Neapolitan shades.

Pastels add pounds. The other day I learnt of how these sugary shades aren't a good option for people of a shorter stature, making you look larger. How absurd does that sound? I have always been a bit dubious towards the colours as it is, surprising for somebody who enjoys dressing as if they still attend play school. 
I've found them quite tricky to get right, purely down to the fact I think they can often cheapen an item and so the search is always quite hit and miss and when they are quite pallid hues, it seems they can pale skin look washed out. 
Nonetheless, I am coming round to the trend slowly, it's hard not to when it is everywhere. I'm especially loving mint and this dress from Cos suits me down to the ground. The grey breaks up the lighter hue, so perfect for people like me who are a tad timid with the trend and aren't brave enough to wear it from head to toe. 
The girl on the top right has created an adorable outfit making me realise that there is one thing I do appreciate about this trend and that is the ease in which these feminine ice cream tones can be mixed and combined.

Moodboard

Some clothing inspiration I have been slowly collecting from Pinterest and Tumblr whilst I have been laying around being ill.
 From printed matching suits, stripes and shirts, wide leg crops, long pleated plaid school skirts, layering skirts over dresses, fitted high waist capri pants in gingham .etc.

Happy Easter Holidays everybody, I hope you are all doing well and having a lovely weekend. I went to another quiz on Friday evening despite feeling so under the weather, I worked through the anguish and we came second place. 

On a side note, thank you to everybody who has found my blog and started following, reading regularly .etc. I really appreciate it and have reached over 300 followers in the last couple of days so thank you so much for that. I am very grateful and I'm glad it's something people enjoy reading. 

Hopefully I will be back to my normal self in a couple of days.

Moodboard: Light & Nature

The bleak chill fades, evenings become lighter and the future seems brighter in my mind. 

I always find it intriguing to observe the subconscious parallels created when I decide to make a moodboard and select photos. In retrospect, light I think is the theme here, for this one. 
Pastel mints, yellows & pinks, pure whites with a nod towards nature. Overgrown plants wildly creeping through the cracks in the pavement & potted plants basking by the windows. The same windows that flood the rooms with a natural light.

On a side note, I added Clemence & Astrid's image in at the top because of my love for the detail in both of their outfits; a delicate, jewelled indulgence. 

A befitting word of the day: 
Effulgent (adj.) shining brightly; radiant
