Pantone Challenge - Emerald Monday

Oh how I love clever ideas and challenges, like the Take One and Pass It On challenge back in February!  So good!  Well guess what, there's another one happening this week hosted by Literate & Stylish and The Modern Austen - two lovely ladies with great style and great ideas!  The challenge is this: each day of the week, we wear a Pantone-inspired spring color and link up.

I've already established that emerald, otherwise known by its plain name of "Green," is my fave and here's how I wore it today.
Emerald H&M pants $9, black pointy flats $7
Esprit white and black print top $3.50 
Baby blue Mexx cardi $5
Earrings are from Accessorize (still miss you!).
Arm party by She Does Create.  
It's a small party but who else needs to come when these two show-stoppers are hanging around.

I got the spring trends going on!  Colour of the year, coloured pants, spring pastel, spring white and black!  You can officially call me trendy in head-to-toe VV Boutique for a grand total of $24.50!

  1. I have so many pairs of colored pants in my wardrobe, but no emerald (yet). What a great find for only $9!

  2. oh dear, i'm kind of green with envy seeing how several ladies wore green pants during day 1 of our pantone-inspired color challenge. i think i'm slowly getting past my fear of colored bottoms, so thank you for that! :) i love that shade of green paired with baby blue too, what a great combination!

    1. I have come across pics of coloured skirts that look amazing! I have had my eye out for a green pencil skirt and red! Just the whole snow things limits the wear a bit more! Thanks for stopping by and for the AWESOME challenge and link up! Love it!

  3. I would definitely wear this outfit! I am really contemplating buying emerald green pants and I think you've won me over. Hopefully I will have the same luck as you at Goodwill--my favorite store! I am so glad you linked up with us! It has been a blast discovering new blogs with similar interests!

    1. The nice thing about coloured pants at the thrift store is that they are easy to spot! Good luck on your hunt! (I pretty well buy any coloured pants that fit!)
