I know Pantone has announced its colours for 2017, but I think I’ll stick to old favourites instead — including 2016’s blush pink. The print of this Club Monaco mixes it with a really lovely shade of blue, so it’s doubly appealing. I added a bunch of other blues to the mix, including navy (blazer), and somehow it all worked. Well, it certainly did me more favours than Greenery ever will. Colour me not convinced, Pantone.
What you can’t see in these photos are the other parts of my outfit … fleece-lined leggings, woolly knee-high socks, North Face quilted puffy boots, mittens, blanket scarf, and winter coat. Yup, the real Alberta winter has arrived, with -30 Celsius temperatures to remind us of what’s what. Thankfully, there has been little snow so far, which is the only thing keeping me from chucking everything and jumping on the first plane bound for the Mayan Riviera.
I don’t tend to see the Pantone colours, I guess it’s an American thing but I’ll look it up. I like green but greenery sounds a bit….. damp woods!
The swatches I’ve seen look a bit pea soup green-ish to me, to be honest. I’m probably making it sound worse than it is, but my immediate and visceral reaction was “NO”.
