shades of green

Hi everyone!  I hope you all had a guh-reat weekend!  As for me, I think I found my favorite spring color palette.  I am loving this minty pastel green top that I got at H&M for... guess what... $13!  A-woo-hoo!  It's a sleeveless collared button down top which makes it totally perfect for spring.  And it goes so well with my new Serenity necklace from Stella & Dot.  I love the chunky stones and colors.  It makes me think of the ocean and sunny spring days.  Spring seems to be coming up pretty fast here in Chicago.  We are expecting mid 60 temperatures all next week and I'm super excited!  This day was still a bit chilly so I had to throw on this light jacket that I wore on my previous NY post.  I was definitely enjoying the sunshine.  It instantly puts me in a good mood, even if it's really cold.  

This past Friday night, City Blue had a launch party for their online shop.  Since it's so hard for me to get out and about to shop because of work and just overall busy schedules, I mostly shop online.  I'm excited that now I can peruse the stock at City Blue on their website.  Please visit them at shopcityblue.com.  They have this super cute green Joie top at the store that I'm keeping my eye on!  I hope it shows up on the website soon... wink wink!  I wore this outfit to the launch party, except swapped out the white flares with dark blue flares.  Which just goes to show that a pastel top can work for both day and night.  =)  It was definitely a fun party and I want to thank City Blue for the invite and for letting me bring some guests!  I wanna give a shout out to my loves The Hubster, Trace Face, Miss Sue, and BeeBoy for coming out with me.  The night led us to many adventures with stops at Social 25, Privet (hey Jenny Penny!) and that ended in Chinatown's 7 Treasures.  Kickin' it old school FO SHO!  <3













I encourage you all to add some color in your wardrobe for spring.  A few key pieces to have are white flares and a pastel colored blouse.  Each can add a fresh change to any other piece you already have in your wardrobe.  If you are anything like me, I look at my closet after the cold season and all I see is dark neutrals.  Pops of color are the best way to stand out.  And of course top it all off with some statement jewelry.

Love the silhouette of these pants on you! I have a few pairs of wide leg denim that I desperately need to get hemmed! Do you recommend a tailor?

I think mint looks great on olive skin tones like ours. Funny thing is I blogged my mint blouse too :) thanks for sharing!

@LC, Golden Needle is an amazing tailor in the city! A bit pricey but if you have investment pieces you need altered, she is definitely worth the price! Here's the Yelp link: http://www.yelp.com/biz/golden-needle-tailoring-and-cleaning-chicago
Shai, I should've had you pose with a cupcake! DARN IT! Next time we'll coordinate frosting colors and outfits! hahaha
