Seeing Green on Word Wednesday

Wednesday, January 30, 2013

I can't hide it any longer. Like many, I'm utterly in love with Pantone's 2013 Color of the Year: Emerald. I love to discover the "it" color for each new year, despite playing it safe and sticking to my usual palette of gray, black, navy and stripes. While it may seem trivial, it's a powerful visual inspiration and literally sets a fresh tone for the year. I've always had a secret soft spot for green (mint and kelly, especially), but a few years ago, I was completely taken with Keira Knightley's emerald gown in Atonement. I haven't been the same since. I'm in deep! Such a rich and vibrant color, it's bold and timeless all at once. Here are a few things I'm loving lately. And wise words to get us through the week!

How do you feel about the Color of the Year? Even if you're not completely loving the sea of green, I'm sure we can agree that Keira's dress was simply perfection. Yes?
