Mint and Blue

Pastel colors make me happy. Whether it's mint, peach or blush, I always try to incorporate these shades into my wardrobe and everyday style. Aside from the fact that they give me that happy vibe, they are also highly versatile and can work with several different colors. One of my favorite ways to wear my favorite colors is to go for the monotone look, specifically pairing two items of the same color but of different shades or hues for my outfit. 


This cobalt pencil skirt I got from Persunmall has been a good investment piece. My favorite way to wear it is with sweater tops or long sleeved tops, like this new one from For Me. The sheer simplicity of the top belies the style statement it makes. I decided to throw in my pink necklace to add some dose of fun into the look. 

 What is your favorite way to style a pencil skirt?

    Love this! You look incredible! I prefer to style pencil skirts with a loose fitting button-up that really accentuates my waist line. What are your thoughts?

    I love pastels as well! So pretty and they totally do make me happy!! I think pairing them with a loose top untucked or tucked depending on the style is nice!!

    I don't think to pair different shades of the same color today. You did so flawlessly here! Mint and cobalt is a gorgeous combo. I'd call your skirt a mini more than a pencil! haha but I like to style similar skirts with a casual, looser top with a bit more coverage to let my legs do the talking!

    Love that you found a wall to match your top! I usually wear a looser fitting top with pencil skirts.
