How To Wear Pastels This Spring (I know!!) - But Look At This Maxi Dress!

I know what you are thinking!! Another pastel post?? Everyone is talking about pastels for Spring! But I really fell in love with this maxi dress when I saw this and had to create a look around it! I am thinking a cruise or a beach vacation in this outfit would be so perfect!!
More info about this look here
And who can resist a blush pink blazer? I'd pair it with a pair of chic printed shorts and floral shoes to really welcome spring! And add feather ear ring for extra dose of whimsy!
More info about this look here

I always say shoes are not the afterthought of an outfit, sometimes they create the whole look! Exhibit A- these pastel checkered bow flats that can inspire a lot of looks and outfits!! Pale blues, lilacs and blush rose - so perfect for spring and summer! 
More info about this look here
And this last look is just for the pastel kicks! I can't afford any piece featured here (this Alexander McQueen jacket alone costs more than $4,000!!!) but thanks to Polyvore we all can live our closet dreams:-)

Are you excited about the pale pastels? Or are you more of a bold color, bright hues, neon person?

    You have come up with some great combinations particularly the 2nd one with pink blazer ! I also love the last combination , the pink skirt one. Great ideas. And yes, thanks to Polyvore, we can own these virtually !
    About colors, I would say that I generally go for pastel tops with bright jewellery/ bright bottoms or bright tops with pastel bottoms ( haahaa :-) I try to have the best of both worlds ! )

    I like both bright colors (for their boldness) and pale pastels (for their subtle beauty). Just scrolling down this page makes me feel warm and fuzzy from the nice colors. Great post.

    Yay! I share your obsession for pastels so I was kinda giddy when I saw this dress! Love it! And I was wearing a blush colored blazer walking around Nordstrom yesterday and a sales person told me that they think it's the perfect color for all skin tones. Agreed!

    Thanks for commenting on my blog so I could find yours! Love it (great layout!)
