Pastels

Hello, welcome, 

and thanks for stopping by my blog!

I am focusing my post today on pastels,

since spring and summer

 are truly the seasons for these

soft and light colors to shine!

There are so many beautiful pastels

 to chose from, this year especially,

since many of the designers are featuring them

Pantone has chosen some lovely ones,

although Peach Fuzz being named

as the Color of the Year

took me a little by surprise

It does not seem to have really taken hold

in the fashion clothing world,

  it has made more of a splash in home decor

What are your thoughts on the color, Peach Fuzz?

 I have been seeing a lot of great pieces

in the other Pantone pastels this season 

 and am really liking Chambray blue, Dessert Lilac, Lemon Drop, and my favorite this season-Carpi! 

For my first outfit, I am wearing

a flutter sleeve blouse in lilac

and a skirt with quite a pastel mix!

The skirt is made of crepe,

 and has the look of the slip skirts and dresses

 that are so on trend now, but it is years old

This skirt stays in my wardrobe 

because it is a classic A-line cut,

 the great overlapping circle print

and the whimsical fun factor,

plus, all those pastels to pull an outfit

together with!

     

Roger is joining me today, wearing an aqua shirt

to match with one of the colors in my skirt

He looks great in cool pastels and cool mid tone colors

He has not had his colors done, but I strongly suspect he   would be diagnosed as a summer!

For accessories I chose an aqua print scarf

in my hair, mint color flower shaped earrings,

and a 50's vintage pale aqua graduated plastic bead bracelet

Nude kitten heel pumps

with cute bow and cutout details

to finish this confectionary outfit

Mother Nature provides some truly beautiful  

pink, purple and lilac inspiration in the garden

Hope you all have a great week!
