'Mint...Fashion's Own Knight'

Have I mentioned to you guys how much I'm adoring the color mint? It's now right up there with my love for grey and fuchsia! Which, incidentally, makes an appearance here as well - clutch, check, lips, check! This is one of the outfits I styled on My 2012 Spring Style videos here and here. 

I've gotten so many compliments on these Asos mint loafers I'm wearing. Almost makes me want to click 'purchase' on the black and white ones here.  Not yet, Amy, not yet! Hold out for a 20% off code. But really, they are only $68 and really well made. If they run low in stock, screw the 20% code.

'Now Purple With Love's Wound'

Enjoying the Spring sun in one of my new Zara knit sweaters. Love the $19 price tag; hate that it snags very easily. Still, it's a great buy, and I love the peek-a-boo cut-out in the back. Paired it with my purple, cotton voile skirt for a little play on texture. Perfect combo for those not-so-warm/not-so-cool Spring days.

'What, My Dear [Suede Skirt], Are You Yet Living?'

I've had this pink suede skirt for a little over 10 years now, and I've yet to put it in the cleaners. Why? I'm terrified that if I do, it won't come back the same (i.e., significantly lighter in color). I've had bad experiences with dry cleaning and leather/suede and have had to get rid of the piece because it was simply ruined. And so I keep this skirt in my closet, under plastic, pulling it out a few times a year. I'll just let it age gracefully...

Not a huge sock and shoe kinda gal, but when I saw these bold polka cuties in Lucky Mag., I just had to have them on my footsies.

What do you think of socks and shoes? Infantile or sweetly mature?

'Her Infinite Variety'

Yup, it's this Zara blouse AGAIN (worn here and here)! I can't tell you how much use I've gotten from it. And to think the first time I tried it on, I left it behind in the store. Thank goodness I went back for it. I reach for it at least once a week.

And I couldn't help but add this adorable neon belt that I got from Asos for $10. Oh yeah, I'm bright as hell (how ever bright that is) and I'm loving it!

I see the blouse in the summer with sleeves rolled all the way up, over some denim cut offs like these.

'Alas, Poor [Resolution], I [Meant] Well'

I am REALLY trying to cut back on my spending and to save, save, save.  And so I shall place the thanks blame of the purchase of these fabulous color blocked flats on Isabel of http://foreverunderstated.blogspot.com/!  I freaking love them!! As soon as I saw them on her feet in her blog posts, I knew I had to add them to my collection (and besides, she's all the way in Sweden so I don't think we'd run into each other wearing the same shoes).  With her blessing, I went in search of them.

  Yup, my resolution to tighten the wallet has temporarily gone out the window.  Besides, what's a girl to do when faced with gorgeous shoes, the last pair (in creation apparently) and in her size?  I HAD to buy them.  Thanks, Isabel :)
