- Lastly, a sweet smile makes everything in harmony

To lighten up black and navy, we can add bits of mint and neons to freshen up the dark palette. It’s all about radiating positive vibes to inspire others around you. A pair of right flats and purse makes a huge difference in terms of mood and feel. In this look, I want to create a fresh and casual look that and lighten up my day!
