I am absolutely adoring the pastel trend this season. Like with every trend, I have gone overboard. I literally now own every item of clothing in some sort of pastel shade - all I need now is a pair of pastel brogues, ha!
This post is focusing on how I would style a pastel outfit. I am a huge fan of Boohoo and they have definitely succeeded with the pastel trend. I personally felt Boohoo were ahead of the game with this trend as they were bringing out pastel pieces very early on.
Firstly is the Lola Cable Knit Jumper. I must admit that I was a little skeptical when purchasing jumpers from Boohoo as I have always found them to come up much smaller on me, however, I was proved that I no longer have to be skeptical after purchasing this beauty. The colour is a gorgeous mint green and it also comes in three other colours; apricot, pink and stone. I really wanted the pink jumper but I had purchased the pink jeans first so I wanted a different colour and now, I wouldn't change my decision at all. This is honestly the most comfortable jumper I have ever owned. It is good quality, true to the pictures, true to size yet enough room to be comfortable, great price, warm and has a lovely pattern. This jumper goes with literally anything. I like to wear it with circle skirts, which I'm sure I'll do a post on in the future.
Secondly, is the Katie Baby Blush Boyfriend Jeans. Again, I love these jeans. I was a little worried that they would be TOO pink but when they arrived, I had nothing to worry about. They are more of a pinky-peachy colour which I adore. They are feminine but not too much as they have the MOM fit to them which is great as they are very comfortable. The one thing I would say is to get a size smaller as I have found these are just a tiny bit too big for me as I like MOM jeans to be a loose but still a little bit fitted - or maybe I'm just too fussy. They are going to be perfect for the Spring/Summer time and they go with anything. I also think the turned up hems are cute. :)
I thought I would add a buttoned shirt underneath the jumper which gives this outfit more of a "preppy" feel. I killed two birds with one stone really as both monochrome and heart patterned blouses are both on trend this season. This blouse is from New Look and has a boxy shape and short, turned up sleeves which you obviously can't see but I will probably wear it in another blog post. I am a sucker for collars poking out from underneath jumpers. Unfortunately, the blouse I am wearing must be sold out as it is no longer featured on the website, however, this is a very similar shirt but in burgundy.
On my feet, I am wearing Bass Weejuns Loafers. I bought these on E - bay from an American business shop and I paid about £45 for them. They are usually between £60 - £90 brand new (roughly!). They are so worth the money. They are comfortable and easy to walk in. I had been looking for a "proper" leather pair of loafers for a while around September last year and I came across these in the same month and couldn't resist. They literally go with anything, and being the colour black too. They look great with rolled up trousers and ankle grazers. I think they add a nice preppy, sophisticated touch to the outfit above. Again, unfortunately I couldn't find the exact same pair of Bass Weejuns, however, these are a similar pair. If you don't feel like breaking the bank, New Look have a great range of shoes with these loafers at the price of £34.99 and REAL LEATHER.
On my fingers, I am wearing skull rings. The amount of compliments I have received from friends, family and customers at work is unbelievable. I have never received as many compliments on anything like I have on these rings. These rings are very unusual and definitely make a statement. One is quite big and one is very sparkly so it catches the light. The big skull can be found here and the sparkly ring found here. That reminds me, I really need to purchase these two rings again for the other hand haha :).
Lastly, is my gorgeous dark purple coat from ASOS. I bought this in the sale about October time in 2012. I cannot remember how much I got it for, but I remember it was a bargain. I will be doing a blog post on my coats and jackets soon as I own enough to write about them haha :).
I hope this post has inspired you to purchase some pastel items and they're are some lovely pieces around! How are you styling your pastel colours this season?
Thank you for taking the time to read my post. This was the very first time I had my pictures taken for something like this, so I apologise for the sort of awkwardness, hopefully I'll improve haha :). Thank you to my lovely sister for taking the pictures for me.
Until next time,
Sommer xx
