Just when you were starting to think Fall’s biggest trends may be too wild or edgy for you, I’m here to present the fourth of my Top Five Fall Trends – ‘Softer Side’.  Meaning pastels are no longer just doomed to the Spring season – in fact, this Fall they’re taking on a whole new lifeā€¦

The feeling here is plenty ladylike but still a little bit quirky.  Meaning feel free to wear those pretty pastels, but mix in a fun animal print or a fun accessory (here, my flats and mini cross-body bag).  And the number one rule with making pastels work for Fall is carefully placing them next to a “true Fall” color.  So soft pinks next to classic camel.  Or baby blue paired with deep charcoal (both incredibly easy to pull off).  Or go a bit bolder and try lilac with oxblood, or mint green with rich navy.  Have fun with this one.  I know I’m going to.
