FASHION DAILY Photo Challenge Day 18. Pastels

Pastels are no longer worn only on Easter Sunday. This delicate, soft, dreamy color palate is now used for every type of occasion. It might seem a little too delicate for some tastes at first but there is a way to incorporate pastels in almost everyone's wardrobe. Literally every article of clothing could not be worn in a solid pastel color. If you want to dive in and play with this trend go strong with a pastel denim and pair it with a complimentary pastel top perhaps with a pattern or color blocking. If you want to ease your way in maybe try it with accessories like a pastel purse or necklace. If your somewhere in the middle try a pastel cardigan or blazer and pair it with a metallic necklace!! Ooo that idea just made me want to go get a blazer, haha!! Any pastel item will instantly make your outfit current, and romantic! I found this website that has some great help on how to wear pastels in more detail.

The dress that I am wearing I picked up at a vintage store in Montreal a little over 4 years ago. I was going to wear it on its own but I felt like I looked a little too much like a ballerina. So I chose this sheer button up shirt from Top Shop to break up the color and make it a little more sophisticated and a little less innocent. I chose this skinny belt that I stole from my mom, thanks mom ;), to tie in my sandals from target, and to add a waist line without a large distraction. This look could easily move for day to night by just adding a heel!!!
Share your pastel ideas!
