Greenery – The Color of the Year!

I was happy to hear that Pantone’s color of the year this year is GREENERY, a spring green!  I spent 2016 pouting over Pantone’s picks of Rose Quartz and Serenity last year. Not that they aren’t lovely shades, but I can’t wear either of them very well.  Green, I can wear!  So it surprised me when I shopped my closet for this post and found so little green there. I did find this cozy grandpa sweater and these fabulous Kendra Scott earrings though!

Sidenote on grandpa sweaters: you really need to pair them with something kinda cool, like these wild boots, or the sweater will look pretty frumpy.  Cozy as heck!  But shapeless.

I love wearing my hair back with these Kendra Scott earrings, because the light shines through them and really makes the color pop.

Well, now that greenery is the color of the year, I guess I better start shopping. Oh darn!  (GRIN!) I’ve added my GREENERY lust list!

I also promised my readers more beauty tips and reviews this year. Keeping with the theme, I’m starting out with my green make up: Clinique Quickener for Eyes in Intense Ivy and Clinique Lid Pop in Willow Pop.

I worked as a makeup artist for Clinique through my college years and I’ll forever be a fan.  Clinique always has high quality for a good value.  That said, am I the only dinosaur who prefers old school kohl pencil to these twist wands?  The color is fab, but I just can’t get used to using it.  Once it’s on, it looks good though! The eye shadow is super pretty, just enough shine, and you can layer the color so it can be very soft or you can give it more pop.

MY GREEN LUST LIST

So Dolls, what do you think of the color of the year?  Do you have much green?  Will you be adding it to your wardrobe?

Hey, maybe it will be good mojo and we’ll all get more of the other green this year too!!
