How To Wear Pastel Colors

You probably already noticed that pastel colors are having a moment.
But, I know that these shades can be intimidating, especially for those of you who live in blacks and grays.

I promise, these colors are very easy to wear.

“When in doubt, pick one pastel piece and keep everything else neutral.” 

I partnered with Nordstrom to show you FIVE simple ways to wear pastel colors.

Option #1 | Cami

PINK CAMI | CARDIGAN | JEANS |  EARRINGS | SIMILAR LACE CAMI

Cami

You can now wear a cami as a top on its own.
It’s great in hot weather. Not to mention, very sexy and feminine.
They are also perfect for layering.
Layer them UNDER cardigans (like I did above).
Or over tops. They also look amazing under blazers.

More camis here.

If you want a really pretty white cami, make sure you check out this one.

Option #2 | Sweater

PEACH SWEATER | EARRINGS | WHITE JEANS | SUNGLASSES | TANK

Sweater

Peach always plays second fiddle to pink, but it’s a REALLY gorgeous color!
I love this lightweight, breezy peach sweater by Free People.
You don’t always have to wear a strapless bra with off shoulder tops and sweaters.
Don’t be afraid to wear them over tanks or camis. I think the strap showing can be sexy…

Wildseed Farms

By the way, how gorgeous is this poppy field behind me??
I went to Wildseed Farms in Fredericksburg for the first time.
There are whole fields of gorgeous poppies, and blue bonnets.
This is a must-see if you are in the Texas Hill Country in the spring.

Option #3 | Earrings

MOTO JACKET | SHEER TOP | PINK EARRINGS | FRINGE JEANS |  WEDGES | SUNGLASSES | CAMI

Statement Earrings

One of the simplest ways to incorporate pastels into your wardrobe is with your accessories…
My earrings above are some of my favorites.
They are also a blogger favorite.
The earrings come in several different colors too!

Jacket

This jacket is another way you can wear a lighter shade.
It’s a suede moto jacket which is inherently edgy.
The mint green color adds femininity and softness.

Look #4 | Handbag

MOTO JACKET | SIMILAR WHITE DRESS | SANDALS | NECKLACE | PINK BAG | SUNGLASSES

Little Pink Bag

Another pastel accessory option that is very simple and surprisingly neutral… a pastel bag.
This bag by J.Crew is just the right size for your big iPhone and a few other essentials.
It comes in two colors.

Jacket

In case you missed the blog I posted last week…
It’s here.
It features this fabulous mint green suede jacket by Blank NYC.

DOME SATCHEL | JEANS | JACKET

Another Pink Bag

I also LOVE this pale pink dome satchel by Sole Society below.
It’s ONLY $59!!
And, it’s vegan leather…

Pair your pink accessories with white, taupes or beiges, or other pastel colors the way I did above.

Option #5 | Tee

PINK TEE | FRINGE JEANS | PINK BAG | BOOTIES | EARRINGS | SIMILAR SUNGLASSES 

Tee

A tee is another really simple way to incorporate pastels into your look.
This tee is really soft and lovely.
I will likely buy more colors because I really love the fabric.

Booties

Pair your pink tee with some cropped jeans and trendy peep toe booties for an effortless chic look!
These booties are amazing, btw.
Comfy, and super cute.
They are also easy to get on and off. Kind of a must for me these days.
