THE TREND: PASTEL DENIM
One of the key trends for spring is pastel denim. It adds a
playful touch to any outfit and is very versatile. You may have seen pastel
ensembles on the spring 2013 runway and thought full pastel was a little
too “sweet” for you. It may be sweet, but it can also be sassy.
Pair with Neutrals
One of the easiest ways is to pair
them with a neutral top … Think of it as business on the top, party on the bottom. Add a pop-worthy clutch or metallic belt to add some flavor.
Pair with Leopard
Print
If you’re feeling feisty and fierce, swap your plain neutral
top for a leopard print blouse. This will give the ultimate sweet but sassy
vibe, and cause onlookers to take a second glance. Pair this outfit with a tan
leather bootie for the day, or a pump for the evening.
Pair with Chambray
Wearing pastel denim with a chambray button-up blouse is a
casual but cool way to mix it up. As for shoes, you can wear pumps, or take the
super-casual route and wear your favorite pair of Converse-styled sneakers.
Pair with Black
Pairing pastel denim with black or navy has an uber-chic and
sophisticated outcome. It’s an easy way to go from casual to dressed-up. Pair
the pastel with just one dark shade, and wear metallic flats or pumps to make
the outfit pop.
Pair with Stripes
Bold stripes are another spring 2013 trend, so it only makes
sense to pair these two together. From black and white striped button-ups, to
striped t-shirts … almost anything goes. Pair this look with nude pumps, or
take playful to the extreme and wear a bold-colored shoe.
Pair with Pastels
Wear a pastel peach silky blouse with mint colored jeans and you’ll look as sweet as a cupcake. You can wear a cobalt blue pump for a touch of bold color, a leopard print flat for a darling daytime look, or a nude shoe for a more
sophisticated appeal. You can also break up the pastels up with a sleek black pump
and skinny black belt.
Pair with
Monochromatic Colors
Monochromatic color schemes are hot this spring! Mix a pair
of soft yellow jeans with a bold yellow blouse and a pair of tan leather
wedges. To take this look to its edge, carry a neon yellow bag or a yellow
suede clutch. Have fun with this one, and mix different shades of your color of choice. Or go with a blue monochromatic color scheme like the photo.
Pair with Grey
Grey, light or dark, goes great with pastel jeans. This will
achieve the most casual look out of all the pastel pairings, which is great for
running errands, shopping, or morning strolls at the local farmers’ market.
