Mint moment

Sometimes I get a little matchy-matchy. Sometimes it becomes clear to me that I become obsessed with a color and then buy everything I possibly can in that shade. Sometimes it gets a little ridiculous.
I still need a mint handbag.

    I can totally relate dear, I just got the cutest mint clutch at H&m, mint really has caught my eyes these past seasons. Love this cute fresh combo, the necklace is a great touch!

    nothing wrong with a little color obsession! I agree a mint handbag would be a perfect addition. Why the heck not. Plus, that shopping ban is over, right...or at least almost over?!

    I recently decided I don't have enough green in my closet. Then I remembered my prior love affair with mint from a few years back. Woops. I love this color combo Lydia!

    Sounds a little like me :)
    oh and i was drawn to wearing that same skirt today but i changed my mind (i did not want to shave).
    I think this looks summery and fun and not matchy matchy at all - maybe i say that because i am matchy matchy by nature!

    I think intentional matchy-matchy can be really cute! I love the summery colors of this outfit, especially your yellow nail polish! That's the perfect accent. :)

    Matchy matchy is always nice. Those necklaces are way too neat--I love the gold in them!

    And I'm sure you'll come across your pretty mint handbag when the time is right!

    Might be matchy matchy to you but It says fashionable to me. Just go and get the mint green handbag. I am sure you will wear it well.

    There's nothing wrong with matchy-matchy in my book - one of my biggest fashion pet peeves, as silly as it is, is when a outfit contains no two items of the same colour. Matching ties things together, I think, and the mint and coral in this look come together beautifully. Although a mint handbag would be a nice addition ;)

    I work so hard not to be matchy-matchy, sometimes for a change I do a little coordinating ;)
