Mint Condition(ing) Fatshion Insider for Skorch Magazine

Check out my latest piece for Skorch Magazine! I'm talking pastels...


New Yorkers are known for existing in a constant state of ‘cool’ but I really can’t imagine how it will be possible to walk around without a cheesy smile plastered across one’s face because spring 2012 all about color. And, color makes you happy. From bright saturated hues to pale pastels, I’m sort of convinced that soon cities across the globe will look like one big Skittles commercial, “taste the rainbow”…and I love it!
I’m all about a pop of color so, the bright hues aren’t really anything new to me. However, I’m completely caught up in the whimsy of all of the pastels making their way into nearly every retailer. Over the last few months we’ve even seen pastels pop up in people’s hair (swoon)! Though you may have visions of your grandmother’s Easter suit when you think of dressing in pastel colors (hmm, was that just me?), there are so many really cool modern takes on how to incorporate them into your wardrobe. Imagine how fun color blocking lavenders and mint greens with beige and coral will be.
Below are a few must haves on my list! While you may not dye your hair like the fab Kelly Osbourne below, a great pair of skinny jeans, a chunky sweater, a dress, perhaps even sexy shoes in Cadbury colors are a worthy investment!
