WIW: Mint + Coral

As of late, I've been pleasantly surprised by Forever 21. Besides yesterday's floral outfit, I also came across this simple mint striped chiffon top. I've been in need of new light Summer tops and well it combined two of my favorite things, mint and stripes, so it just called to me. But don't get me wrong Forever 21 still has lots of crazy stuff that I don't really understand, so I'll just leave that to those crazy teenagers to try. For me, simple pieces like this will do just fine. 

And for a casual dinner out with some family, this chiffon tee was the perfect option paired with coral wedges. This is definitely a color combo that I haven't tired of yet and don't see myself tiring of anytime soon. 

My little model wanted to share her outfit too. I think I've got a future fashion blogger on my hands. She's obviously been watching Mommy. HAHA!

WIW: Double Mint

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. We kept it low key with some pool time and a little birthday dinner to celebrate my cousin's 12th birthday. 

So this weekend, while I was debating on what to wear again as usual. I realized that I had these ill fitting mint skinnies that I just couldn't stand any longer. So I decided that it was time to take them to the chopping block. And Ta-Da! I've got new mint shorts. Thank goodness I don't have to deal with the awkward stretching of the skinnies anymore.

And with my new shorts, I wanted to create a monochromatic mint look because I'm just obsessed with this color. Plus I've had this mirror printed mint ombre blouse sitting in my closet that I hadn't worn in months and have been looking at everyday. So paired with my new mint shorts, I had a whole new look.

Double mint, double the fun!

Outfit Details: Top: H&M [old,] | Bottoms: H&M [old, similar here and here] | Shoes: Steve Madden via Marshalls [same here] | Necklace: Forever 21 [similar here] | Bracelets: Etsy & J. Crew [similar here] | Sunnies: House of Harlow Also, these nude patent strappy Steve Madden sandals are great dupes for the Zara ones and at half the cost. So if you've been eyeing them at Zara but are like me, unwilling to shell out the money for them, check Marshalls. And they're quite comfortable, which can't be said for many strappy heeled sandals. Have a fabulous week!  And if you haven't already entered the Shabby Apple Giveaway, you've still got some time.

What I Wore: Mint To Be

Spring is just around the corner and I'm just loving that the mint trend is still going strong. I've had a bit of an obsession with this color for as long as I can remember. In college, I was the one of the few girls on campus with a mint beach cruiser. It's just such a flattering and uplifting color. This color has even made its way into my girls' closets too.
