Some of my current crush colors are pastels, so when I was looking into the 2013's fall/winter trends, I am so pleased to learn that the pastels will continue to be a big trend!  I definitely agree with that because they are so pretty, are so tasty, and so girly! Who in the world would hate these colors, right?  I am already excited to shop for my fall/winter clothes in pastels and style them up with a mint-colorblocking, metallics, and other things to make an unexpected style!!!!

I found this lovely minty high-low dress at a local ROSS, I seriously couldn't wait to wear it!!!! The dress itself has a huge impact and totally embraces my girly summer look, while at the same time helping me to stay cool in the remaining summer weather. What's my most favorite thing about this dress? It's very fascinating and appealing when the wind blows.... You can easily imagine that, can't you?

Although this outfit is already impressive by the dress alone, I wanted to elevate my look by mixing it up with some accessories. 
The chunky clear earrings and the fresh white bag add a summer touch, and wearing the brown Steve Madden belt can elongate my height. On top of that, I chose a pair of nude wedge sandals so that I can generate the magic of my legs looking longer!!!

Oh I have one more magic trick for you to make your legs skinnier!
Just wear any anklets!!!
(This time I transformed my bracelet into an anklet!) 
Though they won't make a huge statement, they are definitely a great piece to upgrade your whole look!!!



Hope you like/love my minty dress and hopefully the anklet magic will work for ya too!


P.S. I am extremely in love with my new purple ombre hair!
 So many people have already given me some sweet compliments and are jealous of it! haha
