CHANGYING

CHANGYING It's safe to say that Spring is in the air with pastels of every hue bursting out from SS12 collections. From mint green to soft, dusky pink, this super girly colour palette has grown up and is now the must-have sweet treat for any budding fashionista.

The question is how to incorporate this trend into your day to day wardrobe? Well, fear not, there are plenty of options ranging from all-out romantic, vintage glamour to delicate casual wear. And if you aren't sure that head to toe pastel is going to work for your colouring, then why not rock the look by simply carrying an over-sized vinyl leather handbag in a subtle, strawberry ice-cream colour or slipping your feet into a pair of sky blue ballet pumps?

For those ready to experiment, why not start with a cute daytime look of a sheer, peach pastel blouse paired with a flowing, pleated skirt in a contrasting shade such as lavender? Mixing colours and textures such as lace, silk and chiffon is one of the key ways to wear this trend - think feminine and relaxed when it comes to your silhouette. Adding delicate gold jewellery and nude heels will transform this look from day to night.
