Pastel Power: Easy ways to incorporate Easter hues

Looking at pastel fashion, you would think that only women that are crazy enough to add them to their wardrobe are overgrown princesses with an unabashedly large Barbie collection and an unhealthy appetite for Hello Kitty paraphernalia. When I hear “pastel,” I don’t think of a sophisticated, envy-worthy dame gallivanting in the tea gardens, I think of a frail old lady with an addiction to Hummels and Garden Gnomes. Alas, my dear, I must prove myself wrong. Pastels are becoming more and more in style as the days pass and even I, the all-black wearing, hippie-wannabe fashionista, am getting sucked in to fall in love with all the latest lightweight hues.

Adding them to your seasonal wardrobe is easy! Here are three easy pieces to help you love your inner pastel princess:
Proenza Schouler Ps1 Medium Suede Satchel in Peach is the perfect purse to compliment your weekday and weekend outfits. In an out-of-the-ordinary pastel peach, it is the perfect satchel to transform your everyday outfit into a classy, fashion-ready affair.

Add a spike of color to your evening attire with Miu Miu Matelesse Clutch. So sophisticated and so high fashion, adds a wonderful pop of texture and tint to that little black, beige, or nude cocktail dress.

Nothing says spring quite like an easy breezy silk blouse. Tibi Caftan is the perfect piece to get your spring-wardrobe started. Pair it with white shorts, it’s the perfect bikini cover up. An effortless update that will get your own fashion senses ready to bloom just in time.
