Obsession: Mint + Grey

Two colors that I can never get enough of... mint + grey.
Alone these shades are simple and wonderful, but together... M A G I C!

Mint isn't your baby shower go to hue anymore...no, no! Mint is a spring/summer color trend that's been going strong for the last few seasons and honestly, I don't ever want mint to leave my life. It reminds me of tropical waters, mint ice cream (droool), and just a cool, refreshing feeling. It's subtle enough to sneak into any outfit for a slight pop of color but in larger pieces makes you looks radiant and sorta like the chill and uber fabulous girl next door.

Now for grey. Grey is that color that seems drab and boring and blaaahh but let's be serious... grey is the new black and it's SO chic. Pair any color with grey and watch your match breathe new life. 
Go ahead, I'll wait. . . . . . . . . . . . .
See?! ^_^
In lighter shades it's a very calming and soothing color and lately I've seen grey debut in lots of nursery themes [gotta love a calm baby!] Darker greys are more professional, strong, and commanding but with just the right color can take your look into a whole different direction. Fact: It's a go-to color that will never let you down.




Now. Abracadabra, zippity do-daa, SHA-ZAAAM! Mint + grey will always win the day because it a combo that looks effortless and flawless, approachable and confident. It can be super chic, or cute, or chill or glam. Whether in your home, clothing, accessories, whatevs, it can be done with mint + grey side by side. Try it & let me know what you think!
