We Want: Icy Pastels
Pastels are a springtime mainstay, but for whatever reason, they look extremely appealing even during this, the depths of the worst months of winter. Perhaps we’re subtly being influenced by the color of the year, “Very Peri,” which according to Pantone, “displays a spritely, joyous attitude.” Since those qualities have been in short supply, why not seek them out in a color? (This look was also inspirational). We’ve tracked down 13 pastel pieces, from puffers to jewelry – and as an added bonus, most of it is on sale right now.
