Setting the Mood: Pastel Me Again

By admin|March 25th, 2013|Setting the Mood|

Punxsutawney Phil may be getting sued, but technically speaking, spring is upon us. And speaking of groundhogs, one trend for spring that is making a repeat appearance is pastel. Everything from shoes to shades to even hair is taking on the hues of your favorite summer sunset or bag of Sweet Tarts… whichever you prefer (but really, why choose?). So get your girly girl on by stepping into spring’s sweetest trend, but remember, just like downing that entire bag of Sweet Tarts, there is such a thing as too much of a good thing. Except for sunsets. There can never be enough sunsets.

Setting the Mood: Pastel Me, Please.

Second to the clean crisp contrast of black and white, pastels are my favorite shades in the rainbow. I think it’s because they remind me of the sky right before sunset (you know, when the sky looks like a big bowl of sherbet). There’s nothing I love more than a good sunset… well, almost nothing. And just like clockwork, pastels are making a huge comeback for spring. From soft mint, to sweet lavender and blushy pinks, all the colors of the evening sky are showing up on everything from denim to handbags. I love the look of monochromatic head to toe pastels, but if you want to add just a touch to your look, try incorporating accessories or just simply nail polish to remain on trend without feeling like an easter egg.
