The Great & Powerful Oz: The Pantone Color of the Year 2013

I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore Toto!

Welcome to Friday stylish sweets! What a better way to start the weekend off than with things that are “a lively, radiant, lush shade of green?” That is, of course according to Pantone.

Pantone, the company that gives us a new color to love or loathe every year has done it again! The color for 2013 is Emerald. Yes, green, the color of, well… MONEY! That’s pretty much all I needed to know. As a girly girl, I’ve never been fond of the color green so this one will have to grow on me. Weird, huh? I went to college with the colors green and white, everything said “Go Green”. How can I not be a cheerleader for green?!

The best way to get accustomed to something so unfamiliar is to find things you like about it. Sounds easy enough. Let’s see… I like money, actual emeralds and oooh those green skinny jeans I purchased months ago! Remember those? Check it out here in the post, “Drops of Color.”  Essentially, the shopaholic within is rejoicing right now! The idea of finding more clothing and accessories in emerald is now emphatically exciting!

If you’re lost on where to start in the “green zone”, I put together a few items via Polyvore to get you guys and ladies started. If you look through the items below, you have tons of green options. Stylish ones if I do say so myself.

Pantone Color of 2013
See, that wasn’t hard on the eyes at all! Army fatigue wedge sneakers uh helloooo! I was so against wedge sneakers last year, it’s hard to believe I’m stocking up on them now! Of course you never live without classic Converse/Chucks. Once you break those bad boys in, it’s like heaven on earth. Emerald is the color, right? Well you can’t forget about actual emeralds stylish people!

Pantone is calling emerald, “a vivid verdant green,enhances our sense of well-being further by inspiring insight as well as promoting balance and harmony.”
That seals the deal for moi! Balance and harmony! We could all use a little more of that in our busy, hectic lives. Go Green! Uh. Go Emerald! Let me click my heels three times to these emerald green heels on Heels.com and make my way to Oz!
