Recently, I was at Walgreens buying tape & wrapping paper. I saw this Marie Claire January 2013 cover with Lea Michele on it & I couldn't stop staring at it. I loved the colors.

I loved them so much that I made this mini color inspiration board & virtually shopped for pieces that would make up an outfit with these unique color combos. What do you think? Would you wear apple red, mint green, gold, taupe & black together?

A Minty Momento

 

I clean out and reorganized my shoe closet this weekend. And by shoe closet I'm referring to the sea of shoes piled at the bottom of my closet. I parted ways with some that had seen better days, but these mint beauties are here to stay.  I bought these BCBG kitten sling back kitten heels ten years a long time ago. When I bought them they reminded me of mint chocolate chip ice cream - you know the good kind from the 80s full of green food coloring - and they still do.  Inspired by my rediscovering these sweet feet treats I paired them with a shrunken blazer from anthro (also old) , a pale blue light weigh sweater I scored on haute look and my favorite GAP boyfriend jeans.  I also firmly believe that turquoise goes with everything so I paired this look up with a pair of turquoise earrings.

Do your clothes ever remind you of food?
