Create a Staple Spring Wardrobe with Pastels

online stylist, spring outfit, shopping guide
As I mentioned before, one of the reasons I started this blog was to find a way to work as a "stylist" - to help others put together outfits.  Over the years, my blog has evolved, and I have realized that one of the things I love to do is put together outfits.  In creating outfits, I like to find ways to maximize what people own and help them strategically shop - for both the best deals and pieces that can be worn many different ways.

A few weeks ago, I shared a bright and colorful 15 pieces, and today, I am sharing a more pastel ones - with pinks, whites, and light greys.  I have built this collection around staple pieces like basic tees and skinny jeans.  I also added in a few trends like ruffles and girlfriend jeans.  In creating this staple 15 piece pastel spring wardrobe, I have tried to be budget-conscious by using pieces you might already have in your closet (like tees and jeans) - along with finding items that are under $50 (and a lot under $25) - and including only one item that is more expensive, which is these booties; however, I think these would be a staple that would get a lot of wear for the price.  Also, I did not include accessories like bags or sunglasses - but I shared some sunglasses under $12 and bags under $25 in this post, that would work perfectly with this color theme.

I really love this feminine, pastel palette.  And, I am already planning my next 15 piece wardrobe - that will pull in a lot of these pieces - but use a different color/pattern theme.

  5. So many of these lovely pieces speak to me. When I get emails from H&M, I go over and pin some of the new arrivals each time. Love that short gray cardi with the ruffles. And the pink top with the ruffled bell sleeves. Have pinned both. Need to make a run by our outlet store to visit H&M. Thank you for such feminine, easy inspiration.
