Mad for Red

Style

Mar 11

Spring fashion is in full swing (even though the weather might not agree) and I’m both happy and apologetic to announce that black is not being seen as a major color this season. Don’t get me wrong; you can’t go wrong with black when you’re in a pinch, but there is something very joyful about the vibrancy of all the colors in our stores.It’s been predicted that the trending colors fall on both ends of the color spectrum: vibrant color hues as well as soft pastels. The bright, beautiful pops of blue, yellow, green, and my personal favorite, red, are making me very excited for the sun to come out and the warmer temps to stay.This season’s “Candy Apple Red" is being seen all over the runways and streets and luckily we have quite a lot of it in our stores. Candy Apple Red is softened with orange undertones, which make it very complementary on many complexions and quite easy to wear. Whether you opt for an accessory or a top to add to your closet this season, this bold red color can be found just about everywhere you look at The Shoe Hive and The Hive.We’ve made an inspiration board of this gorgeous, entrancing hue and hope you will come see us soon!

Co-Owner | Mint Condition and Mint Collective

Katie Coslov bought Mint Condition with her sister-in-law Megan Podolsky in August of 2019. Previously Katie was the Director of Operations at The Shoe Hive and had fallen in love with Old Town’s charming little city, where you walk down the street and greet people by their first names. Coming from numerous other big named retailers, and graduating from The University of Arizona with a Retailing and Consumer Sciences Degree, owning her own store had been on her bucket list! Check Check. Katie and her husband Ryan moved to the Alexandria area in 2016 with their two dogs and now have two little ones also.

Mint Condition stocks an ever-changing inventory of current women’s clothing, handbags, shoes, and jewelry by top designers – all in a fresh boutique atmosphere. Come see why we've been named the DC Metro’s Best Consignment Store by Washingtonian, Northern Virginia, Virginia Living Magazines, and the Washington Post Express and featured in Southern Living Magazine as one of Old Town's best boutiques.
