I’ll admit I was a bit unsure of Pantone’s 2013 color of the year at first glance, but as usual, the more I look at it, the more I think {inner monologue warning} ”yes, I think I’ll have some of that. ”
There is emerald as far as the eye can see. This deep, rich, saturated green is EVERYWHERE…………

What say you? Yay or nay? OK for accessories but ‘no go’ for apparel? Or, will anything emerald do? I’d love to hear!
XO, Sara
P.S. I’m pretty sure I need to make the striped moto sweater mine.
P.P.S. If you’re Maggie Young, then YAY! Your won the RedLetterPaperCo giveaway!!






I used to dislike green but the last couple of years I’m loving it again, especially Emerald Green. Well heck, I’m 1/2 Irish! Two of the skeins I won from Malabrigo Yarn are “Emerald”! Yeah!! I should get my fingers busy! Hope you’re having a wonderful February and so good to have you posting again!
You SO should get your fingers busy with the emerald! I cannot IMAGINE the joy of opening all that luscious yarn!!
It was such a surprise to see so many skeins! How generous of Malabrigo Yarn!
Have a great day Sara.
I love greens, but would not wear raw emerald clothing, although I did when I was a kid. For accessories, it is just lovely. All the jewelry pieces here rock, and I like the Emerald accented bag too. I may just have to dig out my emerald stud earrings and start wearing them again.
I think that for the most part I agree with you. I could definitely do the coat, striped sweater jacket, or any of the accessories……NOT sure about the pants {on me, anyway :-/}
This is a gorgeous collection! Thank you so much for including my necklace!!
I love green but think olive or moss are more for me.
My favorites would be the bracelets above. Pretty!
I love Emerald! The more I see it, the more I would love to have something green for spring!
