Today's idea: Try mixing coral and mint in your closet, inspired by Eva Mendes! It can be easy to throw on a t-shirt and shorts in the sweltering heat, but it's fun to step it up a notch from time to time. Little things like a lightweight necklace, detailed top or creative color combo make all the difference.

More ways to wear it: If you get cold (at night, in the a/c), throw on an olive military jacket - it works for both outfits pictured.

My take: Eva's look is one of my favorite outfits ever, she looks great! I appreciate the inspiration so I could create my own easy version for running errands.
