9 to 5 Style - Ultra Violet

Welcome to 9 to 5 Style! The third  Monday of every month Jennie of A Pocketful of Polka Dots and I will showcase a theme featuring our individual takes on a professional look. Our aim is to inspire and show professional style does not have to mean boring and without personality. We hope you enjoy our 9 to 5 Style!

This month I chose the Pantone Color of the Year Ultra Violet as our theme. I won't say it's my absolute favorite color, as I can take it or leave it, but I thought you might like to see some ways to wear it in your work wear as the color of the year always seems to receive lots of hype. 

Greenery- Saturday Shopping

Pantone's color of the year is greenery, and I'm all for it.  Greenery is more of a yellow- green, but I'm all for any shade of green. Emerald used to be one of my favorite colors. I had a pageant gown in emerald in eighth and ninth grade. Funny thing is, I don't really have a lot of it in my closet at the present time. Hmmm... maybe I should remedy that.

Pantone's color of the year- tangerine tango. I didn't have to shop any further than my closet for it. I picked up this skirt last year. I have lots of outfits planned with it for the summer. This is just the beginning.
