Mint and Coral

One of my all time favorite dresses is one I picked up about a year ago from Anthropologie. The color, pattern and exposed back with a bow accent was just too cute to resist. They didnt have my size in the store but they did ship the right size straight to my house for FREE. Anthropologie clearly knows the way to my heart (via amazing dresses and top-notch service). It was a day where the big boss at work was retiring and everyone was asked to wear a hawaiian shirt or floral print to wish him a warm "aloha". (He's from Hawaii, hence the floral connection) This was the closest thing I had in my closet to a Hawaiian themed outfit and so I paired it with a necklace- also from Anthro-, wood heels, a white blazer, yellow flower hair clip and a painted wood bangle. This is as tropical/professional as I can get.

Mint Condition

My new FAVORITE dress. It's a lace, minty green, flattering dress. What's not to like? I wore this to a family dinner where we were celebrating a new addition to our extended family! This dress also has a bit of give so that I can actually eat! Score! I paired this dress with a black trenchcoat and vintage pin. I decided to lighten the outfit up a bit with some neutral accessories and shoes. I will definitely be wearing this dress again and soon!
