  1. Courtney,
    The timeliness of this piece was spot on with Easter and the start of the spring season. As someone who wears a lot of neutrals, I found this article to be particularly helpful in describing how I can incorporate pastels into my daily wardrobe. I especially liked how you showed that you can rock pastels without looking like an “Easter egg,” and thought that the lace blazer in mint paired with black ripped shorts and edgy accessories was a very fresh perspective on pastels. Great piece!
