Color Inspiration


With Easter just around the corner, the sky is slightly more blue, everything is in bloom and you can throw your tights to the back of the closet for next winter! The colors of your wardrobe get a little softer and you find your mood slightly uplifted. Time to venture into a girly trend, pastels!

Pastels and watercolors are a flirty way to launch your color palette into the Spring and Summer months. Wearing pastels is all about balance. Don't go overboard with the sweet look. Expand your options. A shear pastel top looks great with skinny jeans, or tucked into white shorts. If your are a little hesitant, try to accent your look with a light pink flower pin on your jacket. Another option is to pair your outfit with rose colored pumps. Almost appearing nude, you will be surprised how you can get away with this color! If you go for a pastel dress, pair with black accessories to offset. Black heels or a black clutch.

Those of you with fair skin tones...I know what you're thinking, "NO WAY!" Yes way! Lighter skin can still pull off pastels such as lavenders or sky blue. Especially if you have darker hair. Look at Anne Hathaway who doesn't shy away from the trend! Those with a darker complexion look brilliant in rosy pink, lilac and peach tones. Eye color can also determine the right pastel hue for your. Blue or green eyes, stick to sea foam green or light blue. It will be the perfect compliment.

So, will you be waring a pastel-something to celebrate Easter this Sunday? (Guilty!) Get to Dress to pick up your Easter ensemble!
