old navy embellished sweater · old navy button-down {via thredup*}
old navy skinny boyfriend khakis · merona bella flats
thanks to everyone who joined the start of the link-up yesterday for the spring pantone-inspired color challenge marissa & i are co-hosting! i loved seeing how everyone interpreted radiant orchid from purple to pink. today's color, paloma, is a little more straightforward--gray. this is the third time marissa and i have been doing this color challenge, and with each new group of colors pantone releases i become more interested in the meaning behind the names they chose.
i mean, remember turbulence from last fall? we all had fun interpreting that one, and i'll admit that i needed to google the word "paloma" to learn it's spanish for "dove." doves are typically gray, so pantone's color name makes sense to me. i also learned that paloma is the name of a cocktail that mixes tequila, grapefruit soda, and lime juice. i thought it would have been pretty clever to wear a light orange or lime green skirt, but i don't own skirts in any of those colors so i opted for a peach button-down. from there i was halfway toward replicating kate's look featuring this same sweater, so i added black skinnies and fun coral flats.
