Greens for Summer

Summer lovin’ on my mind…

I was so inspired by this perfect summery-feel photo on Design Darling that I started seeing greens everywhere over the holiday weekend. What’s not to love about lime, grass, cucumber, basil and fresh spearmint green for those upcoming sultry summer days?

Hope you kicked off your summer season right this weekend!

    Green was my fave color until I got that Ebay sofa in my house – now I can’t stand it! Must recover!

    Usually I don’t do the shorts, but this past weekend I wore an orange corduroy pair and it went pretty well. Now those cute green shorts are calling my name! (Oh and the bag too. Can’t do fancy bags in the summer.)

    Oh, what a cute little collage you created, as usual. I love me some cucumber sandwiches.
