When I learned that the Pantone color of the year 2017 is going to be green, I choked. The green that you wear on St. Patty’s Day? But no, I can’t! I don’t look good in green, and I don’t like how I look in green. But let’s face it, it’s color of the YEAR. So it will hang around for some time. I might as well find one way or another to wear it right? So here is how to wear the color of the year.
Let me tell you the trick. The exact color of the year is Greenery, but don’t wear that if you’re not into it. Instead, pick a different shade of green, something more flattering. Like this dress, it is no where near Greenery pantone color. Besides the muted green tone is such a great transitional color for this season. Pair this shade of green with other earthy tones, like mustard yellow, dark red, burnt orange, brown, etc. And of course any neutrals, black and white would go great. I picked this dress also because it’s a shift dress, easy to style for most body shapes.
I’d like to also show you these jewelry pieces I’m wearing here. The new line just launched called Sugarfix and is now available at Target. It’s a collaboration between Target and Bauble Bar, but at such an amazing price point. No piece is more than $30. Doesn’t that just make trips to Target 100 times better, not that Target wasn’t amazing before?

I must say I’m not at all sad for this being the color of the year as I love it! I think I could pull it off just as gracefully as you did with this beautiful floral dress (and that coat is just wonderful too!). A huge fan of the new trend already!

I actually never wear anything that says trendy. I know, that look great in red and continuelsy wear red or blue. Green hue can be stylish as well, depends what kind of hue do you pick or what type of fabric you pick. Green is actually can look luxurious, bold and elegant. This dress looks amazing on you, I am pretty sure if you would wear pastel green or khaki, it would look great on you!

I absolutely adore this shade of green on you and love the sugar fix line at Target! You look like a living doll in this complete ensemble!
This shade of green (do you call that olive green?) is so classy on you Lily! i’ve bought a couple of skirts in the exact same shade too & can’t wait to take outfit shots in them when I’m free. And I think your statement necklace and coat add a glam touch to the outfit too 🙂
Hey Sweet Lily:)
Ohh You Look Amazing In Olive Green! Really, I didn’t knew that this year will be the Pantone one, but I love this color:) Trust me, It is perfect on you, Especially with the Sweet Flower Details and your Hair just perfect with this Look:) The Necklace is so Sweet too:)
Happy Monday

I had to google color of the year to look up this year’s color LOL. I had no idea what it was until I read this. And I think I prefer the shade you are wearing too. BTW your shoes are really cute – LOVE!

Girl – you are rocking the color of the year!!!! I didn’t think I could pull it off but you’re making me think otherwise now! 😉
I love the greenery concept. Love nature and its colors. This dress looks really good on you. Especially the color. And I love the way you combined with the jacket! Tres chic ❤️? xoxo Elif
Aww, girl, this colour suits you perfectly. I love this dusty green, it’s way more wearable than the Paddy’s green. I don’t like the green and green-like colours either, but as you said, we have to deal with it for quite a while, so let’s do it on style. I’d probably go for dark bottle green, this is the only one I could manage easily.

What a beautiful outfit! I actually love this color and wear it all the time however, I can totally see how it can not be everyones cup of tea! You styled this so beautifully and I really adore your dress in general! Also, I didn’t know that about the Target and Bauble Bar Collab! How amazing and what great price points!

I too am not a green color fan but this deep forest mossy green is beautiful! I love the embroidery details on your dress and how you styled it with the coat. Those Sugarfix Target jewelries turned out to be so good!! Who knew its from Target, simply beautiful!!
I had no idea that’s the color of the year but it looks amazing! This floral dress is so adorable and I love how you styled it!
While I don’t have that many green pieces in my wardrobe I do need to give this Panthone shade a try. Mostly because my eyes are green and I feel that they look even greener when I’m wearing green!
In other words thank you for the color inspo! I’ll definitely give this shade a try!
I love this and all the details. Loving the bells sleeves, the shoes, and the purse. It’s rare to see olive green dresses with a flower print, but you pulled this off so well.

I like your dress darling and how you say it, greenery but not entirely, because it has a colorful floral patterns, so stands out a bit of color.
Honestly even I put this color, I prefer to wear when it is summer and already got a bit of color.
The Sugarfix earings looking so stunning on you.

Omg I am obsessing over this outfit. I love the bells sleeves, the shoes, and love the purse! It’s pretty rare to see an army green dress with flowers, but you pulled it off well.
