When I first saw the color mint was big for spring I was uneasy. Just coming off of a season where I stuck to grey’s, blacks, and whites I didn’t know how to incorporate it into my wardrobe. Like most things in my life I dove in head first, going in all or nothing. I am not very good at balance so when I have my mind made up I am going to do something, I do it. I decided to not ease the color into my outfit but rather wear it all at once. 

I think this is an easier concept to pull off than people think. When I attempted my version of the “monochromatic” look: I like to add various textures/patterns to give it depth.

Is it possible to do a complete 180 degrees in your choice of clothing? I swear just last week I couldn’t bare the thought of bright summer dresses and floral prints, now it is all I look at online. I bought this dress last year for my boyfriends brothers wedding and as bright as it was, I definitely took a gamble. Lucky for me this dress has turned out to be an incredible purchase.  I have worn it several different ways to entirely different events. 

I think it is really important to have a solid, brightly colored dress in your closet. Pair it with heels or flats, with a baggy top, under a blazer or over a swimsuit. There are so many different ways to pair a piece like this it will for sure become your new “go-to.”
