The eighth of ten colors featured on Pantone’s Fall 2013 Color Report is… vivacious! But that’s an adjective, right? Well yes, that’s true- the word vivacious is defined as “attractively lively and animated” (Google Dictionary). Sometimes a color becomes more than just a color… it can portray emotion. Vivacious perfectly describes this hue of magenta because it’s just that- bright and full of life! Wear this color and tell the world- “I’m feeling cheerful, today!”

In the above set, I featured a look which incorporates the color vivacious. I love this color because although it’s bright and fun, it’s also so feminine. For the look, I featured a black Victoria Beckham bow blouse paired with a heather grey J.Crew wool pencil skirt and a vivacious classic tailored blazer. I love this look because the neutral color palette gives the color vivacious a chance to take center stage. It adds a real color pop! I accessorized with a vivacious Ralph Lauren handbag and black Christian Louboutin bow flats. I chose Kate Spade jewelry because I consider her style to be the essence of fun- mini-bow stud earrings and idiom bangle.

Do you love vivacious? How would you style it?
