# Bejeweled Peppermint Fall Looks The Schuman 'Mint Chip with Sparkles' Post is Flashy and Fresh By Jordy E | Published 2012-09-28 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mint-chip-with-sparkles References: [cupcakesandcashmere](http://cupcakesandcashmere.com/mint-chip-with-sparkles/) & [cupcakesandcashmere](http://www.cupcakesandcashmere.com) Emily Schuman's 'Mint Chip with Sparkles' ensemble provides a fresh and flashy take on fall fashion. While light pastel shades are usually reserved for the spring season, the Cupcakes and Cashmere blog writer pairs them with dark fall pieces, making them appropriate for the autumn months. This sea foam-infused outfit incorporates pieces from Sandy Hyun, Free People, Alice + Olivia and Manolo Blahnik. And while these designer duds may be overpriced for some, similar collections have been put out by brands like Forever 21, Old Navy and Zara. Schuman identifies her inspiration for the entry as having come from J. Crew's 'Sparkle Row Cami.' The same three rows of jewels are lined across the shirt here and are further adorned with a plated necklace. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 41% | Activity: 50% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Fall Fashion with Pastel Shades:** The trend of pairing light pastel shades with dark fall pieces creates a fresh and unique style for the autumn months. - **Affordable Designer-inspired Collections:** Brands like Forever 21, Old Navy, and Zara are releasing similar collections to make designer-inspired fashion more accessible and affordable. - **Jewel-adorned Clothing:** The use of jewels to embellish clothing, as inspired by J.
