May 9th Vintage Fashion Parade: The Color of The Year: Honeysuckle!

[The Vintage Merchant]

As the Pantone site says about honeysuckle, its 2011 color of the year:

"Courageous. Confident. Vital. A brave new color, for a brave new world…"

Honeysuckle is indeed a vibrant, gorgeous color, but it has been around before. Why not show off this bold and beautiful pink in vintage style?

 

[The Vintage Merchant]

here's a cute maxi dress from The Vintage Merchant in an array of pinks, including honeysuckle...
