T here, from Seasonal Lust,
lending my voice to ShopMyCloset to talk about this year’s spring
obsession: PASTELS. Thank goodness that the gloom and doom of winter is
over, because I am so ready for spring, and lucky for us the biggest hit
this season is pastel (among other things like lace, eyelet and
feathers, but that’s for another post).
This
season’s colors are sure to rouse your senses as they are full
of fresh subdued hues in extreme feminine detail. The
wonderful thing about this trend is that you can never be over-saturated
in it! Meaning, head to toe pastel is perfectly acceptable, in fact,
extremely tres chic. But for those of you needing to take it much
slower, here are some simple steps on how to get on this trend without having
to dive in head first.
Here are 3 simple ways to incorporate pastel into your wardrobe:
1. Buy
a bright pastel blazer to pair over your all black, or all neutral
outfit from last season. It’s a perfect complimentary touch to the dark
tones we’ve all been wearing. Leave the dark blazers to the back of the
closet for now.
2. Invest
in a great pair of fresh colored heels. This adds a pop of color
to your usual black, white or grey work combo, and adds a little spring
to your step. The awesome thing about pastels is that it goes with just about everything, except maybe a vibrant red outfit (that can be a
little tricky).
3. Get some pastel make up - nails, eyeshadow and lips to be exact! - but please, never all at the same time as this can be a bit overwhelming on the face. I wouldn’t suggest anything
like the bright bluish lipstick pictured below.
There you have it! Pretty
simple, and very easy on the eyes!
Cheers to Spring!
-T
