Mint + Leather

There was once a time when summer meant tanning on the beach, eating ice cream, drinking diet coke, and relaxing while enjoying no school, while rocking some new shorts, dresses, sandals, and sun glasses. So, you might ask, why this lesson is the summer esentials? Well, because I am slowly forgetting what these items are. The weather this "summer" has been terrible so far. I know it is only just the beginning of summer, techinically speaking, but if I see one more person post a picture of a beach on instagram (check mine out here for my daily looks and things I like) I am going to lose it. So in this fine weather we have been having, I have chosen to wear every maxi dress I own until the sun comes out to play again. Lucky for me, I really like maxi's...

In my personal opinion, orange and leopard make a great couple. They seem to compliment each other quite nicely. As my apparent obsession with leopard grows, my fondness of the color orange is pretty much at a stand still. I can't say I love the color, because, in fact, I think it is probably one of the most hidious colors avaiable (sorry if I am offending anyeone who might be particularly partial to orange). Maybe it is that it doesn't look so great on me, or maybe it is that it is really hard to find a good orange color, but whatever the reason, this skirt is the one orange piece of clothing I own...and I love it. Although, I don't know how protective againts the rain it would have been if those dark clouds in the back had moved in faster.
