Creme de Menthe

 Hey Loves! I hope you have had a great weekend. I haven't posted in a while, but it was necessary to step away. It has been a great time of rest for me. Mentally and Physically. I am a single mom, so downtime is not something I have a lot of, but I felt the need to take some extended time away from social media.  It was refreshing and a great digital detox because sometimes all of that can be just too much.

I am beginning to explore some of the activities I had been to busy to do before and rediscovering some things I have always been passionate about. The ensemble I am wearing is a monochromatic palette of taupe with a nice sprinkle of color from my mint green shoes. This outfit kind of makes me think of those Andes creme de menthe bars:-)

I love mixing different shades of the same color

Most people associate me with lots of bold vibrant color, but I am a huge fan of neutral colors too because they are so versatile and look good with everything.

This look is very streamlined, so I thought this gold cuff and a statement ring were a great accent without taking away from the outfit

Do you like neutral colors and monochromatic looks?

Have an amazing day!

White and Minty

Hey Loves! Well, summer is long gone, but not the beautiful memories, popsicles, ice cream cones, amd the vibrant color. Mint green is one of those colors that brings to mind spring and summer, but is is a beautiful color that can be worn all year long. I am wearing white pants and I really don't care about that stupid fashion rule about not wearing white after Labor Day. Who makes these silly rules anyway?

The hidden platform on these shoes makes them very comfortable. I have been able to walk in these without my feet hurting. I often keep a pair of ballet slippers or flats in my purse to put on in case my feet hurt and with certain shoes, I have no shame in swapping them out for a ballerina slipper because walking like your feet hurt is not cute. Right?

I think mint pairs well with many colors, but I love how fresh it looks against white, taupe or tan. It looks awesome with gray too. What are your favorite colors to wear mint with?

On a beautiful day I love to kick back and enjoy the sunshine. Even the worst day is made better by beautiful sunshine, open air and a refreshing drink, or time spent in quiet meditation

 

 

Have an amazing day!

Mint Condition

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all had a great Mothers Day. If you are a mom, I hope you were celebrated and adored on your special day and if you are not a mom, I hope you lavished your mother with more attention and love than she could stand:-)

Today I am wearing a hint of mint green, This is a color I love so much and considering how much of this color I have in my wardrobe, I need to give it more play. I am definitely going to start wearing this color a lot more. Do you like mint green?

Do you love a nice comfy pair of booties? I know I do

 I love the contrast of mint and black

It is always nice to take a moment to relax and reflect in beautiful surroundings. What do you like to do to relax?

Nothing like relaxing and kicking your feet  up:-)

Mint and Taupe

Hi Loves, How was your weekend? I apologize for my lack of  posts. To say I have been busy is an. understatement.  Do you ever feel like there are not enough hours in the day to accomplish all you need  to do? I have learned that worrying does not make things better and stress is even worse. Sometimes you have to find peace in knowing that things work out in the end no matter how crazy it may look. Have you ever thought someone was one way and then they showed you who they really were and you didn't want to believe it? How do you deal with unexpected circumstances?

I still have some great posts coming up, but I have a few mountains to climb. Today I am wearing a color combo that I love. Although mint green is often associated with spring and summer, it is a color I love to wear throughout the year. Taupe and mint is a beautiful color pairing that I never tire of. Do you like this color combo? What colors do you like to wear with mint green?

Mint Green always makes me think of ice cream:-)

So often we trade comfort for shoes that hurt our feet. These booties are so comfy that they actually have the same feeling as wearing flats. Cute and comfortable

I am so in love with this bag that I can't see myself packing it away until spring or summer.  I plan to wear this through fall too.

 

I can't believe summer is gone. I am actually happy to be moving into cooler weather and saying goodbye to those heat waves

Have a wonderful day!
