6 Ways to Wear Spring Pastels

Spring is officially here and I don’t know about you but I’m seriously sick of not only my winter clothing, but I’m sick of wearing neutrals! Over the past few months I’ve defaulted to wearing blue, black and gray on repeat (which is SO unlike me), but thanks to a recent shopping trip and a resurgence of color in my life I can promise nothing but bright and bold pieces from here on out!

Easter Weekend is the perfect opportunity to break out your favorite pastel and brightly colored clothing from the back of your closet! I haven’t gotten a chance to swap my Summer and Winter wardrobes yet, but lucky for me I picked up this pink and red Spring coat from The Limited last weekend and it worked perfectly for today’s Spring Pastels trend!!

I’m super jealous of everyone’s pretty Spring pastel looks…excuse me while I go pin every single one of these for warm weather inspiration!! These girls might have just given me to push I needed to finally tackle the task of packing away my Winter clothes to make room for all of my Summer favorites (I need my floral dresses back in my life ASAP!)

Let’s talk about these pants and shoes for a second! I nearly died when I found these ankle pants in The Limited. I’ve been searching for years (no I’m not exaggerating) for a pair of cropped straight-leg “work” pants that aren’t too low rise and fit my hips. I literally try them on in every single store they’re available in and have always come out empty handed, then I walked into The Limited and saw one lonely pair of Lexie Collection Ankle Pants sitting on a rack and decided to take a chance. Low and behold THEY FIT PERFECTLY…they’re only sold online, but if you’re a pear shaped girl like me and have trouble finding pants that fit I highly suggest ordering a pair online to see if they work for you! I promise you won’t be disappointed!

Now the shoes…ugh I’m in LOVE. I really didn’t think I would jump on board the tassel sandal trend so quickly but I spotted these online (you might remember me mentioning them in this post), and I couldn’t stop thinking about them. Seriously thinking about picking them up in more colors, because I already know I’m going to wear them to death. And PS they’re 40% off with code: BRSPRING until April 3rd so hurry up and get them before they sell out in your size!
