April 3 for $30 Challenge & Giveaway: Pastels

 

{Bedazzles After Dark || Diary of A Southern Belle || The Style Optimist}

Okay so I know you must be thinking I don't know what the heck pastels look like.. but I promise I do. If you look real close my fabulous Peter Pilotto for Target shoes and nails have pastel colors in them. The truth is I don't love the way pastels look on my skin tone so I had to make this challenge work for me and my style!

 

 

H&M Cobalt Blazer (very old but extremely similar at BooHoo)

Target Boyfriend Tee

Express "Stella" Jean Legging

Peter Pilotto for Target Slip On Sneakers (on clearance!)

Phillip Lim 3.1 for Target Handbag (splurge option at Net-A-Porter)

Sally Hansen "Mint Sorbet" nail polish || Vintage Sunglasses

 

I wore this outfit before I got my hair done in Raleigh a few weeks ago. It was so comfy and I can't believe how much this self-proclaimed heel lover is enjoying her slip-on sneakers! I'm even trying to figure out how I can wear them to work... I loved this blue pair so much that I got the black and white pair too (also on clearance!!)

 

As I mentioned before I don't know if a full head-to-toe pastels look is right for me, so when Candy challenged us to wear these Easter-like colors I decided to buck the norm and make this trend work for me. Nail polish is also another one of my favorite tricks to do when I'm a bit hesitant to dive head first into a new style. So I rocked my Mint Green nails with my pastel-ish muted yellow/green shoes. Just proof that you don't always have to conform ;)

 

The 3 of us are also hosting a giveaway for this fun 3 for $30 challenge including a $30 Visa giftcard! Woo-Hoo!! You can enter below!
