How To Wear Pastels In The Winter

During cooler months (and warmer months too!) I gravitate towards neutrals & darker hues, but it’s fun to mix things up every now and then.

Outfit Details: Ambiance Apparel Cardigan (similar here), Icon Apparel Cami (similar here), & Tassel Earrings (similar here, here & here) c/o Gordmans, Yelete Leggings, D&Y Scarf, GG Belt, Mellow World Purse, Hunter Boots

Besides the obvious springtime I also LOVE wearing pastels during the winter. A fresh coat of snow makes for the perfect backdrop to really show off a pretty pastel look.

Tassel Statement Earrings

I get so many complements on these light pink & gold tassel earrings (similar here, here & here) every time I wear them. I can hardly believe I found them at my local Gordmans for only $3! They’re easily my favorite pair thanks to how light they are, how well they match my skin tone so I can wear them like a neutral, and I love the gold detailing. Fun statement earrings are an easy way to add a touch of pastel to your winter outfits. I also love these hoop shaped tassel earrings, dream catcher earrings, lavender earrings, and these rainbow tassel earrings.

Pastel Plaid Scarf

My Mother-In-Law gifted me this scarf for Christmas (you can the scarf she gifted me last year here) and I love the pale pink, baby blue, and light brown this softer than cashmere scarf has. Layering in a scarf for warmth during the winter is a no-brainer, but choosing a pastel scarf is a fresh take on this classic cold weather staple.

Pastel Chain Purse

This pretty blue purse adds just the right amount of color/cheerfulness to an otherwise basic cardigan & leggings look. Plus, I love the way it brings out the pale blue color in this scarf.

All of these pastel pieces (earrings, scarf, purse) are accessories since they’re so easy/inexpensive to incorporating into any winter wardrobe. Another option but it’s a lot more cost/commitment is a pastel coat. Love this pink belted coat, this pink wool blended one, and this teddy coat that comes in pastel blue.

Love how this GG belt elevates my basic pair of leggings plus matches the gold chain on my purse. Win win!

I hope these ideas will help breath some fresh life into your neutral wardrobes this winter!

    Girl you are SO gorgeous!!! I admit…I’m not a huge fan of the cold, but you are correct…the snow is such a perfect backdrop for pastels, and just about everything else as well. Hope your week is off to a great start friend!

My Mother’s Day started at 4am with a nursing baby My Mother’s Day started at 4am with a nursing baby in my arms, a toddler crawling into my bed and falling asleep on my shoulder, & a doggie sleeping across my legs. 💕 They have no idea what today is, but I’m feeling so blessed to be surrounded by all my babies on Mother’s Day 👶🐶👧 Even if it was at 4am 🥱

Not pictured our dog Sydney. 🐶 I’m so tired I didn’t even notice until after we got these pictures 🤪 I knew I was forgetting something! 🙈
