Pastel Color Blocking

When you think of pastels you might think of these


or these


or even these


But this spring season has taken a new twist on the tried and true frumpy grandma color.





While neon might still be a popular trend, and I spend practically every post telling about my favorite brightly colored clothes, I think it's time for a change. Since the color blocking trend is meant to capture attention with contrasting colors, it seems strange to put pastels together because they are all very similar colors to begin with. However the end result is pretty striking!

Point of caution though--while testing this new style out, make sure to avoid fabrics that have faded to pastel color or ones with too much lace and ruffles for fear of looking like a grandma. Stick to sleek silhouettes and take on a minimalist mindset with accessories and hair to keep the look contemporary and fresh. So this season instead of filling your houses with spring colored flowers, you can dress like one!
