Inspiration Monday #2: Pretty Pastels

Hello again friends!

Well, Spring has finally sprung and I couldn't be more excited! Its time to bring out the sundresses, get the barbecues ready and enjoy the lovely, warm sunshine. To welcome this beautiful season, I thought it was only fitting to make pastels the theme for todays 'Inspiration Monday' post!

Oh Pastels..

  This ever so feminine and beautifully classic colour palette has made a huge comeback in the past few years with the contemporary interpretation of this 1950's phenomenon. These soft colours are high in intensity but low in saturation which means they are bright colours but appear quite pale.

Tip: Its a good idea to consider pastels when decorating your home or when creating outfits as its an easy way to introduce colour without having to be bold.

I just adore this timeless trend. There's something about it that makes me want to reminisce over lemonade, ice cream and running through lawn sprinklers in the summers. It reminds me of innocence and laughter. I cant even glance at these soft, milky hues without them leaving a smile on my face.

So what do you think of this candy coloured trend? As always, you can check out my pastels Pinterest board for more ideas and inspiration!

Be sure to check out last months post for my thoughts on the geometric trend too!

Have a wonderful week
