July 31, is my mother's birthday. Not only does my family celebrate her birth date, but we honor her the entire week! To kick off her birthday week festivities, we decided to have lunch at one of our favorite casual Japanese restaurants, Sakura of Tokoyo in West Covina.
This outing was a perfect time for me to try out the mint skirt that I purchased at Cotton On for $10.
I paired the skirt with a ruffled tank top purchased at Target for $6 and mint necklace from Forever 21 for the same price. By pairing my skirt and necklace with a neutral colored top and shoes, I was able to further accentuate the mint color. Peach/pink blush and lipstick/lipgloss are also a good way to add more color to your overall look.

I now know why mint is an "it" color this season. It is versatile and makes all outfits "pop". I cannot wait to re-use this skirt again in another setting with a different top, accessories and shoes.
It is safe to say that my outfit and lunch were an overall success.
Being Latina is less complicated when you can budget shop and still look stylish, while simultaneously enjoying time with family.
