A Small ComMINTment



There are people who like pastel colors and there are people who don't.  Generally speaking, I easily fall in the latter category, preferring acute color to paleness. But a rising popularity in mint green has emerged and for the first time I am finding myself drawn to a pastel.  There is something not-so-sweet about this color, which is really nice because most light shades, especially the pinks and the purples, tend to come off as looking like saccharin sweetener packets and that is just too much of an innocent toothache for me!  But this green is a demure, feminine yet strong color that is easily wearable on a majority of skin tones. 

Harper's Bazaar ran a little piece on the color, noting the designers who showed it in the Spring runway collections.  You can read that HERE.  But maybe a good way to dip your foot in that green pool is to try  an easy top first, like this Laila Jayde peasant top.  The style is easy and wearable with a variety of bottoms - it would really look stunning with extra-faded or even white jeans or cutoffs.

Shop HERE for a minty good time.
