Green With Envy
Haven’t you heard? This is green’s big year. Those in the know say that emerald is the color of the year, while mint is going to be a big deal for summer. It is true- we are seeing green everywhere, from pops of spring and kelly in home decor to neon and lime in accessories, and not to mention all of those lush and lovely shades in between. Jump on the trend with some great new pieces that will wear well and stay stylish long after green’s moment in the spotlight is over.
