Capsule Wardrobe 2013 accent: Dusk Blue, casual

Pantone, bless their silly hearts, actually gave us TEN “new” colors for Spring and Summer 2013.  Now we, as wise humans, understand that you can’t invent a color, but we also appreciate that the Pantone nod of approval means that these colors will be available in stores.  So if we’re considering a new accent color for 2013, we are going to have choices…Dusk blue is pretty, versatile, flattering to most of us, and easy to mix with your current core wardrobe.

Sweater – Topshop, cardigan – J. Crew, silk tee- Steffen Schraut,
earrings – Alexis Bittar

    I am hunting for the perfect denim chambray shirt…will check out JCrew.
    I got a lovely sparkly JCrew necklace for Christmas and I'd like to pair it with denim…

    Hope you had a wonderful Christmas holiday Janice.

    Next up: I'd love to see a combination of poppy and nectarine. Thinking how pretty these 2 would go with the linen neutral!
    Oh the possibilities!
    Hugs,
    Renee

    Can't wait to see the wonderful combinations you will dream up for us. A few years ago, I bought an EF linen knit sweater in 'tender shoot' (who dreams up these silly names???), and I will be for once au courant. Happy New Year, Janice, and many thanks.

    Looking forward to the Tender Shoots & Nectarine entries, as they are the shades best matched to my colouring.

    Good point. Use the trends to pick up our colours when they are plentiful.
