Pastels are My Friends

I'm not normally a pastels kind of girl. When pastels roll around again in fashion, this equation usually comes front of mind: Pasty skin + Not a size 10 + Not 23 = YOU WILL LOOK TRAGIC IN PASTELS

So, I generally avoid them.

But this year, I have decided to decode pastels and try to make those bastards work for my body/skin tone/advanced age. Rather than source a garment from every colourway, I shall embrace blue and work it back with tan, white and gold. Here is what I have found so far on my online travels...
