Spring Essential: Mint
Hello and happy Monday! Today I am focusing on another spring essential: mint. There is no doubt that mint is one of the most popular spring colors this year - I have been seeing mint pieces merchandised in pretty much every store window as well as online. I must admit that I am a fan of mint because it looks good on any skin tone - even my super pale Pacific Northwest shade. ;) Mint pairs well with neutral tones and other pastels, and for today's outfit I paired mint denim crops from Banana Republic with a colorblocked sweater from the Limited for a soft spring look.
Sweater: "Colorblock Cardigan" in yellow, $49.90 at the Limited (40% off today with promo code "SPRING") here
Denim: "Pastel Skinny Ankle Jean" in misty blue (available in petite and tall!), $89.50 Banana Republic here
Tank: Banana Republic Factory, similar "Seamless Cami" in cocoon, $25 at Banana Republic here
