Spruce It Up

Right about now I am thinking emerald.

Emerald is a wonderful colour at any time of the year but it does seem perfect to add a touch now. For those of us on a silver hair journey, emerald is another fabulous colour to add to our repertoire. As much as I love the all-winter white, the array of greys, and the classic black, the emerald makes a refreshing change.


Mixing emerald pieces, whether casual or more formal, with black is how I like to wear them.

Emerald sweater with black trousers, all black with a pair of green velvet slippers or a deep emerald coloured sweater dress with black accessories. Even all white or all black with a pair of drop earrings in shades of green can set an outfit apart.


Too much? A pair of pyjamas to put us in a festive mood.


The trick is to add a dash, a little like the tabasco, for subtlety rather than an overwhelming experience. We don’t want to look like festive elves as cute as they are. xv
