Style tip? The Pastel Colors you’re seeing in stores are a sign that Spring is on it’s way.  How to wear them?  If you’re dark skinned, pastels are a natural - they provide a beautiful contrast to your skin tone.  But for those of you who have fairer complexions, pastels can wash you out.  Two solutions for our fair skinned friends: (1) pair your pastels with a brighter color (like the pictured sweater over the light pastel shirt), or (2) wear your pastels with a tan (or bronzer).

P.S. Pastel colors aren’t just for women.  Guys, if you want to be adventurous, you can try a lilac (or salmon pink) shirt for work or for play.

Next question: Like Pastel Colors, Gingham Check fabric is a harbinger of Spring.  Tell us, would you wear Gingham?  Cast your vote on the sidebar!
