Etsy vintage finds: Mint green for fall

Mint green with black pinstripe blouse $16

Most of you will view this as a somewhat anti-fall inspired post based on the color I chose. I suppose it comes from me being in school where we were trained to think about fall when it was spring and to think about spring when it was fall. Fashion is one of those funny things that caters to the "I want what I can't have" train of thought.

Mint green wool coat $50

I'm sorry for the lack of posts lately. I've been dealing with daily headaches, I suppose from the weather changing. Also, I've been really uninspired by anything as of late. I just feel like I've seen it all and there isn't much out there that is unique anymore. I'm sure it's just a phase, one we all go through from time to time.

Mint green corduroy skirt $38

Anywho, here's a post of some lovely things I've rounded up from Etsy. Despite what a lot of you may think, mint or pale green is a color that shouldn't be restricted to just spring and summer in my opinion. I think it's a lovely year round color!

Mint green sweater $12

Mint green has always been one of those colors that I can't get enough of and don't seem to see very much in stores. I think there's a lot of people who either dislike it or don't know how to wear it which makes me like it even more for myself!

PS If you purchase anything I've mentioned here, comment below that you bought something and let the seller know you are purchasing because you found it on my blog! I always love knowing that my blog is helping out independent business people!
