Fashion Quickie - Plant your closet with orchid

Pantone Color Institue named "Radiant Orchid," a captivating, magical, enigmatic purple, color of the year for 2014.


Radiant Orchid is an enchanting harmony of fuchsia, purple and pink undertones.  It flatters every skin tone.  I, for one, cannot wait to introduce Pantone's Color of the Year into my wardrobe.

Radiant Orchid screams bold and daring, yet classy and sophisticated.  It's easy to mix with other colors and can be worn in every season.  Pair with blacks and charcoals; navy and soft grays; even winter whites.  For Spring, mix with neutrals, like tans, khakis and nudes.  Summertime, break out the stark whites or combine with other purple hues.  Radiant Orchid with metallics, yes please!
Expect to see accessories, handbags, belts, scarves, shoes decked in this gorgeous color to pops of color in floral patterns and linings of blazers and jackets.  The fun and vibrant will not hesitate to wear a Radiant Orchid cocktail dress or Radiant Orchid skinny pants with a plaint-white-tee.  Speaking of, expect to see the basic tee energized in Radiant Orchid this Spring.

Will you be wearing Pantone's Color of the Year?  What colors are you most excited to pair with Radiant Orchid?  Sound off in the comment section.
