Pantone Spring 2017 - Niagara
It is hard to believe that it is May already, especially since the weather has been so cold and rainy. When I looked at the forecast for the next few days, at least the temps are supposed to get up into the sixties. Whoo, hoo. It's a heat wave!
Today we are looking at a pretty blue color that the Pantone color gurus labeled Niagara.
“Niagara is a classic denim-like blue that speaks to our desire for ease and relaxation.”
For this outfit, I decided to stick with the denim theme since the blue truly is denim-like. I chose my lighter blue chambray shirt from Christopher and Banks. (Similar here.) I then topped that with my denim vest from Christopher and Banks. (Similar here. This one has some embroidery instead of rhinestones, which is very trendy right now.) For pants I pulled out my plaid Gloria Vanderbilt crop pants.
What drew me to this vest was the bling. I'm a bling sort of girl. Can we ever be too old for bling? Never!
For a bag I chose my Niagara colored clutch. It goes perfectly with the denim and the texturing adds a different interest to the outfit.
Since the pants have some brown in them, I went for brown accessories, both my ankle boots and my jewelry, to tie the look together.
Niagara is a color everyone can wear. It's not too dark and not too light. It can be accessorized in many different ways and comes in a variety of pieces from tops and vests, to pants and dresses. What do you think of this medium blue color? I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments section below. Or leave me a comment on my Facebook page or on Instagram.
