polka dots & mint.



outfit details: top [cotton on] pants [bohme] boots [steve madden] bangle bracelet [h&m] lip color [MAC girl about town]

outfit chat: my cute little sis let me borrow this fabulous polka dot button up & i had way too much fun with it! i already can't get enough of the fun lose, flowy button-up look so when i saw this polka dotted version in her closet i knew i could do way too many good things with it! when putting this cute thing together i first knew i needed, & wanted, a fun splash of color. a bright shade of colored shoes would have also been a fabulous option. for example, a bright royal blue flat with a denim skinny would have been fabulous. for this outfit i went with my mint skinnies because it just seemed too fun to pass up. i also knew i would want to pair it with boots since the shirt alone is not a very wintery look [being three quarter sleeved and all]. i also opted for the boots because black flats just made the outfit seem so plain, the nude flat option didn't quite seem right with the bright white in the shirt & when i tried on the boots it gave it a little bit of excitement. i am not a huge fan of black boots in the first place, but black boots with this would have just been so typical. so matchy matchy. i am all about mixing the right shade of browns with blacks when appropriate. and something about the mint skinnies with that shade of brown boot just makes me so happy!
