winter pastels

there’s something so fresh about pastels. especially in winter. it’s a no-brainer when we wear them in spring/summer. but when we decide to pull on a dose of pink or purple or sky blue in january it’s like a breath of fresh air. pair that pastel with white denim and it’s a double-dose of fun. i know, i know, many of you simply can’t bring yourselves to wear white denim in winter. and that’s perfectly fine – style is all about what YOU feel comfortable, and confident wearing. period. i’ve advised many women if you don’t feel like a boss when you stand in front of the mirror then don’t wear it. but, if you want to be nudged out of your comfort zone try white denim in january. it’s a safe bet, and many women have been rocking their winter whites for several seasons now. i added a pair of sparkly shoes to my ootd because we all know i want the items in my closet to work for me day-in and day-out. and they tied in perfectly with my reversible metallic puffer vest – the other side is black. a dash of leopard with my belt and i’m out the door ready for a few errands, and maybe i’ll squeeze in a cup of coffee as the temps are on the chilly side.
