I'm completely gaga for the color emerald right now! Last week I snapped this picture on the way out the door to a somewhat formal business meeting. I came up with this outfit the old-fashioned way -- I knew I wanted to wear the shirt and necklace together, so I held up different cardigans and skirts until I found a combo that worked. I've always been a huge fan of this Tory Burch ensemble, however, and it reminds me of this look so I thought I'd include it in today's post! Are you loving the emerald green trend right now?
