On my hunt for a few holiday dresses this season at Nordstrom, I found this one (as seen above) and loved it from the moment my eyes met the hanger. It’s such an unexpected color for this season, so I had to really think about if this dress was right for right now. It doesn’t have sequins, sparkles, or the color red. This can’t be a holiday dress. Let me open the scene with me standing completely still while staring at this dress in a store full of people, inwardly talking to myself. ‘Can mint blue be a holiday color?’ I thought and then quickly answered myself with ‘Is Frozen a movie?‘ (*chuckles to myself*) Yes and yes. That’s when I decided, then and there, that mint for holidays is a go. Especially when paired with this dark mulberry color. I honestly just wanted a reason to use the word ‘mulberry’ today; that’s why I threw that last sentence in. Mulberry and Mint, if that’s not a high-fashion frozen yogurt place waiting to open then I don’t know anything.
I’m just going to make this rule up right now: if you want to wear it, wear it. That’s the best fashion rule there is.

That color is so great on you. You look very pretty.
At first glance, the color does seem surprising for this time of year. But then again, it’s very “Frozen”-esque or snow queen-y. I love it. :] // â–² itsCarmen.com â–²

Hey Kendi, I fell in love with this dress and am considering purchasing it for myself, and I was just wondering about the fit, is it true to size? Thanks!
It’s true to size for dresses, for sure. I have a bust so sometimes I have to size up one, but this one was just fine. If you’re a bit smaller in the chest it might be worth sizing down, but the material is stretchy so I think it’s perfect and TTS. Hope this helps!
Perfect dress Kendi, and mint blue can definitely be a holiday color. Styled with some great statement jewelry, like you have…it is festive and perfect outfit. Looking amazing 🙂 Mel

Gorgeous! I’m obsessed with that color.
Smashing ensemble! You have successfully proved festive can occur in the absence of red and green! This is one of the best looks I’ve seen you do. And that is saying something since you are almost always spot on! Cheers!
