Lighten Your Look With Pastels

{Preen}

Yes, it may still be winter. But must we always have to reach for the darker shades in our wardrobe when getting dressed just because it's cold outside? I am not sure where this theory developed but I am all for NOT following it. Of course it still may be too cold to wear light weight cotton and silk fabric, but I just want you to know that it is okay to lighten your look with pastels even though it is still winter! Check out these photos and videos from Preen and Alice + Olivia for some inspiration. Then check out my look at the end of this post to see how I managed to lighten my look and stay warm at the same time.
