Every month I'm going to talk about the latest color trend.  Last month was the beautiful color watermelon which has been everywhere this summer and is fresh and fun.  This month's color is the color Jade.  I LOVE this color! This blue-tinged hue looks gorgeous against every skin tone so no need to worry about whether this shade will work for you.  It's also great because you can wear it year round as it can work well in the cooler months as well as for summer.

Not sure whether you can pull off a Jade colored outfit?  No problem, just add an accessory like a  purse or shoe, or a pop of jade color in jewelry.

Why I love it.....Vibrant and fresh, this color makes the perfect transition between spring's flora-inspired pastels and fall's more opulent, jewel-like shades.

How to wear it.....In her current collection, designer Maria Cornejo combined a jade dress with dark sandals, but she also likes jade with brights, like cobalt. This color also plays well with cool neutrals such as navy and chalk.  Earthy eggplant is another great match.  But truly daring dressers might try jade with bluish-green teal for that sophisticated "clash" effect.  So don't be afraid ladies, be adventurous when putting your jade outfit together and rock this look!
