How to Wear Pastel Colors

Rose Quartz-Serenity Blue-2 Ways

Pretty Pastels

Hello beauties.  Happy Friday!!!! We made it!!! TGIF!!! Every year, Pantone announces the color of the year.  And we start to see the colors everywhere, and I do mean everywhere!! They get incorporated into everything from furnishings to clothes, shoes and accessories etc.  This year, there are two colors instead of one: Rose Quartz and Serenity, which are pretty pastels.  Think feminine meets cool!  Love the soft, calming, relaxing  effect we get with the combo of these 2 colors so you should check them out.  You don’t have to wait until spring to rock them, ladies.  There’s no better time than the present!

Easy to Mix & Match

Look for more posts in the future featuring these 2 colors.  They pair nicely with shades of green, brown, purple, yellow and even metallics and bright pops of color.  Today’s post features some very easy styling options for you.  And I mean it, these are very easy styling options you can try today!

Pantone 2016-Rose Quartz-Serenity

Effortless Options for You to Try:

Look 1: Casual Friday

  • I paired the blue sweater with white jeans (YES! white jeans.  YES, after labor day.  Don’t tell me you’re still wondering if that’s a faux pas?!) and ankle strap block heels.
  • Completed the look with a thin belt and pink necklaces.
  • Like I mentioned, these colors pair nicely with a LOT of colors.  For example, could have gone with grey or silver shoes.

Look 2: Business Casual

  • For more of a Monday-Thursday look, paired the blue sweater with a pink pencil skirt.
  • Chose a thicker blush belt this time and opted for blue pumps.
  • For a desk to dinner or cocktails scenario, a clutch is a nice touch.
  • Other styling option=you can tuck in the sweater into the skirt or opt for a half-tuck…Tucked in front but hanging in back:-) That gives it a bit of an edge!
