Creating Fits: A few requests

By LL in KC

After a brief sabbatical due to work, I finally had a little down time to start working on a few new necklaces. Yes, I have done a few here or there when the need arose. If you follow The Right Fits on Facebook, you might remember this necklace from a few weeks back:

However, even though I've made a few necklaces, and attempted to make a few more, I haven't been doing it as much as I should - especially since I have been picking up beads left and right. Anyway, after posting the above necklace on Facebook, I had a few requests for something similar. With the purpose of creating something for someone else, I finally found the time over the last two days to sit down and make a few new necklaces.

I'm glad that my close friend shares my love of the color mint. Making the two mint necklaces for her just gave me an excuse to go shopping for more mint! Now if only I could get by with wearing them myself first!! 

Have a great weekend! Hope the weather improves for those of you who just got more snow!

Fit the Bill: Mint on a Budget

By: LL in KC

It's that time of year again...Shamrock Shakes are back at McDonald's for a limited time (until right after St. Patty's Day). Enjoying my first taste of minty goodness, I couldn't help but covet the awesome color of the shake. Yes, I've not only become a Shamrock Shake-aholic, but also a bit obsessed with the color mint. Here are a few of the awesome deals that I've recently found on mint-colored clothes.

Why not start at Target?!? This Mossimo Sleeveless Ponte Dress in Honeydew Green is perfect for spring and fits the bill at only $27.99.

Or how about the Basic Color-Blocked Skirt (with pockets) for only $24.99. (This one comes in petite and plus sizes, too!)


And who doesn't love a fitted blazer for only $29.95 from H&M?!?

Here is a cute mint striped scarf for only $6.95 at H&M.


H&M also has super skinny jeans in a mint acidy wash for only $19.95!


And Forever21 also has a cute Polka Dot Peplum for only $19.80.


And these adorable Scalloped High-Waisted shorts at Forever21 are only $17.80!


And how could I forget about shoes?!? Here is one of my favorite finds - only $89.95 Chinese Laundry Danger Zone pumps from Nordstrom.


But of course a necklace, too! There are a lot to choose from on Etsy.com, but this was one of my favorites:

So if you want to coordinate with your Shamrock Shake or pick out a cute outfit for St. Patty's Day that will easily work in your spring wardrobe, try one of these fitting options!
