I'm excited to see this color everywhere these days. For years, you couldn't find it anywhere. I remember its 1980s heyday, when it was in everything from Southwestern style clothes and jewelry to Miami Vice. Then it just ... disappeared. Completely!
Until a few years ago, when it reappeared with a vengeance. I was jumping for joy. ^_^ Turquoise is one of the most singular and eye-catching colors around, one that lifts my spirits whenever I see it!
Here are some lovely turquoise clothes and accessories that I've seen online:
This stunning Southwestern-style leather-and-grommets belt, at Free People
I adore this dramatic Trina Turk "Mayreau" blouse, available at McAuley's Unique Boutique.
I think this style of blouse looks easy to make or get made, if you can find a good sewing pattern. I'm going to look for one!
This beautiful turquoise straw tote by Straw Studios, at Amazon, reminds me of the colors of the tropical ocean!
This brown-and-turquoise print "shell necklace" halter dress by Milly, at ShopBop, is made of silk chiffon and incredibly pretty! It's too pricey for me, but I find it very inspirational: I think it's another style that would be very simple to make or get made.
I got this adorable Shibori-print Free People skirt for cheap on eBay. It's got subtle silver stitching around the hem! I'd wanted this skirt since last year, when I saw it on the Free People website, but it was too expensive. I never thought it would reappear on eBay, but there it was. Pounce!
It's still available there in different sizes, by the way. :o) The waistband is stretchy material, so it's both comfortable and very adjustable to different body types.
This quirky, pretty Merona bracelet is available at Target. I just love its little shell-and-seacreature charms!
Though turquoise seems more like a "warm-weather" color, I think it can be worn year-round, in everything from formal gowns to ultra-casual clothes. This shade brings back a lot of memories for me, as everything from my Junior High graduation dress to my first sari were turquoise. I wore a turquoise blouse the first time I met my husband ... it's a "lucky" color for me, I think! ;o)
All in all, you just can't go wrong with this joyous and gorgeous shade!

I really love that turquoise blouse with the ruffle.
Me too! I'm going to look for a sewing pattern for a similar blouse and see if I can get it made.
Hi there-I agree, turquoise is gorgeous for summer and looks fabulous with brown too. I love that belt and dress, lovely picks my dear!
Hi Sharon! I agree with you on the turquoise/brown combo. I think it also looks good with beige and white. I have a few turquoise tops so I need to now find a pair of white pants to wear with them!
i love the turquoise one shoulder top. sooo stylish.
Isn't it, though? :o) I loved it too! Such a unique design.
i'm in love w/ that one shouldered blouse and the flouncy skirt.
Yup! I've just got to get a blouse like that made.
And the skirt's still available on eBay last time I looked. :o)
I really like that skirt you bought from Free people- what do you wear it with?
Thanks Christina! I wear it with just a plain white tee with a v-neck, and am looking out for a blue tee that might match one of the different shades of blue on the skirt. And I have a pair of silver sandals that go well with it, since there's silver embroidery along the hemline.
I got it on eBay, and today I also saw the khaki/greens version there. I'm suuuper tempted to get that too, but I have to watch my spending so I can't, alas!
Hey :) Turqouise is my favourite colur too
Isn't it so beautiful? :o) I love wearing turquoise clothes.
