This week I will be linking up with
Heidi of Literate & Stylish and
Marissa of The Modern Austen for their Pantone-Inspired Spring Color Challenge. First up is Emerald and I am fortunate that St. Patrick's Day is my favorite holiday because I have tons of green tops so I just picked one when I found these giraffe printed shorts at Marshall's. Compared to all the other green in my St. Patty's Day bin, I thought this was the closest to emerald instead of kelly green, but I shouldn't have stood in front of all the green in my yard because I think my skin looks green in some of these photos and my color correcting skills are dismal at best.

I also have to say that I have a very hard time wearing any type of high heel with shorts because my father in law and I always make fun of women who think they look casual in their tiny shorts while teetering on heels. I hope he would make an exception because these are wedges instead of full heels, but he'd probably just give me the ol' eyeroll.
To see how everyone else is wearing the Pantone color of the year or to show off how you are wearing Emerald, link up with Heidi & Marissa
here! And check back tomorrow to see if I was able to come up with anything African Violet colored. :)
Love the giraffe print shorts! I think heels look good with dressier shorts, but I can't bring myself to wear heels with my regular denim shorts. I just feel ridiculous!
ReplyDeletei agree, Andi - Ana pulled this one off like nobody's business! i, on the other hand, haven't embraced heels with shorts.
DeleteThank you, both! I really do feel awkward when I wear heels with shorts. Weird how we all have hang-ups that we just can't get past, huh?
DeleteThose shorts are to die for and look great with emerald! I'm so jealous that you're wearing shorts at this time of the year! Thanks so much for linking up with us today! :)
ReplyDeletethank you so much for linking up with us (after i got the linky tool working, ack!). you look great in this shade of green and i am really envious of the print on your shorts, i would love that in a skirt. :)
ReplyDeleteWhen I was looking for a photo for my spending recap, all I could find were skirts! So they definitely have this print in a pencil skirt, go check it out!
DeleteGreen is such a beautiful color on you! I love the drapiness of your top and how you paired it with these fun shorts. Heather
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness your shorts! That pattern is amazing! It looks so good with the emerald. Love the wedges too. Thanks so much for dropping by at my blog earlier and leaving such a lovely comment. PS. Your skin doesn't look at all green to me!
ReplyDeleteSiper cute outfit - your giraffe printed shorts are so awesome! I may meed to hunt down a pair of printed shorts for myself this summer.
ReplyDeleteThank you, all! These shorts are going to the top of my rotation list this summer!
