Pretty in Pastel

It's Easter Sunday, and I'm feeling "in the pink." In fact all of fashion is feeling Spring's softer side.  There is an easy elegance to these chic colors.  I do fancy a soft hue or two, but I love to pair them with black.  So today, still in the Easter mood, I bring to you all things pretty in pink, lovely in lavender, and beautiful in blue.

HERE: 15 Pretty Pieces
