Mintspiration

This is a March of the Bloggers guest post!

"Just in Time for Spring...
Tongue in Cheeky's Mintspiration"


***


It's the freakin' weekend, ladies! Hopefully you're not stuck inside like I am thanks to Chicago's ever-volatile weather. But if you are, how about sitting down with a cup of tea and reading this next lovely blog post?

Our guest blogger Ann runs a fashion blog that does it all. She's a vintage lover (like us!) who covers style AND makeup and even has tutorials to help you achieve beautiful vintage looks. I adore this blog and I think you will too after you read this post.

Anyone that knows me is more than aware of my affinity for the color green...especially in the mint variety. Green has been my favorite color since I was a child...I think it's because it reminds me of spring, the season of renewal and growth (and another favorite, rain!).

Naturally, I decided to post about a couple of my favorite things today...mint green, and fashion! It's a super popular color right now, that you can find everywhere! I've found mint green blazers, purses, skirts, blouses, you name it!

Here I have a styleboard that I've curated with my favorite mint items, and you can find a couple of them right here on Frock Stock!

The Antigone Dress in Seafoam is absolutely perfect for spring! The Grecian-inspired draping and soft silhouette will fit any figure.

How can anyone not adore the Dance the Polka Sash in Mint? Not only is it an amazing color, but it has polka dots! A great way to add some color and a print to a dull outfit in a snap.

The other three items are from my personal "mint" collection, which are also my favorite pieces! Of course, my prized possession is the fabulous cocktail hat that I found at an antique store for $5!

Who else has a mint obsession? I'd love to see everyone else's favorite items!

I'm obsessed with mint myself right now. It was already one of my favorite colors to wear before this big trend came out and now that it's big I'm literally scooping up every mint item I see before it disappears! (I even bought mint tennis shoes yesterday!)

If you loved Ann's post you absolutely need to head on over to her pretty blog. It's seriously a must-read! Also, leave some comments about what you think about the mint trend for a chance to win some jewelry tonight!
