My love of Forever 21 is strong in this outfit, but what can I say, it was "mint" to be...

All puns aside, this is one of my favorite work and/or dressy outfits for the summer. The mint dress is a fun pop of color without being too bright, the white blazer is summer-y and fresh, while the gold accessories give it a chic upgrade.

Fashion Tip: Take your basic belt and make a bow (kind of Kate Spade-ish) by putting it through the loop as you normally would, but then tuck the end back through toward the other direction to create a bow effect.
