What A Week!

Oh my goodness!  I can't believe it's been over a week since I posted.  Last week was the busiest week at work that we have EVER had.  We did over a normal months worth of work in less than a week.  It was intense.  Lucky me though, I have a great team and we got through it.  However, it didn't leave much time or energy for blogging or really anything but work and sleep.  Eating even got moved down the list.  But now life can get back to normal.

Now that it is past Memorial Day, fashion law states that we can start wearing white.  I love white in the summer.  I love white pants, dresses, etc.  However, I don't really rock white often since I a) work in a warehouse, and b) have 3 dogs.  That's just a recipe for disaster on both accounts.  But I'm seeing a lot of white and mint, or turquoise color combinations for this spring/summer and I am really loving the pair.  I think they are very fresh, clean, feminine, and modern.  I have been incorporating mint into my wardrobe and love what I am coming up with.  I will definitely be adding more mint and white to my summer wardrobe.

Look at these fun examples I've found online:


This picture I found on Pinterest and love it.  The link takes me to a dead eBay link but it's a good example of what I'm talking about.


Another Pinterest find.  I love this one for a summer party or BBQ.  Just don't spill on yourself like a certainly would wearing this top.  I'm not sure where to get these pieces but I love the shorts.  I would get them if I knew where to buy them.  Super cute!  I love the texture.

So what are my new mint wardrobe pieces?

I got this Harper blouse from Alloy.  I wasn't sure about it or if I could pull it off but I love it.  I do wear it with a statement piece necklace and I do think it needs a little extra to really make it pop.  Next time I wear it I will take picture to share with you.  I didn't think about it last week when I was wearing it.

I got this Cloe dress from Alloy as well.  I wore it last night for date night with the hubs.  I wore it with a big pearl necklace and some floral flats.  I should've taken a picture of that as well but also didn't think about that.  I will do better in the future.

I also got some mint skinny jeans.  They haven't come yet and I'm pretty nervous about wearing a colored jean.  I love colored pants on other people but am not sure if I am comfortable wearing them.  I'm not sure why but I'm a little self conscious about that but I'm excited to give it a try.

Oh!  It's June, which means it's semi-annual sale time!  Nordstrom has already alerted me that their sale for women and children is on now.  Victoria's Secret is having theirs (that is very dangerous news, I can easily drop a few hundred dollars at that one).  I haven't been to the mall for a bit but I am sure several stores have theirs on now too.  I would bet that Express has theirs on.

Anyway, that's all for now!  I'll do better posting this week :)
