I've gotten a lot of wear out of these white pants during this capsule. And I'm not going to stop wearing them when it's over. Speaking of ending, I'm going to stop this capsule at the end of this month. I know  I could make another three weeks worth of outfits, but I am so bored with this. I feel like they are just becoming a switch of a bottom or a switch of a top and not really a different outfit. Sometimes a simple switch of a piece is all it takes, but sometimes it's really boring. But there's always striped shoes to combat boredom!

This may just be a new favorite work outfit. It was comfortable, crisp and I felt professional but not stuffy or boring. Colors can still be professional even in a very conservative environment.
 
Just in case you are wondering, I did not wear mint two days in a row. But then again, what's wrong with that? Last Friday I posted the mint cardigan. My trip out of town has gotten my posts out of order because I was not able to take all of pics ahead of  time or during that week and still have a few things that have been worn that still need to be photographed. I also had some busy long days last week that didn't allow for pics but I managed to get this one in.
 
Here's a look back at the mint blazer worn last year with black and stripes:
 
 

Thanks for stopping by! Hope you have a great week.

Two of my favorites

Mint and stripes- two of my favorites. I've paired this blazer with black and white polka dots before and this time it's with stripes. I also like that the tassel on my shoes has a tiny bit of gold to go with the metallic trim on the shirt. Tiny, tiny details sometimes make a difference. It's when something is really pulled together but you don't know what or how. It's the tiny details.

I have something weird going on with color balance on my camera in these pics. I suspect I forgot to reset it after a weekend of sightseeing and photo shoots the weekend before. Live and learn.
 
I saw this dark grey and mint combo in a pin on pinterest and just had to copy it. I could rotate this mint blazer and my coral one nonstop all summer.

Mint and Navy



 
Blazer- JCrew Factory
skirt- Target option
shoes- TJMaxx

I was prepared to totally copy J's outfit but at the last minute I switched the cardigan for the blazer. It was hot and humid and I felt like the blazer would breathe better than the snugger fitting cardigan. I love the results. I've also upgraded my thrift store navy pencil skirt for this one from Target. The thrift store find had an elastic waist and wasn't always the most flattering to me.

Mint and floral

I've been looking to add florals to my wardrobe and found this blouse 50% off at JCPenney. I also had a $10 coupon, so it was a pretty good deal. I still haven't found the "perfect" floral blouse but this one will play well with many other pieces and for the price, I couldn't leave it behind. I'm making it work appropriate with a blazer.
 
I'm still looking for a floral blazer too. What's on your current wish list?

Dots+mint

How easily they sucker me in! A couple of months ago JCrew Factory had a really good sale so I went to the site to get the popover in black dots. I originally wanted this color and ended up with a blue one. The blue on has gotten lots of wear, so I knew it would be a good idea to get the black one too. The blazer caught me eye because it was also on sale and I needed to replace my old mint blazer. My old one has seen so much wear, there is no way the dry cleaners can salvage the sleeves. So I have the blazer and shirt in my cart and they suggest the necklace. Um, well, it does go together and tie these two pieces together, and it was on sale, so why not. Suckered right in.
 
 And even though I was not buying the first two pieces to wear as an outfit, I realized they would make a cute oufit. Apparantley, I'm not the only one who thinks so. Search Pinterest for mint blazer, and you will see lots of mint blazers over black polka dots.
