Tastier than a scoop of pistachio ice cream - my current color crush, mint, has sweetened me to the core. This delicate and versatile pastel, makes me want to pair it with equally delicious hues such as lemon yellow, almond brown or lavender. If layering pastels isn't your forte, then try pairing with cooler tones such as navy or smokey grey. 

There are two ways that you can wear this trend for spring: all over color commitment, like this floral dress from Samantha Sung, or just a pinch of color  like these suede loafers from Matiko Lilo or this shimmering bauble ring from Forever 21. For minimal color commitment, I would suggest a great and practical accessory like this laser-cut wallet from Cleobella.

If mint is too sweet for you, why not toughen up the hue, with leather. This mint leather skirt with gold trim from Marni is the perfect blend of femme and sass. Go be Minty this Spring!
