Spring Trend Alert - Pastels from runway to everyday

Spring trend to try now - Pastels

Usually when I think of pastel clothing, I think of Easter and frilly girly girl styles. Not this year - pastels are out in full force - and by adding an edgy touch, you can take them from "Easter Sunday" to "Night on the town." These looks are great for everything from date night to daytime fun. The key to pulling off this trend is to always have one "neutral" or "grounding" piece (such as clean-cut jeans, a black bag, or a simple top) to keep it from looking completely sporadic.

The Runway Inspiration:



Real Life:

with this:

DKNY Black 'leather zip front bomber jacket' - $239 (www.bluefly.com) and J Brand Skinny Leg Stretch Jean (Pure Wash) - $169 (www.nordstrom.com




The Black bomber jacket takes this girly print from sweet to chic and the dark skinny jeans add a complete a polished look!

The distressed (dark) denim and the edgy black platform pump with take this playful top from picnic to cocktails while the neon bag adds serious style points.

with this: 
Steve Madden 'Beeast' pump in purple - $59.99 (www.piperlime.com) and Marc by Marc Jacobs 'Turnlock Python Shine - Percy' Crossbody bag - $218 (www.nordstrom.com


By pairing these two unexpected colors, you get a serious spring trend and the black back grounds the entire outfit and gives it some edge!


HAVE FUN with this trend and add a little color to your life! Happy coloring!
