Get the Look: Turquoise Temptation

Turquoise always makes me think of the ocean, and with warmer weather (hopefully) on the horizon, it's not surprising that turquoise was named as Pantone's 2010 color of the year. This tropical color was also spotted in on the spring 2010 runway in designers Nanette Lepore, Tibi, and Rachel Roy's shows (photo credit).


Looking to inject a little spring into your wardrobe with this color? Here are some of my affordable turquoise picks, all $150 or less.

Love the fluttery sleeves on this lightweight girlie top, pair it with some boyfriend jeans or baggy skinny jeans like these J Brands (still looking for a budget friendly option) and sandals this spring/summer.

This is one of the more expensive items, but this ladylike dress is something I could picture the adorable Jayma Mays wearing as Emma Pillsbury on Glee.
