OOTD: Pastels for Spring + Pantone's Colours of the Year 2016




With Spring in full bloom, I thought it would be appropriate to share with you a Spring-inspired OOTD. As you all probably know I love my neutrals but with warmer weather on the way and the sun burning hotter each day which I personally don't like, I'm trying to incorporate more pastel-inspired pieces into my outfits and wardrobe. Additionally, this casual outfit was inspired by this year's Pantone Colours of the Year - Rose Quartz and Serenity. 

Also, if you're interested these are how the Executive Director of the Pantone Colour Institute described each colour.

Rose Quartz: The soothing, calming nature of colours in the Spring collections are led by PANTONE 13-1520 Rose Quartz, a persuasive yet gentle tone that conveys compassion and a sense of composure. Like a serene sunset, flushed cheek or budding flower, Rose Quartz reminds us to reflect on our surroundings during the busy but light-hearted spring and summer months.

Serenity: Weightless and airy, like the expanse of the blue sky above us, PANTONE 15-3919 Serenity comforts with a calming effect, bringing a feeling of respite even in turbulent times. A transcendent blue, Serenity provides us with a naturally connected sense of space.
