Jewel tones

Shopping trips over the last two weekends have proved to me that while I love throwing some mint into my wardrobe (or any green for that matter), pastels are really not my color.  I think wearing mint with something else - royal for example - balances out the pastelness of it.  Same goes for my peach pants that I tend to throw a bright color with.

What I have confirmed is that jewel tones are awesome.  And I can work with that.

I think at some point every woman needs to reach the realization that while some trends might look amazing on other people - it does NOT mean they will look awesome on you.  Case in point, flirty minis.  Not on this girl.
