Pastels for Winter

Fall has been amazing here in the Buff!

We've had plenty of warm days, days I've been able to get out in the sunshine and run, or cycle.

It's now turning... which I am ok with, it is November!

This morning was cold and frosty!

 

Fall is a time to wear warm, rich colors and now as we shift into winter, pastels can re-enter the wardrobe.

 

Fall is warm.

Winter is cool.

 

Cool lends itself perfectly to pastels.

 

For me, peach and pink are great winter pastels.

I love peach with olive green and I love pink with brown. 

 

A pastel with a winter color = good combo!

 

I think as long as you go softer, more muted than you would in the spring, pastels work.

 

Here are some color combos for your pastel inspiration... via design seeds.  Yuum right?  I love these winter photos, they make me feel all cozy!

 

 

Here is my winter pastel look.

I went with peach.  I have these pants that have just a hint of gold glitter in them.

I kept both top and bottom the same color... unusual for me!

 

I love this lacy top, I definitely needed a jacket to keep me warm!

I sported some animal print shoes, but you could sass this up with heels for an evening look.

Olive and Gold

The days are turning colder now.

We have had such a great run of summer-like days this fall.  I have loved it.

This was my only 'summer skirt' that I didn't put away.

This works nice for fall too, if it's warm.  I got one last wear in before I boxed it up.

I wish I'd have photo'd the back of this shirt, it's pretty and lacey.

It's a nice after thought... and gives people something to look at as you walk away right?
 

I'm so into this little necklace this year.  I made it this spring.

These linen and gold shoes were a great match for this look.
And, I'm sort of into this red-ish eyeshadow.  What do you think?

It's easy, but people still tell me I look fancy when I wear stuff like this... mostly the little girls on the street, they are people right?
 

It's Friday!  Yea!  I've been so busy with photography this week.  I have mountains to edit this weekend.  I think I'll get my long run in today so I can enjoy my Saturday!  What are you doing?
 

A Walk Through the Fields

I'm feeling like it's time for a hair change.

I need to take some length off, and I'm feeling like it's fall so I'm gonna go darker.

What do you think?

I do have withdrawals if I take out too much blond.  My hair has just always been blond.

Change is good!

 

Maybe this... light in the front darker in the back.

Or ombre?

 

Do you know that I used to have dark hair?  It was like 5 years ago!

 

Yep, I think I'll make a call today!

 

This is a summery top that didn't get worn this year.  Insert the trusty cardigan and walla... fall look!

This top reminds me of a sunset, in a golden field.

I like it, but I think it's too short for me.

I think this is the last time I'll be wearing it.

I'm setting up a little account to sell my clothes online.
