Trend report: Winter pastels

How they wore it

1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6

Aren't you already over this winter? I know I am! I'm a tiny bit fed up with these dark mornings, heavy winter boots and beanie-induced fizzy hair. I'm so ready for the spring and the feeling of new beginnings and renewal it provides!
However, as I'm looking out of my window on a thick layer of snow on the ground, I'm afraid that this winter is going nowhere quite yet. That's why I've decided to brighten my days and my mood with a healthy dose of pastel colors (my favorites). There is nothing that cheers me up in the morning than pulling my favorite mint green or baby pink sweaters out of my closet (except maybe for my first morning cup of coffee...). I usually throw them over a pair of classic blue jeans and a turtleneck for an extra dose of warmth, but right now I'm very much tempted to invest in mint green, soft coral or lavender pants to liven my wardrobe up a little bit. Soft pink coat or handbag might be an option, too. And I'm definitely going to splurge on a statement necklace and earrings: after all, aren't the baubles the easiest way to transform an outfit from drab to fab? 
What is your favorite way to cheer up in the morning? Have you given winter pastels a try yet?

  3. All these pretty pastels make me long for Spring! They're so lovely and even though I wouldn't wear them head-to-toe, a single piece combined with neutrals would be great. Have a good week xo

  7. Pastels should be forced by law, hahaha!! No, really, I love pastels, and I really don't care the season I wear them whenever I want, sadly where I live there just two seasons summer (which goes through autumn) and winter (which goes through spring) and I can never wear mid-seasons clothes...

  13. I've never been a fan of pastels before (traumatizing in-front-of-the-whole-school ballet recitals may have made me biased), but I think I'm finally beginning to come around to them. Ten years is probably a long enough span of fleeing from them anyhow... I'm especially liking the sweaters and jewelry.

  16. I love pastels! I bought a really pretty pair of coral pants about a month ago, and I just haven't felt like I could wear them with the snow and dirty slush we've been getting here. But when March rolls around, I am so pulling them out -- along with my mint jeans. :)
