STYLE STORY: FALL PASTELS

Who else wears pastels in the Fall?

It's too common for many to avoid pastels after Labor Day. Most people switch out their closets and put their Spring or Summer pastels in storage. But I think that it takes away from the style opportunities you have to make the most out of your entire wardrobe year-round.

One trick I learned over the years for styling pastels in the fall is to pair the pastel piece with colors in the same family.

For example, with this look I paired a pastel pink skirt with a burgundy red top. Another example is by pairing pastel blue with navy blue like I wore on Windy City Live last year.

The next trick is to add Fall neutrals - Black, Grey, Gold, Camel - to the mix to complete the look.
