How to wear the Pantone colors of the season: Mykonos Blue and Turbulence Grey

I always get a little fashion geeky about Pantone's colors of the year, and I'm so glad to see that the Pantone colors of Fall 2013 are eminently wearable. Or, most of them are. Two of my favorites, which also go great together, are the soothing Mykonos Blue, and Turbulence Grey, which is described as a dark, mercurial grey, and a really nice neutral alternative to black.

Designer Kelly Wearstler's concept drawing here is a gorgeous example of them together, and here I've rounded up some other favorite pieces to help you put them to work. -Liz

 

1. Mykonos Blue Knit Dress ($47.99, Modcloth); 2. Mykonos Blue Resin bracelet ($30.54, Yaz Jewelry) 3. Mini K2Pop Ring by Karen Ko ($115)/ 4. Mykonos Blue leather satchel (Donna Bella Italian Leather Handbags via IndieGogo)

Dries Van Noten Indian Print Scarf ($795, Barney's) ($795) 

Dance Instead of Walking Blue Oxford Heel ($37.99, Modcloth)

 

 

1. Grey Sleeveless Dress ($34.95, H&M); 2. Smoky Teardrop Earrings ($32, Bauble Bar); 3. Turbulence Grey Upcycled Infinity Scarf ($67, Lovely Squid); 4.Vintage Grey Suitcase Set ($42.50, The White Pepper); 5. Grey Pintuck Purse ($45, Whitney Jude); 6. Citizens of Humanity Slim Grey Bootcut Jeans ($218, Anthropologie); 7. Front Page Photo Jacket at Modcloth ($89.99, Modcloth) 

The great thing is how gorgeous they look together. Isn't that dark, smoky grey a nice alternative to black? Meanwhile, the blue gives just the right pop of color without feeling too summery. Happy dressing!
