The Girl in the Green Scarf





Sunnies: Marc by Marc Jacobs (option) | Earrings: Express | Scarf: JCrew (option, option)  | Dress: Bailey 44 (in black here | Tights: DKNY (option) | Boots: Coach (love this other wedge boot option here and on crazy sale)

In case you didn't catch that, the title of my post is a reference to the movie Confessions of  a Shopaholic. I think about that movie every time I wear this scarf. (See my favorite scene here - cracks me up every time!) Anyhoo, everyone is posting about Radiant Orchid - the Pantone Color of the Year for 2014. Meanwhile, I'm all 2000 and late donning last year's emerald. But, I just love it for fall and winter because it pairs well with grey and cognac - hence today's combo.

Can we talk about this dress for a second? I bought it with some Christmas money and I freaking love that it's just a simple pullover dress but looks fancier than that. Plus I'm into anything and everything perforated these days, so I was in love at first sight.

But back to the Pantone colors - how do you feel about this year's color compared to last year? Prefer one over the other, hate them both, or indifferent altogether?

  2. Your longer shirt/sweater is nice and the toned down colour works so well with the bold scarf!
    Also, love the boots! You look so pretty!

  6. I love emerald over orchid, but I am a little excited to break out of my comfort zone and work some of 2014's color of the year into my wardrobe. :)

    Great look, doll!

  9. I love both but but right now it's radiant orchid a little bit more- I think because it's new. I'm fickle with my fashion :-) Is that dress laser cut? Love it!

    1. Radiant orchid is def perfect for fall! My favorite nail color is in this orchid family, and it's such a great pick me up!
      And yes, this has a perforated bottom half. It def makes the dress! Thanks for stopping by!
