Swell Caroline Loves Emerald, The Color of the Year!

When Pantone recently announced that the color of the year for 2013 would be emerald, we were so excited. Ever since growing up watching Dorothy making her way to the Emerald City as a kid, it's been one of our absolute favorite shades. There is something about it that's truly timeless, and always adds a touch of glamour- especially in accessory.

We've gathered a collection of some of our favorite Swell Caroline pieces in Emerald, so you can start out 2013 in style.
