Afternoon Delight

Afternoon Delight
guys, i have an obsession: mint. the color, the flavor, whatever. i love it. this cool hue usually pops up for spring as an accent color or, worse, a background color, and it frustrates me. why can't it be the primary focus of an outfit?
well, friends, it can be. and its creamy color makes it all-seasons-friendly and very versatile (especially the cupcake/mint chocolate chip ice cream). 
there's a certain ethereal quality about this subdued hue that makes it appropriate for everyone, plus the color is used to detract redness from the skin (ever see those wacky green concealers and powders? well...) and literally cool you off - great for the first sunburn of spring, maybe?
as usual, i love the blazer - a little cropped and a little sassy, in a sweet, elegant mint that's perfect with cream, pink, blue, black, brown... the list goes on. it's a fabulous neutral, in short. also among my faves are the bag (i believe i've featured it in every color now), the ladylike watch, the cheeky mint nail polish, and, of course, the dior eyeshadow palette (try it for a new spin on the old smoky eye - especially when your allergies kick up or your all-nighter is beginning to show to cool you down!).

enjoy this dreamy confection of a collection and happy thursday!

love,
