Wear This || Drink That (vol. 1)

Now that Memorial Day has unofficially kicked off the summer season, I think it's time to start a fun new series here on the blog "Wear This || Drink That." You know they say that inspiration can be found anywhere? Well how about using some of the most colorful cocktails to inspire a great outfit? If we are what we eat (& drink) - then it should be no surprise that my cocktails are colorful! ha. So why not match them to some great pieces and inspire a new look?

So without further ado... if you wear this, how about drinking that?! PS- Scroll to the end of the post for a drink recipe!
