Mint Chocolate

Laundry. It's right up there with dishes and vacuuming on my list of things I loathe doing. But even more than doing laundry, I loathe when I'm down to the dregs of my closet - which is exactly where I'm at right now. The very dregs! That being said, I was pleasantly surprised with how this outfit turned out. Sunshine and gorgeous weather steered me back to my new Michael Kors cropped pants, and I took the opportunity to pair them with this great pair of sandals I scored from Payless. If you see these in your local store, grab them! They're super cute and not nearly as uncomfortable as I thought they would be. For the price you can't go wrong.

The challenge here was finding a top to pair with my bottoms! When laundry day rolls around I inevitably find myself with a closet full of black, as my bright colors are always the first to be worn. I've had this bronze metallic tank for a while, but haven't worn it lately because of a spot on the front where the metallic seems to have rubbed off. With my fringe necklace covering the imperfection, I reached for the last colorful cardi I've got at the moment, this much worn and beloved chartreuse number. I really love the color combo! It's earthy and organic, while the metallic top and statement necklace give it some edge. Win!
