Pastel Paradise

There's still time to indulge in a sweet, romantic summer with these softly hued pieces at great low prices.

By Réneise Francis · August 1, 2013October 27, 2020
01
Snakey

A pastel pump paired with a wild skin adds a softer touch to a sassier shoe.

02
Gold Mine

Top off a simple crew neck T-shirt with an ornate necklace for a fun juxtaposition.

“Collar” necklace, Poppy Boutique, $30, poppyeboutique.com.

03
Watch Out!

Pastel arm candy makes for an oh-so girly touch.

“Mix It!” watches, Timex, $40 each, target.com.

04
Dreamy Dressing

Mix pastels and neons for a cooler contrast.

Colorblock halter dress, Victoria’s Secret Catalogue, $80, victoriassecret.com.
