I love this outfit, when i first got the challenge i was like do i even own any pastels, as always i thought i was going to have improsise on the challenge, but after a look through my wardrobe, i came across this dress, which i recently got from Ebay, i loved the orange top and mushroom skirt, the colours worked really well together and weren't colours i would normally wear. I am very pale (my legs almost look translucent in these pictures) so pastels can wash me out, therefore i need to go slighter brighter with my pastels. For my mixed pastels i added a coral cardigan tucked into the belt at the back to make it into a shrug, left loose it took away from the dress. The dress does have a black band but to really bring out my waist i added a black belt . I added nude coloured pumps as i didn't want to overpower the outfit, they also add to the pastel shades and to finish off the outfit i added a long dragonfly necklace that has turquoise beads. This outfit just goes to show you really need to play around with your clothes, as what you wouldn't think can work, really can.
