When Opposites Attract

Posted in What I Wear by

There is a time and a place for matchy-matchy. This is not it. Sometimes there is nothing wrong with a little tulle with your leather, a little converse with your dress, or a little high heel with your deconstructed denim.

In Mint Condition

Posted in What I Wear by

I have always loved the taste of mint. It tingles on the tongue and invigorates the senses, creating a fresh feeling all over. Whether you are wearing it or eating it, mint’s cool, crisp vibes are like a fresh breeze on a hot summer day. Perhaps this is why I have fallen in love with adding mints and light blues to my wardrobe when the heat starts to rise. Use mint as a pick-me-up on days when you crave that fresh, cool feeling. Here are some ways to incorporate the color into your wardrobe.

Pair mint accessories with an all neutral palette. Here I chose whites and creams as my base with mint and light blue accents.

If your summer uniform consists of cutoff denim shorts and a white shirt, liven up your look by opting for mint colored denim.

If you describe your style as flirty and girly, or sweet and feminine, opt for a full skirt paired with a mint top.

Want to ditch your black and white work wear but not sure how to incorporate color and still look professional? Mint is bright enough to spice up your black and white, but won’t seem too bold for the office.

Elongate your lines by pairing mint heels with a mint pencil skirt. By keeping the color going all the way down to your feet, you will avoid cutting up your leg line.
