Usually, I associate mint with these little lovelies at derby time...
However, we are not discussing the fragrant mint plant here today. This post is dedicated to the color:
Variations of the shade are everywhere, from design...
to runways...

Mint has translated from Spring to Fall (Winter) very well. In the warmer months the color comes off as sea-like and light as air. At this time of year it takes on an icy, bright feel. Wearing mint in the colder months is a matter of strategically choosing the weight and mix of textures and fabrics. For example: corduroy or suede mint is perfect. Chiffon could look silly. Mint in winter plays well with colors that ground it: camel, navy, gray, black, and even leopard prints.

hmm. I think this post was subconsciously in my brain when I bought a pair of mint tights at Target to go with my Missoni tunic from years past. I have to say, I prefer my mint in a julep at the Derby party! A once a year treat.
