Pantone Fall 2013: Acai by theclosetbychristie featuring a zipper skirt
One of my absolute favorite things about fashion is color! Believe it or not, a little detail like color can make a huge difference with regards to sales, emotions, aesthetics, etc. We use fashion as a way to communicate ourselves to the world and color plays a huge role in that. If you choose the right color, it can help you land that dream job or make you feel great inside and out. The world of fashion revolves around color! Prior to the design and production phase for the next season, Pantone releases their color report. This is a forecast, or rather an announcement, of the "in" colors for the next season. Designers everywhere use these colors for their new lines. The first of the ten colors on Pantone's Fall 2013 Color Report is... acai!
In the above set, I featured a look which incorporates the color acai. This color is so beautiful and versatile. The deepness of the purple makes it even work as a neutral! The inspiration behind this unique color is the dark side of nature; ancient lava and oil on water. For the look, I chose a black and white Forever New printed skirt paired with an acai H&M satin bow top and an acai velvet blazer. I love this look because of the color. The purple is so rich and beautiful. It looks great with the black and white! I accessorized with black Christian Louboutin bow flats and an acai Givenchy handbag. For jewelry, I chose white and gold Kate Spade flower stud earrings and a black and gold-tone Kate Spade idiom bangle.
Do you love the color acai? How would you style it?
