S/S 2013: How to Wear the Pastel Palette

Weather reports by your local meteorologists may seem bleak (or hopeless in some places), but the fashion forecasters are predicting quite a colorful spring/summer 2013!

Designers are appealing to your girly, candy loving side this season, and we’re seeing an explosion of pink, mint, lemon, and baby blue on the runways. Mind you, these are muted hues, so the folks at Marie Claire recommends layering to achieve the full effect.

And don’t hang up your sequined stuff just yet! This summer, prepare to paint the town red in iridescent garb!

Mainly though, pastels dominated the runway; that’s why we rounded up our favorites from Shopbop. Not only are these blazers great for layering, we also love that they’re tailored (READ: awesome silhouette)! Try them on with your basic wear and discover how fab you’ll look with these in your fave jeans and t-shirt.

Happy shopping, ladies! Have fun giving trends your own twist!
