Styled: Pastel Pink

Posted in Fashion by goldfacedbetty on March 28, 2012

To continue through the pastel rainbow that is this spring, let’s look at every girly-girl’s fave colour — pink. Once again coloured denim seems to be the best way to incorporate some of spring’s best hues. For pastel pink don’t be afraid to try a feminine dress, my default is to choose lace. Or, opt for a monochrome look that was ever so popular last year, this time try different shades of pink to create an ombré look. If you’re a little wary of the girly colour, work some accessories into your wardrobe (ostrich leather is a must), or paint on OPI Pink Friday to pretty up your tips!

Ms. Green Jeans

I can always remember when I was younger visiting the Toronto Eaton Centre — the almighty of malls, being from Ottawa — and my sister and I begging my parents to bring us to Mr. Green Jeans for lunch. I don’t even remember if the food was good, but in my twisted child mind I think I believed that my mom used to serve there when she first studied fashion at George Brown (then located in Kensington and now the Kensington Market Lofts). Of course, she didn’t actually waitress there, but that’s all besides the point now.

Coloured denim, where do I begin. Last spring/summer/fall it was all a see of red, but now the denim has run free from it’s ruby roots and is turning to a more diverse palette. These Rag & Bone denim skinnies combine but two loves, colour and zippers. Moving into the warmer months of spring I’ll be opting for a more colourful wardrobe, leaving my shades of grey behind, for the most part. Let’s style this deep green jeans two ways and prep for the better months of the year. And don’t forget, this spring no outfit is complete without neon, duh!

It’s no surprise that we like short-shorts. I’m sure it’s been expressed many times, the shorter the better, unless it’s a maxi skirt. Well on a quest to complete my wardrobe (although it’s never really complete is it?) with coloured denim I came across a great buy.

These Forever 21 cuffed denim cut-off shorts are only $11 (on sale from $12.50).  Can’t wait to take these shorties to the island, park and patio once the sun decides to stay.  Time to cross your fingers and hope to see me prancing around in these babies soon.
