I love mint, both as a delicious ice cream flavor and a gorgeous pastel. While mint is usually a winter to spring staple, with the more unpredictable weather near me in Boston this year, its reign has continued through the spring and is creeping into summertime. I approve.

Overalls are not just for the one cool tomboy toddler anymore; we can all wear them. And, thank the Lord. You've got your traditional overall, your warm-weather shortalls, your first-date skirtalls, and of course, your printed whatever-alls when you want to feel as artsy as possible. Overalls are versatile, easy-going, and automatic bring up anyone's cool factor by a very good amount.

I rocked a good many feather headbands in middle school, alongside colorful eye shadow and colored tights. I have not worn one since. However, they are making a comeback not only in my book, but everyone else's it seems. Feather headbands when wore well can be classy and sassy, and not OTT as mine were back in the day.
