Capsule wardrobes inspired by art and nature
January 18, 2013 This isn't exactly as bright as I think "Lemon Zest" is supposed to be, but I thought that this shade of yellow was particularly well-suited to a conservative environment. It also might be a bit kinder to some complexions...

Someone asked "Why all the focus on Pantone colors?"
Well, for no reason that I understand, Pantone is the organization making color "recommendations" twice a year which seem to be heeded by a wide variety of businesses. Housewares, bedding, clothing - all sorts of things will be manufactured in these colors in the next 2 years.
From our perspective, if one of these colors is a favorite, this is the time to start looking for it to appear in stores!
If you are interested in seeing more, you can find the latest Pantone Color Planner and other documents in the Planning Documents section of the website.

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.
