Game Changer: Mint & a Moto Jacket

Having a sister with great style means I can raid her closet and find some fantastic pieces. Ailyn's pretty mint number was perfect for my best friend's rehearsal dinner. You already saw us rock the wedding, but I wanted to pump up the volume with some hot pink and a faux leather jacket for the rehearsal dinner.


I love how a simple jacket can change an entire look. What's your "game-changer" piece?

Are you sick of this dress yet?  Clearly, I can't seem to stop wearing it. :) This time around, I've brightened up my color palette with another fun color. The colors in this look actually remind me of one of my favorite outfits from months past: check it out here.

Are you a pinterest fanatic?  I think it's fun, and my favorite boards usually feature life hacks and wedding photography.  Of course, I get the occasional style inspiration; in particular, this pin encouraged me to try out today's look.  If you need an injection of color in your wardrobe, then look no further than the Economy of Style for ideas!

Minty (Re)fresh

When it comes to clothing, I think it's important to have a versatile and re-mixable wardrobe with pieces that are work for all aspects and events in your life.

I especially love this dress because it pairs seamlessly with a denim jacket and t-strap sandals, but still wears easily with glam heels and a statement necklace.

Minty Fresh

How do you feel about the minty green pastels popping up all over now?

Personally, I'm a big fan.  It's a little bit fresher and definitely more fun than the traditional spring baby pinks and purples.  Aili's rocking the trend with her minty green colorpop jeans from Gap Kids.

I guess we're not mint's only fans; check out some fellow style bloggers' take on this fresh spring color:
