Spring Pastels Don't Have to Scream Easter Party

Even though it's cold and rainy right now spring is just around the corner. I love spring and I am anxiously awaiting the warm days and increasingly warmer nights. I also love spring clothing! It's beautiful and light and wonderful. Pastels are huge right now and so great for every day wear. However, if pastels are worn in the wrong way it can look like you are going to an Easter brunch on a daily basis. The key is to mix pastels with stronger colors and bold prints. You can color block with pastels too, but just be careful.



Let me start with the fact that wearing pastel jeans or pants is not always your best option. However, I love these pale pink crop jeans. If your heaviest part of your body is NOT your lower body, then rock the light color pants. If it is, it may not be your best option because it is going to accentuate and show all of the things you probably want to hide. You can always pair a pastel top with dark wash jeans or gray slacks and get the same springy awesome-ness.

I love bright saturated colors like coral and that kind of shamrock-y green with pastels. I included the coral skirt and the green and coral flats in this post because I love how they make the pastels pop even more too. You could pair those pale pink jeans with any shirt on this page and throw on the bright colored flats or those yellow heels and look put together but effortless. Those kind of pants can be dressed up or dressed down depending on what shoes and shirt you pair with them. I'm drooling over those pants and the green t-shirt with the coral flats or even the green flats. Ok, back on track now...

Pairing pastels with coral or green helps to break up the Easter brunch look and really make the pastels stand out too. If you are brave enough, white pants would also look awesome with any of those tops or shoe combos. The key once again is to make sure you have the perfect fit when you are wearing light colored pants. If they are too tight you will see every crease and bump. If they are too loose they won't look good at all. Also, make sure you wear the right underwear. Wear neutral colored underwear and underwear that is not going to create any lines whatsoever.

With all the bridal showers and fun fun stuff coming up this spring and summer I'm totally loving the pastels... I want these outfits. Don't you?
