In four more days I'll be waking up to sweet, stinky air, obnoxiously loud sounds, slightly rude people and excruciatingly higher shopping prices. I couldn't be happier.

 

 I've been in total freak-out mode trying to pull together my wardrobe for the ten days I'll be in the big apple which prompted me to put together a few fun "essentials" sets for some much needed inspiration.

 

Hope you enjoy them! Part I features pieces that are all under $100!

MINT MINT MINT

If you haven't been swayed over to the pastel side yet, then now is definitely your opportunity. You've seen this color grace the runways this year, I'm sure, and I'm hoping you're slowly starting to reconsider. I had some strange deep seeded hatred for pastel colors for the longest time, only associating them with babies or Easter holiday,  both things I'm not particularly fond of. Slowly and surely, however - I'm becoming willing, if not eager to sport this beautiful color. 

You can mix this color along with any other pastel shade with neutrals for a lovely, dreamy look or take it to the next level and try color blocking, for example - mixing a mint shade with a deep jewel toned blue, or bright purple. Another option would be monochrome, which consists of wearing varying shades of the same color together in one outfit.
