I wish as I were writing this we had beautiful Spring weather but it is April 15th and snowing! I intended this post to be a little bit more Spring-y, but yes, there is quite a bit of snow in these photos! Anyway, I am a big fan of pastels. I love to wear pale pinks and baby blues. When you have fair skin and light eyes, pastels kind of scream your name. When I want to wear a pastel (like this cardigan), I have a few simple tips that I think may make it easier!
Edge it up! I like to mix feminine and edgy pieces together in the first place, but especially when I am going to wear a pastel. For example, these Levi’s jeans have a bunch of rips and add a little something to an otherwise sweet outfit. Also, these jeans are part of the shop bop sale, you can find them here. I wear these jeans the most (you can see them in probably half of my posts!)
Try just an accessory. I love this sweater, but it may be too much blush for you. I would try a blush pair of heels or purse instead. A pastel accessory paired with a neutral outfit is a great way to subtly wear pastels. I have a few pair of pale pink earrings (from here) that I am wearing a lot right now too!
One last tip, don’t overdo it on the pastels. I would pick one pastel (say pink) and don’t mix in more colors. Add different shades of pink if you’re really feeling it, but I wouldn’t go beyond that.
What do you guys think? Are pastels a must for Spring?
