Pastels, How to Wear It and Where to Get It in Royal Oak

Pastel perfect

Here are the perfect options and styling tips that can be found right here in Royal Oak. 

• Juicy jeans: Spring and summer is all about color this year. Grab some fun jeans and a bright blazer for a work appropriate look or pair pastel denim with a gray sweater or ankle boots to be casually clad on a gloomy day. It will perk your mood right up. 
• Baby blues: Layer a chiffon dress under a sweet cardigan, leather or denim jacket and pair it with ankle boots. When the weather warms up switch out the boots for sandals and lose the jacket. 
• Punch up basic black: Make a statement with an all black outfit accessorized with a pastel clutch or a chunky citrine necklace. 
• Lavender accessories: Lavender accessories are completely unexpected. Lavender Hunter boots are perfect for puddle jumping or great for walking around town. The feminine shade is also great for statement jewelry.
