Changing My Stripes
I usually wear graphic black and white prints with red- that's just my go-to look, my comfort zone. The good thing about blogging is that it often forces you to try different things, to get out of your comfort zone. I realize pairing black and white with mint isn't life-changing or front page fashion news, but it was a new thing for me.

I really like the mint with the black and white, it works really well
I like that outfit with mint and it strikes me that it's a perfect color combination for a late summer transition.
Love it!
You look absolutely beautiful! :) I love the color scheme! I don't yet own anything mint, but I would LOVE to add it to my wardrobe!
I do love the mint! And that sweater! I think I would have been better pairing my balzer with an all black dress or slacks/blouse combo and adding a pop of color then the red blouse. Thanks for the inspiration!! And your legs look ahhhmaaazing in those wedges!

Love it! I have a dress in a neutral print that I love to pair with mint accessories. Unfortunately, I don't have cool mint shoes, but I do have a mint belt and bracelet.
love this outfit, print combined with colorblock is my passion :) well done
I love those wedges! Where did you get them? And I totally understand about little steps that are outside your comfort zone. Sometimes that's all it takes - especially with this outfit. The green looks great with black and white!
I want this outfit! I love it!
Your sweater is fab!!! I LOVE IT!!! The pops of mint are unexpected and fun!
Ha ha, the mint/black/white combo is really gorgeous on you Katie! LOVE that cardigan!

Ooh it looks great with the mint! I don't think I've ever tried that either (usually I'll also wear red or pink with black/white) but now I want to!

I love it! It's a simple change to swap out red for mint, but it makes a huge difference. Way to step outside of your comfort zone :)
I love this colour combination, mint is one of my favourite colours right now xo
i would never have put those colours together - it works beautifully, love it - and oh those shoes are gorgeous x sandra
Beautiful Katie! Love the mint belt and shoes, goes perfectly with the classic black and white combo.

Love the black and white with green! Maybe not "ilfe-changing" like you said, but still more unexpected than other combinations, and so cute and wearable :)
I LOVE black and white anything and zebra print is the extra icing on the cake! I'm loving the mint wedges too!

ow ow! LOVE LOVE those mint shoes against that pattern and dress! http://coffeebeansandbobbypins.blogspot.com//
I am right there with ya girl! It seems so natural to do red, white & black! But I am loving black, white & mint too! Another combo is black, white & coral (is that too close to red though?) I am super jealous of those wedges too, I want them!

Katie, with a kid in the hospital for two weeks, I got way behind on my blog-reading (spotty WiFi in the room) so I've looked but not commented in a while. You look amazing in this outfit. Zebra print isn't easy for everyone to pull off, but you look extremely sophisticated in yours.
Oh, no! I hope everything is ok! Thank you so much!
Thanks!
I don't think coral is too close. Definitely a combo I'll have to try. Ooh, and turquoise!
Thank you, Amy!!
Thank you, Melissa. Sometimes I don't feel fully dressed without a belt :)
It's one of my favorite things about blogging. That's for sure!
Thank you, Priscilla. I am headed over there now!
Yay! Thank you :)
Thank you, Trice. Those mint wedges might be the best shoes I ever bought!
Thank you, Laura. :)
I'm trying to find an inexpensive alternative to post...
That's what I thought too!
Thank you, Shelley! They are my favorite :)
Thank you :)
I need to rename this the "Sarah Special" ;)
Oh my gosh, mine too! I hope it's wearable into the winter....
That's what I thought too!
Wow, I'm versatile? Awesome!! I wish I could define my style but I never seem to get the hang of it. Maybe I just need to say versatile!
Thank you, Nikki!
Haha! You always make me smile!
Thank you, Yi-chia. Can't go wrong with mint!
Thank you, Sandra!
And I never do pink. Thanks for the idea!!
Thank you, Jenny!
Thank you- I definitely think mint is a fun color!
Thank you, Alicia- super cheap stuff- Wal-Mart and Cato's and shoes on super sale at Urban outfitters!
Catherine- I got the shoes at Urban Outfitters, but wait on a sale! They are regularly $60, but I got them on sale for $20!
Thank you so much!
Mint belt and bracelet- sounds like perfect accessories to me!
Wedges are magical like that ;) You are so welcome and thank you!
Well, these shoes would be a great purchase- they go with so many things!
Thank you!
I sure hope so! I'll be curious to see if people carry mint over into fall (and how).
Thanks, Steph!
Just an FYI, I'll be copying your outfit on Monday. I love it! The mint with the black and white is just perfect. You're fabulous, my dear!
