How To Wear Pastels This Spring (I know!!) - But Look At This Maxi Dress!

I know what you are thinking!! Another pastel post?? Everyone is talking about pastels for Spring! But I really fell in love with this maxi dress when I saw this and had to create a look around it! I am thinking a cruise or a beach vacation in this outfit would be so perfect!!

And who can resist a blush pink blazer? I'd pair it with a pair of chic printed shorts and floral shoes to really welcome spring! And add feather ear ring for extra dose of whimsy!

I always say shoes are not the afterthought of an outfit, sometimes they create the whole look! Exhibit A- these pastel checkered bow flats that can inspire a lot of looks and outfits!! Pale blues, lilacs and blush rose - so perfect for spring and summer!

And this last look is just for the pastel kicks! I can't afford any piece featured here (this Alexander McQueen jacket alone costs more than $4,000!!!) but thanks to Polyvore we all can live our closet dreams:-)

Are you excited about the pale pastels? Or are you more of a bold color, bright hues, neon person?

Style Inspiration - Betty Draper From Mad Men

In my opinion, Mad Men is probably the best show right now on TV! I love this series for the complex plot, the journey of evolution of advertising, the relationships among the characters, the narrative of changes in the American pop culture and society and THE FASHION!! Oh, the fashion and style of Mad Men and women! I have watched the show and rented the complete season DVDs and still can't get enough of the Mad Men style! I am so looking forward to March 25 when the Season 5 of Mad Men debuts! One of my favorite styles from Mad Men is of January Jones' cigarette loving, enigmatic, sometimes childish, 60's housewife character - Betty Draper!
Her style staples are full skirted dresses, sheaths, florals and botanical prints, fitted cropped pants and structured handbags! And occasional floor length gowns she gets to wear in the important (yet boring) parties!!
