PASTELS AT ANY AGE January 17, 2013 There’s something about pastels that always makes me feel younger – the playful, soft colors would make anyone feel more feminine. Pastels can be both exciting and subdued, which makes them easy to wear at any age. The younger looks play up the shades with fun accessories, while the ensembles for the 40/50 age group focus on accessories that downplay the look for an elegant twist. PS – does anyone else love the monochromatic/all-one-color look? Such a chic trend! I’m currently on a path to do that with red. So obsessed! 20’s – Equipment blouse, Raoul shorts, 3.1 Phillip lim bag, Jacquie Aiche necklace, Rebecca Minkoff sandals 30’s – Tibi dress, Proenza Schouler bag, Yigal Azrouel vest, Shourouk earrings, Stella McCartney pumps 40’s – Miu Miu blouse and pants, KORS Michael Kors pumps, Alexander Wang bag 50’s – Stella McCartney blazer, Carven skirt, Botkier bag, Ben-Amun earrings, Tom Binns necklace, Alexander Wang pumps Shop The Post Share Subscribe ➞ 16 comments Kimberly says: January 17, 2013 at 6:45 am OMG – totally in love with this post and all these ideas…if only I could afford it all! :) http://www.pennypincherfashion.com Reply thestylescribe says: January 17, 2013 at 9:22 am which look is your favorite?

Reply Kodi says: January 17, 2013 at 9:13 am Absolutely love the 20’s outfit — possibly because that’s the category I fall into! Also love both earrings on the board, and the shoes from the 50’s! Makes me want spring! Reply thestylescribe says: January 17, 2013 at 9:23 am Yeah, my faves are the 20’s and 30’s – definitely more fun! Reply Chelsea says: January 17, 2013 at 9:37 am That miu miu blouse is just killer! I hated pastels until about a year ago. They really have to be done just right. My favorite is mixing them with pieces that are a little edgy. Gorgeous styling! xo Reply Carla says: January 17, 2013 at 10:16 am Love pastel colors! Can’t wait to rock them this upcoming spring. Loving that 20’s outfit and the beautiful accessories on the 30’s one. – Carla Reply Joyce says: January 17, 2013 at 10:26 am That yellow blouse is to die for! I love monochromatic dressing…very editorial! Reply nancy @ adore to adorn says: January 17, 2013 at 12:30 pm Love pastels. I have to admit though that I love it now but I didn’t before. Mainly because I didn’t like how it looked against my pale skin tone. But, I have found ways to style around that so I don’t feel so self-conscious about it. Granted, I don’t own a lot of pastels still but they do offer much more chicer options than they used to as well! =) I also adore the monochromatic look. It’s so chic when done right! xo, nancy Reply Albertina says: January 17, 2013 at 2:58 pm Ha! love all four ensembles and would wear them all even if I wasn’t in the proper age bracket. Such great combinations! Reply Kayla says: January 17, 2013 at 4:28 pm AH! I love that Tibi dress! SO cute!

I’d even wear it now, and I’m in my 20s! Oh, and I agree with you: the monochromatic look is so chic, especially in red! You should make that a post next week with your new red YSL bag! That’d be killer. Reply Julie Leah says: January 17, 2013 at 7:01 pm I’m in my twenties but the 30s look is definitely my favorite :) Love a simple dress like that! This round-up is so good, lady! Reply Janet says: January 18, 2013 at 12:13 am I’ve been trying to do monochromatic! Still haven’t gotten it perfect yet haha I absolutely adore your outfit sets : ) http://www.uniqueindie.com Reply Adiel says: January 20, 2013 at 1:23 pm Love the pieces you’ve picked here!
