Color Crazy: Mint

Photos do not belong to me.


 Greens are very summery colors, and mint is no exception. It is a very nice as an accent, or as a main body of color. Mint was quite popular in the 50s around the house, and in garnets. Today, it is making a huge come back in fashion by throwing itself into florals, accessories, and nail polishes. Heres a good guide on how to wear mint.
 Colors to mix: Mints look great with light pinks, navys, corals, white and ivories, golds, and neutral shades. For a retro look, pair mint with other pastel shades. For a more modern look, try mixing mint with black.
 Colors to avoid: avoid mixing mints with bright reds, bright oranges, and neon colors. also, try to stay away from silvers. Mint looks much better with golds in accessories.
