EMERALD!
I, for one am so excited for this color. I think that emerald green is such an interesting color to try to work in day to day. It's such a bright color, yet rich and deep. It's simply gorgeous. So. In honor of the reveal of this wonderful color of the year for 2013, I wanted to share a few ways to work it into your wardrobe this coming year.
Nail Polish
As my very good friend, Chelsea, inspired me with on Instagram recently, green nail polish will be a trend here soon. Boy was she right. Pictured above is Emerald Sparkle by China Glaze, and it is beautiful. I am currently wearing a more traditional green by Sinful Colors in HD Nails, but I have topped it with my China Glaze Hunger Games Electrify to give it more of a holiday/Christmas-y feel. I love the look of DARK green nails, and Emerald Sparkle is going straight to the top of my list for next to purchase.
Colored Jeans
If you can't tell by now, I am a huge fan of colored pants, and this emerald color has not changed my opinion in the slightest. Paired with a white top and some gold jewelry, green pants look so dignified and chic. Green pants would be a wonderful way to transition the colored denim trend into the spring, and would be versatile enough to bring back in the fall. You can throw on your brown riding boots with this look, any kind of high heel, and even sandals in the right weather. This is probably going to be my favorite way to work this color this coming year.
Coat
Shown above is the lovely Blair Waldorf's choice in green coat (SIDEBAR: 2 things; a: I love me some Gossip Girl and b: Blair has rocked a green coat more than once in the length of the show). I know that it is winter for most people in the country, unless you live in Texas like me and don't even need to know where your coat is just yet, and I think this would be the most immediate and dashing way to wear emerald this winter. You can throw this coat on for a pop of color just about anywhere, and it is a wonderful way to brighten up any dark winter outfit. I love it.
What are some ways you are going to wear emerald this coming year? Are you as excited about this color as I am? Leave a comment below and tell me! I love to hear from you guys! Thanks for reading!

ReplyDeleteAnd green wasn't a very hot color this winter.
She seems very knowledgeable in speaking of her fashion and makeup choices, so why does it matter about her education in fashion?
DeleteEmerald is a stunning color, especially for this ginger!
