Black, white, and mint






Gucci sunglasses
Francesca's earrings (option) and necklace
Target dress (old) (option)
Cara (option) and JCrew (option) bracelets
Kate Spade Saturday ring and bag (in black/white stripe here)
Kate Spade "Karolina" bow pumps

This dress is another oldie, but a goodie - it's from Target, and has held up quite well for the last 4-5 years. I usually reach for red or hot pink shoes and accessories with this dress, but lately I've been reaching more and more for mint to pair with black and white. The length and cut of this dress have a tendency to make it look a bit 50's inspired when I accessorize it with red, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I like how crisp and modern it becomes with mint. I feel like I should throw on a hat and meet some lady friends for Sunday brunch. (Again, not a bad thing.) Thank you, Target, for the gift that keeps on giving!

    What a great idea to pair with mint to keep it from looking too 50's! The mint accessories really do the trick to keep your dress modern and I love the final look. Awesome accessorizing!!! Lovely Saturday bag too :)

      Thank you so much! I'm glad you understood what I meant about looking 50's. Black, white, and red seems classic retro to me, which I love, too, but I love how doing the slight tweak to mint makes all the difference! Thank you for the note!
