This outfit reminds me of a more casual, laid back version of my mint and chevron outfit from many moons ago. Similar in concept - black + white + mint + gold geometric pattern + fun shoes. I'm actually surprised with how much I still love mint. I thought it was going to be a phase for me, but so far, it has stuck and I don't see myself giving it up anytime soon. And I don't know what it is about layering these two necklaces together - if you remember, I also did that here. They just go great together - and honestly, I didn't start layering necklaces until I started blogging. I just never thought to do it before! Also, I'm pretty sure my eyes are closed in that last picture, but that's one benefit to wearing sunglasses in photos! I do actually prefer taking photos sans sunnies, but I swear my eyes are so sensitive to light - I'd never have my eyes open without them!

Oh, I still love mint, too! Those shoes! Love them!
ReplyDeleteGlad I'm not alone!! Thank you!
DeleteThis is definitely one of your most adorable looks Carylee!! The window pane top & the oxfords are so pretty together!

Aww - thanks, Rebecca! I'm glad I was able to pair these two together!
DeleteLove the mint & white & black combo. I also thought mint was going to be over just because it was so big the last couple of springs, but I'm glad it's sticking around and not too played out. I don't even have to check your back post link to see when you layered those necklaces because I know :) It's the one that made me hunt down that gold chain in store after store since it was OOS online! And I'm glad I did!

Yesss! So glad you were able to get your hands on this necklace. I turn to it all. The. Time!! It needs to come back!
DeleteAnd I'm glad you're team mint just like me!
I love mint!! I've been on the hunt for Mint Skinnies so the ones you listed from Express may just be the ones (since they are on sale)! Love the jewelry in your outfit too!
ReplyDeleteKellie @ www.ie-style.com
If I didn't already have this pair, I would totally buy the Express version! Their pants just fit me so well!
DeleteAnd PS, I will be mentioning you and one of your previous posts in my Manic Monday post tomorrow! Thanks for the inspiration!
Absolutely digging his outfit Carylee!! Love the mint paired with the checkered top! Such an amazing contrast and yet so classy and playful!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much! I love the black and white pairing with mint! I don't know why I haven't paired these two pieces together sooner!
DeleteLove the top!
ReplyDeleteEatPrayWearLove
Thank you! I'm glad it finally got photographed!
DeleteLove the window pane top! So cute!

Thank you so much! It's actually on my phone wallpaper! Well, because it's a picture of the inside of a Kate Spade store. Funny thing is, I didn't even realize this top was in it before I bought it!
DeletePerfect outfit. Love the colors ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks so so much! The combo makes me happy!
DeleteLoving this outfit with gold shoes!
ReplyDeletexo, Lee
Thanks, Lee! I adore these shoes! The idea of pairing them with mint was so fun!
DeleteDefinitely need to pin this outfit, loved how you styled the shoes, I have silver oxfords, and I struggle with how to wear them.
ReplyDeleteThanks a bunch :)
Natalia
Oh yay! Glad it helps! I actually wanted the silver option but ended up getting these gold ones because they were ridiculously cheap! Would love to see how you end up styling yours!
DeleteI love that top and those shoes are so fun!!

I thought so, too! Thanks so much!

Thank you very much! I'm glad I'm not the only one still in love with mint!
DeleteI have to wear sunglasses during any hint of sunlight. can't leave the house without a pair. One good thing about this is that I have virtually no wrinkles around my eyes. The bad thing is I get raccoon eyes if I am out too long (I hate sunscreen on the face). I loved those shoes when you first got them and love them with this mint b/w combo. I have been eyeing the window pane trend but have yet to get something in this print.
ReplyDeleteMy husband is quite the sunglass connoisseur so he always gives me crap if I leave the house without them. Now I'm quite dependent on them, but I know they're good for you - for wrinkles and for protecting your vision!
DeleteI love mint and I love seeing posts like this because I wouldn't think of pairing it with black and white but it looks fabulous together! My matchy matchy inner deamons stop me from thinking outside the box sometimes and I need some inspiration like this to help me think outside of the box!
ReplyDeleteThanks girl!
