Pantone declared emerald green as the “it” color of 2013. However, lots of shades of green are popping up everywhere, as well. In fact, I’d like to nominate the broad color of green to be the “it” color of the moment!
Here are some of our favorite runway looks, as well as 5 outfits at the end of today’s post to inspire you for spring! Our outfits incorporate another “it” color, coral.

Green! Beautiful Green! Green has been my favorite color for as long as I remember. Actually, at some point in my young life, I thought I would name my future daughter Emerald. Not sure I’d still do that, but I am still obsessed with the color and love that it’s the IT color of the season!
You could call her Emmi:-)!
Want that denim jacket. (Love that whole outfit.) Not only does the “It City” not have an H&M, the web site says: “Online shopping currently not offered in your area.” Huh?
Heard that H&M is moving into Opry Mills!! JOY!
Martha,
It is opening in Opry Mills, but I can’t remember by when… odd about the online shopping. Wonder why not?
