Pretty in Pastels: How to wear Spring/ Summer 2012′s Hottest Trend

Pastels are huge beginning with spring and into summer 2012. Guess who’s ready to jump on the bandwagon? Yep – me! I’m usually down for any trend that’s overly girly and feminine, so this is right up my alley. I suggest, as with most trends (neon, anyone?), mixing it with neutrals. That means black, camel, cream and grey – to name a few. Here are some ideas for how to wear spring/ summer 2012′s hottest trend – pastels:

1. Amrita Singh Casey Bib Necklace ($175)
2. Jessica Simpson Ballet Slipper ($109)
3. Afternoon Uptown Trench ($89.99)

1. See by Chloe Shift Dress (On sale for $173.25!)
2. Pastel Skinny Belt ($10.91)
3. Color Block Ballet Flats ($45.45)
4. High Waist Extreme Pant ($25.45)

1. Steve Madden Platform Sandals ($109.95)
2. Marbled Marvel Dress ($59.99)
3. Essie Polish in Mint Candy Apple ($8)
4. Rebecca Minkoff Handbag ($495)

Which is your favorite? Personally, I’m excited to try pastels with grey this spring because I think it gives the cotton candy colors a little touch of edge.

And sometimes, the easiest way to incorporate a trend into your style is with accessories. These are some of my favorite pastel accessories that I have stumbled across:
J Crew pastel orange bubble necklace ($150)
ASOS Pastel Sea Foam Green Loafers ($69.08)
ASOS Pink Loafers ($63.63)
