Last week's Oscars meant the end to red carpet season and if there's one thing we know for sure {besides the fact that Lupita Nyong'o is a goddess!}, it's that emerald green is a hue for all complexions.

I have to admit, I wasn't always a big fan of green. I don't hate it, but I can count the number of green items in my closet on one hand and still have two fingers left over.

But this season we saw women of every color showing love to the deep green. From Lupita's deep complexion to Sandra Bullock's fair skin, every woman can go green. And I found some affordable pieces to make it easy and offer inspiration.
