green dress

St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner, and that means it's time to put lots of green on! We love this holiday of course because it's a perfect excuse to wear a cute dress. When it comes to showing some St. Paddy's Day pride, your look doesn't have to be head-to-toe green, but with Emerald Green being the 2013 Color of the Year, could you ask for a better time to show off your on-trend style? We didn't think so. Nothing says St. Patrick's Day better than a Little Green Dress, so check out our favorites for the holiday below!

Our favorite dress for St. Patrick's day is Sherri Hill style 21131 in lime green. The neon green color is so perfect for standing out in the sea of green that you're bound to be in on this day, and the bandage fabric is super figure flattering. Best of all, since neon is so on-trend right now, it's the perfect dress to wear time and time again in the spring and summer months.

If neon isn't your thing and you'd rather go with a darker green dress, La Femme style 15907 is a great option.  It's a net pleated short dress with a V shaped front and back. The toned-down green color makes it easy to wear for any other event you may have once St. Patrick's Day has come and gone.

Want to rock the Color of the Year, Emerald Green? Sparkle style 71192 is not only good for that, but also for getting two looks in one! This fun and flirty hi-lo cocktail dress features a strapless neckline, all over sequin body and a removable short tulle over-skirt with a satin bow at the waist. What a perfect way to not only have a dress for St. Paddy's Day, but to rock the on-trend look at Prom, too!

Hopefully this St. Patrick's Day will be a warm one, but if it's cold, wearing black stockings with your dress is a great way to finish off the look and stay a little warmer for the day.

The 55th Annual Grammy Awards were held at the Staples Center on Sunday, February 10th, and the show was amazing! All of the acts were great, but we were so blown away by Taylor Swift's ode to Alice in Wonderland opening number. Of course, our eyes were glued to the red carpet, though, watching all of the ladies' fashionable outfits! Check out our favorite four looks below:

We loved Carrie Underwood's black embellished mermaid gown. It was such a classy look, and so perfect for prom! Our favorite number to get a similar look is Night Moves style 6652. It's a sexy, mermaid shaped gown with a strapless, sheer bodice. Crystal and beaded lace appliques accent the gown throughout that give it a similar embellished look to Carrie's gown.

Alicia Keys rocked the cut-out look in such a classy way! Especially after Grammy attenders were told that their outfits must be more modest this year, Alicia still looked sexy and showed some skin in style. For a similar look, we love Dave & Johnny style 8723. It's a long black matte jersey dress with side cut outs and a beaded bust and straps.

Green has been a very popular color this year ever since Pantone announced that Emerald Green is the 2013 Color of the Year. So, even though it wasn't the official Emerald Green, we loved that Katy Perry rocked a sexy mint green gown at the Grammy's. To get a similar look, check out Flirt style PF4150. Elegance and glamour definitely steal the show in this sexy ball gown that features beautiful cascading jewels. It has a caught-up skirt with a high front slit and corset back closure that adds to the drama.

Beyonce Knowles stole the red carpet rocking a black and white jumpsuit, rather than the usual gown. She looked absolutely stunning and classic, as it hugged every curve of her body. Jumpsuits are definitely going to be one of the new trends this prom season, so we were amazed to see Beyonce rocking the look! One of our favorite prom jumpsuits that remind us of Beyonce's is Claudine for Alyce style 2232. We love it because while you can be different by rocking a jumpsuit, you can still get the classic gown look with the long overskirt that comes with it.

While our store's always decked out in pink, we're also a huge fan of the color green here at Rissy Roo's because the local high school's color in the town our store's in (we're right behind the high school!) is green. So, we were of course excited when Pantone named emerald green their color of the year for 2013! A color that's abundant in nature, the lush, vibrant hue is said to instil balance and harmony.

It's the end of the first month of the new year, but the color is already everywhere! Celebrities like Zoe Saldana and Alicia Keys wore the color, and it will undoubtedly be seeing many more trips down the red carpet, so keep a look-out. It's a great color to wear on anything from your nails to a winter jacket, so make sure to give it a go in your outfits. As a rule of thumb, emerald green and black always work together, but you can also pair it with white and other shades of green.

With prom right around the corner, it's also a perfect color to choose for your dress. Wearing this exuberant color is without a doubt a great way to stand out from the crowd, and show off your keen fashion sense, too! Since we're so excited about this year's go-to color, we picked out or favorite 3 emerald green prom dresses - check them out below!

1. Sherri Hill style 1456 - An asymmetrical one shoulder chiffon evening gown with empire waistline and rhinestone embellished trim.

2. Panoply style 14573 - A strapless sweetheart mermaid evening gown with a low torso sequin bodice, chunky A.B. rhinestone bust trim and a full tulle mermaid skirt with a side front slit.

3. Scala style P4043 - An elegant and simple beaded and sequined dress with an asymmetrical neckline.
