Considering I'm not much of a girly girl, I do love a good bit of pastel in my wardrobe. I love how pastels are a subtle way to inject colour into your style without being too bold. Sometimes bright colours can make you feel a little self conscious, especially if you're not used to being overly daring with your outfit picks. By adding a touch of mint or coral you can really brighten up your look and if you pick he right pieces, you can even keep an edgier look. 

I think this is the first outfit that I have ever put together for my blog where I can honestly say I'm in love with every single piece. Not every piece is exactly affordable for us poorer folk, but they're also not completely unreachable money wise. This could be worn by the most feminine of females or even the slightly more street smart femme fatales. The only down side for me is the white jeans, don't get me wrong I love them and I love the way they look, but if you're on the larger side like me, you have to find the right pair or disaster will strike. Some white jeans have a nasty habit of showing every cake, cookie and muffin you have ever eaten, all sitting comfortably on your hips. It is possible to find a flattering pair I promise, it just takes a little longer. Oh! and don't forget the all important white underwear, nobody wants the pattern of their Cookie Monster knickers to be on show.   

How do you feel about pastels? Are you as cautious about white jeans as I am?
