Pastel Hues...wear them this Spring!

Okay, it's official!  I'm so over winter!  I am fed up with this dreary, cold weather and am so looking forward to some spring weather!  Being snowed in today isn't helping of course!  So with this in mind, I'm going to talk about some of the lovely pale, pastel hues that are going to make you yearn for the spring even more!  Give your jeans and T-shirts a rest and instead welcome spring's sweetest and most relaxed way of dressing in pretty colors.  As shown on the recent runways by designers such as Celine and Donna Karan, seductive silks, floaty chiffons in the most feminine colors will have you yearning for springtime like never before.  Warm weather dressing at its best, these fluid and effortless pieces should be styled with minimal accessories and subtle makeup.  Here are some of my shopping picks for the season in lovely, soft, pastel colors...
