Double the Trouble, Triple the Fun Doublemint
You've been hearing all about the color of the year being emerald green, haven't ya? And then, seeing it pop up everywhere on cue, like some pop culture fulfilling prophecy. I'll admit, I love the color emerald, but it never has felt like "me." Perhaps I'm too much of ruby girl. But Atonement, and the lovely Keira Knightly rocking the frock out of that emerald green gown, I've softened a bit towards this lush, precious hue. And, when I saw this green- as-spring vintage dress on the racks of Beats and Bohos, for the first time, the color emerald felt like me.
All of two of me, in fact.

| Double the Trouble: Emerald Green, Front + Back |
I kept the dressing simple. To show off the stunning jewel-toned color, I paired it with that glorious beast-of-burden neutral, camel. These shoes, which you'll see in more detail in an upcoming outfit post, are gold glitter tipped and were on sale, a motherlode of a deal for under $25. Go team!
I'm doubling my pleasure in joining Jill and Adrienne for their monthly HOW I WEAR MY series, and this month is GREEN. Do pay them a visit and check out the other lovely green goddesses! And you'll want to double back and see the gals over at Not Dead Yet Style where I'll be joining Patti and pals for Visible Monday.

Beautiful, classic dress that looks made for you! I know you kept it simple for a reason, but I keep thinking of all the cool styling you can do with it - hats, scarves, brooches, petticoats. I hope we see it again!
That is a cute dress and shoes. Love the look!
The cut of that dress is perfect for your shape. You look like a '40's movie star. Can I have your autograph? ;-)

You are so clever Bella. I love the emerald dress.
Gorgeous dress in a fabulous colour; you look great!
And those shoes? They're stoatir! (Scots slang for crazy beautiful.)
The colour and shape of the dress looks gorgeous on you and you've paired them with the perfect, non-competing but still fabulous shoes.
I have an emerald green chinese embroidered long coat that I've been trying to figure out how to style - perhaps I may join your emerald ranks!
The dress looks great on you. That is a pretty shade of green. I don't have much green clothing items either, but will keep my eyes open for something this season. Love the shoes too!
What a beautifully elegant dress, love the colour on you, and that you have rocked it up a bit with the shoes! xxx

Girrrrrrl, you look so good in this dress. I love emerald. Such a rich gorgeous color. This dress is so flattering on you and I love those shoes. Where did you get them?

Yay, you're a Gemini too! (And I'm a twin on top of that). Your emerald green vintage frock is divine, absolutely stunning. I've really been into all shades of green lately - not sure if the whole colour of the year thing set it off (think it was the Mugler jacket), but who cares? It's fun to discover or rediscover a colour that you thought was lost to you. Funny how our ideas about certain colours change over time. Xoxo
Awesome color, awesome style--that dress is YOU!! And those shoes look cool!!!
love the dress, it's pretty much perfect - you should wear more emerald! x
Oh, I love the drape and fit of a vintage dress. A++ as usual, Bella! As for green, it was one of those my Mama thought I ought to wear as a red head, so it's always been part of my wardrobe. Definitely a winner on you!
Gotta tell ya, Bella ... twice is not enough for that AMAZING dress. ON YOU... you do understand that that it is a great dress, but brilliant on you, don't you? Only word for the shoes is bitchin! So happy you showed this to us.

Green suits perfectly the two of you! Fun pics!!!
