PERKY PASTELS

Last weekend when I was dress hunting, I couldn’t help but notice that the pastel trend has sort of come and gone… sort of. There are a few shades that have remained strong, and I hope they’ll continue into fall (I’m looking at you, baby blue and mint green!), but for now… this editorial has me highly inspired to keep the trend going…

The best part about pastels is you can layer so many colors without it feeling incredibly overwhelming. I love it. Trend or no trend, I’ve got to incorporate more of these into my wardrobe!

    Did you find that pastels and neons were kind of competing this summer? There was so much neon things and I personally like it better than pastels but the mint green is so dremy. I hope it carries into fall too! If you have a sec, I’d love to hear your thoughts on my latest posts!

    When I was young, colours like rust, amethyst, cocoa, slate and olive were considered autumn shades and pastels were considered spring shades. While I generally try to “think young”, I kind of like having fall colours in the fall and spring colours in the spring.

    Thanks for the breezy pixx! I’m packing for a lil’ getaway and these were great inspiration for what I wanna grab last minute before I leave! I also like your idea of passing pastels on to Autumn– the lemons, pale pinks and baby blue add nice accents to rich Fall colors! =) Great editorial

    You’ve redone the design of you blog! I love it!! These pastels are very pretty. Usually I’m more of a “brights” person, but if I could pull together an outfit like the first one…
