Today, I wore my new purchases and some old accessories. I went a little out of my comfort zone with this one, which is interesting that it will be my first outfit post.
I keep seeing mint green skinny jeans and pants everywhere - in stores, on people, on pinterest, and I was intrigued. They made some really cute outfits. So on todays blog, I'm going to share my outfit from today that I wore around campus, and try and show you some other outfit ideas that make the mint skinnies work, so you can use the trend also.
This one is my personal favorite. I like how simple it is.
This one is also fantastic because its so neutral.
Again, this is a really casual and feminine way to wear them. Both mint and that coral/pale pink, seems to be quite popular in stores right now.
I love this outfit. I want this shirt - this is fun. However, I feel like this is more of a spring or summer wearing outfit.
I've also noticed a lot of girls around campus wearing them with tones of beige, cream, and a dark army green colour. It looks fantastic. Sadly, the weather today was rainy or else I would have snuck some pics.
I also only have a few shots of my outfit, due to weather. But, I did the best I could. And I apologize for the sorry state of my dorm room, I just had a few midterms.
So, I paired my new mint skinnies (which I am telling you, need to be shrunk - if you are buying these, and I'll tell you where and how much lower down, buy a size smaller than you are) with a lace cream coloured top, a pale pink infinity scarf, and some accent accessories.
Earlier in the day, I was wearing a brownish tan pair of riding boots - simply because it has been pouring rain all day. Oh joy. But, if it hadn't been raining I would have worn these awesome shoes, that were a super cheap buy. I love them because they remind me of classic Audrey Hepburn.
This is a close up of the design on the shirt, its actually quite pretty in itself - very feminine. However, I feel with a pair of leather leggings it could take on a whole different look. I liked the mix of colours today. It was a refreshing change.
The jeans, which are really more of a soft fabric (the fabric is actually incredibly soft, they are extremely comfortable - only big made, and they stretch) material are from Forever 21 - I believe they are still available in most stores. They were only $29.30, CAN.
The lace top, was also from Forever 21, and I bought a little cami to go under it from there also. The lace shirt was $23.70, and the cami $3.80. The cami's aren't great quality, but they are cheap, and easily replaced if your just using them for under shirts.
The pink infinity scarf, is also from Forever 21 - and it was $10.80. It also comes in a turquoise/mint colour, that I almost - and still might buy. The necklace, which has been one of my favorite pieces for a long time, is old and also came from Forever 21. I believe at the time it was four or five dollars.
The bracelets from top to bottom: Ten Thousand Villages on Locke Street ($4.99 on sale), the next bracelet was from F21 (I believe $5), and the final bracelet was from a little store in Myrtle Beach ($1).
Finally, the shoes. I get asked about these a lot simply because its a style that is very in this year apparently. I got mine at Wal-Mart. They also came in royal blue, and bright red. I went with a more classic black. But, the best part about them, was that they were only $15. Word of caution - they take a long time to break in, it was painful - but totally worth it.
I think you'll definitely be seeing me mixing and matching pieces from this outfit to create new ones. I'd love to play up the mint pants with a white tee and a black blazer with some black kitten heels. And the lace and leather look might just happen - we shall see.
Tomorrow, I think I'm going to be writing a little bit about pieces I think every girl should have in their wardrobe, and the pieces you should or can spend more money on. Also, later this week I think I'm going to post my first makeup tutorial, I haven't decided whether I will do it in step by step pictures, or a video - opinions would be appreciated. Also, if anyone wants to see a specific tutorial - please let me know!
Thanks for reading !
Happy shopping !
