PASTEL COLORS FOR SPRING

I am so glad Spring is finally here. The weather has been beautiful, with temperatures in the high 70’s everyday. You can just see the spring in everyone’s step. People are out every afternoon, walking and riding bikes down in town. The grass is getting green, the leaves are budding out, and flowers are poking through the ground. I love spring!!!

Pastel colors for spring are baby blue, pale pink, and mint to name a few. I normally am not a pastel wearing girl, but this year I can’t seem to get enough. Mint green is like my new favorite color and I don’t know if I have ever owned anything that color before. That just goes to show you that your taste can change.

The scarf is my favorite part of this outfit. I bought it at Maurice’s when I bought a pair of mint green jeans that I wore here. I like this one by Target, and this one has a beautiful floral design. Let me tell you about my process for picking out an outfit this morning. I went into my closet, picked out my mint jeans, and then started thinking about a shirt. I am still in a casual mode, so I picked out the navy t-shirt. I turned to leave the closet already thinking about what jewelry to wear, and this scarf was hanging on my door. I grabbed the scarf, but then I didn’t want to wear the jeans any longer. That was just too much green, so I picked out the pink jeans to bring out the pink streak in the scarf. As you can tell, everything is all scientific. Haha

The navy t-shirt is just a basic piece. It can be worn alone, or under vests and blazers. I bought this one at the GAP outlet when we were in Florida. Here is a “nice” one, and here is a more affordable one, and here is a plus one.

The pink ankle pants are Old Navy pixies. I must have bought them last year, because I don’t remember buying them. Here is a plus version in very light pink.

I wear so many high heels, that I thought I would wear a couple flats this week. This is an Isaac Mizrahi ballet slipper that I bought at The Outlet Store in town. Here is a pair of Nine West that look identical.
The white tote is not leather, but it is really cute. Since I can’t keep a white purse clean, this works for me. I have a Coach purse that I got out of the closet and tried to clean, but it still looks so bad, I refuse to carry it. I’m making a sad face, by the way. Lol! Here is a similar faux leather purse, and here is the real thing. My birthday is in May, so if any of you want to buy me that purse, just contact me and I’ll give you my mailing address. I promise I’ll keep it clean! Hahahahaha
Be sure to watch the video for a complete view of todays outfit.
