Well it is Thursday and I seem to have a newly minted case of mint fever.
Oh, you know that I have been all neutral lately, except for the other day when I was a lovely orchid blue shade. and then three days ago, when I wore pink, top to bottom.
I should have known that was a sign...
And then yesterday it hit full force.
It started with these pants:
I had seen them in store n New York City. Such a lovely pale shade of mint. I could see them with ballet flats, my new Tory Burch shoes, my minty green Valentina slingbacks of 2012... And then they went on sale and are now 30% of that...A navy top, a black top, a white top, pinks, etc, etc.
And then I thought about sweaters. I had seen this featherweight cashmere sweater in NYC and actually tried it on. It was a delightful, healthful shade, a paler, mintier version of the retro jade.
Oh dear, expensive. So I headed over to the factory site. Maybe there was a cheaper version?
Well there was: The Clare Cardigan, at a much more reasonable price:
Not a bad version of the colour and a $100 or so cheaper - but would I like it as much??? I think so.
And then, darn it, there was also a spearmint sequin tank top!
And then I remembered that the wonderful A Bigger Closet made a lovely set with the pinwheel capris and I had to go see it here.
Sigh. Yes, I know it is easter. I know I have Spring fever. But then I think how pretty these would be with the things I already have. I think of my shoes, with lovely new friends. I think of the sequin tank with jeans, both blue and white. Ah dear...
How about you, are you steering towards mint, or shall we just have a Mojito, instead?
Happy Thursday and Stay Safe Out there! Will keep you posted on what I decide!
