Ready or not, the new year is nearly here, and with the flipping of the calendar, comes a brand-new Color of the Year from our friends at Pantone. This year’s pick? Radiant Orchid, a variety of purple that hums with pink and grey undertones. While purple’s never topped my list of favorite colors, Radiant Orchid doesn’t bug me. So much so that just for fun, I pulled together collection of vintage prettiness from Etsy in 2014’s banner hue.
TOP: 1980s Ruffle Party Dress ($20), Lucite Heart Vase ($10), 1960s Belted Coat Dress ($64)
MIDDLE: 1940s Tap Pants ($35.15), Knitted Lace Curtain Panels ($25)
BOTTOM: Painting Idaho’s Snake River ($7)
Do you have feelings re: Radiant Orchid? Can you picture it in your rooms, wardrobes or makeups bags this year?

Super cool! I’ll keep my eyes out for it. :-)
Yes! Great round-up! I’ve heard many mixed reviews on this color, but done right, it can be so good. :)
It’s kind of a tricky one, eh? I saw it paired with peach and really dug that.
