Pantone Fall 2013: Deep Lichen Green by theclosetbychristie featuring yellow shoes

The color green is reminiscent of nature; grass, trees, leaves. When I see an olive or sage green specifically, it makes me feel relaxed and very zen. The truth is, I’m not alone in this! Green is known to be mentally calming. That’s why I’m thrilled to announce the ninth of the ten colors featured on Pantone’s Fall 2013 Color Report is… deep lichen green!

In the above set, I featured a look which incorporates deep lichen green. I love this color because it really adds a peaceful, bohemian vibe to the look. For this look, I featured a deep lichen green European Culture top-pleated bow dress paired with a light grey classic blazer. I love this look because of the calming nature-inspired color palette. The muted tones make it lovely for Fall! The color of the dress makes it boho-chic, while the detailing- the pleats and bow- gives it a really feminine look. I accessorized with a light grey Chloe gold-accented crossbody and J.Crew ruffled daisy sandals. Both of these further accentuate the femininity of this look. For jewelry, I chose LC Lauren Conrad flower and pearl cluster earrings and a leather linked bracelet.
