Fresh Mint

 
 
As much as I love wearing bright colors & have been trying to embrace them more, I keep reverting back to neutrals.  This soft palette of creamy ivory, icy mint & warm nude is one of my favorite combinations because it works well in both winter & spring (though would probably look better if I had a slight tan).  I’m also finally breaking out of my makeup rut and have been trying some different smoky eye looks lately.  I’ve included below the product I used if you’re interested in recreating for yourself & let me know in the comments if a tutorial would be helpful!

 

 
What I’m wearing:
Forever 21 sweater (similar here or here), c/o Warehouse coat (similar), H&M pants (similar here or here), Mossimo pumps (here), Forever 21 bag (here), c/o Lilac Bijoux necklace (here), Forever 21 ring (here), Eyes: Revlon ColorStay Smoky Shadow Stick Torch, Lips: L’Oreal Colour Riche Fairest Nude

    Gahh I'm pretty sure I have that sweater in cobalt blue and it's incredible! I wish I bought the cream/ivory one now. Thanks for linking to that Gap sweater. For once Gap has a sweater with good reviews this year.. sigh.

    I love the combination. I have a pair of mint pants that I have yet to wear because I think they're so "much", but I love how you incorporated with a neutral palette.

    Would love a tutorial on the smoky eyes. So many tutorials are for blacks and greys – but with my fair skin, I think the browns you used would be much more flattering. It looks amazing on you!

    JulieK,

    Yes, I really love the look of tall boots & they were on my list to buy last fall…but I had the hardest time locating a style that fit through the calves for me – all of them were too big! If you know of some that run slimmer through the calf, I'm open to suggestions, because I really would love to own a pair!! 🙂
