Color Alert: Pink and Mint Green

Posted on April 21, 2013 by Kenya L Fashion Blog

Of all of the recent color trends… pink and mint green is probably my favorite. I am definitely a pink girl (have been as long as I can remember)… but I wouldn’t say historically that I’ve been a huge fan of mint. After seeing Kerry Washington rock her gorgeous Oscar de la Renta gown for the NAACP Image Awards (see here) though… I became, let’s say, inspired. So, when I was on a recent weekend trip to Winston Salem and happened upon these mint green jeans (with polka dot print I might add — how awesome is that?) at Marshall’s, I immediately grabbed them from the rack and headed to the dressing room! Added bonus = they were $10 on clearance!!! It was the perfect find. Now, as spring and summer colors go, I think these two colors are nearly the best! So airy and floaty…. they just give off that summer time vibe! Honestly, whenever I see them, I tend to think about cotton candy or strawberry and pistachio ice cream scoops (but I am a bit greedy… so maybe that’s just me)!! What do you think about this color combo? What other colors are you pairing mint green with? What I’m Wearing: Forever 21 Peplum Top, D. Jeans, Zara Heels, Louis Vuitton Vintage Clutch, Tumi Sunglasses, Zara Statement Necklace Where Am I: Lakepoint Center

Linking up with Vodka Infused Lemonade!

Great color combo! Such a happy look!
I’ve worn mint with either black or white. I’m kinda boring…it’s the age thing. 😉

  Thanks!! Not boring at all! In fact, I just picked up a neutral brown (with black polka dots) that I intend to wear with these at some point later!

Love the two colors together! They look great on you! And amazing deal at Marshalls. That place is addictive! I love pairing mint with navy, yellow, or blue. It’s such a versatile color.

I love them, still trying to find the perfect pastel jeans and can’t find a comfy pair. Went to Kohl’s today and found some cute ones but still cut too low on the waist, will check Marshalls and Ross next.

  Thanks! It took me awhile to find the right pair and I really did just happen upon them in Marshalls… wasn’t even looking really! Good luck with your search!
