pantone's color of the year for 2013, I wasn't thrilled (I much prefer the honeysuckle and tangerine from recent years past). Since then, I've warmed up to the idea a little more and have found that I'm most drawn to fabrics and textures that allow the jeweled tone to shine, such as the patent heels, the metallic leather bag, the jacquard printed pants, or shimmery nail polish.

What do you think about emerald as 2013's color of the year?
