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: All Tied Up + A Lotus Blossom Design Giveaway [CLOSED]

Earlier this week, I shared with you all how I have been all over this knotted shirt trend for Spring. And I'm at it again. 

Knotting a simple shirt at your natural waist line helps accentuate your figure or gives the illusion of  curves. If you're like me and have a boyish figure the latter applies. This otherwise plain grey shirt would be lackluster and do absolutely nothing for my already lacking figure if it wasn't for knotting it. 

And look no skin has to be shown! So this knot trend doesn't have to be something garish or scandalous if worn this way. I went out to lunch with my mom and girls in this. If this was risque in the least you can bet I would not be caught out at lunch in it. I've left those days back in Santa Barbara.
