Appaza, the world has gone pastel-mad. I've been talking about them in various places for the last few weeks, but suddenly I feel a bit swamped by them. In defiance, I'm currently wearing a black horse print jumper over a blinding yellow flower print dress (a look I'm deeply loving - perhaps I'll post a pic laters).
The pale and pastels are utterly candy-floss cute in denim (love the SS12 collection
Warehouse look above, all in mint green), but will they look as yummy on a real woman as they do in the ad campaigns? Is this a trend to avoid? Keen to know what you think.
And in the meantime, if you're getting onboard with the craze, here are a few key pieces I might suggest...

Looks gorgeous but not even convinced I can carry off pale blue let alone pastel denim alas.
I think this may be one just for the super slim!
It looks good mixed with tougher colours. I've worn my shiny pastel pink tee with red jeans and that's quite a killer look. Not sure I would ever get away with separates all in pastel (would anybody??)
Hannah - I reckon the pale denim maxi dress could be a good one for a curvier figure. But the pale pink jeans require matchstick legs, fo' sho'.
I like the idea of it but the reality is that I'd probably look like I'd be wearing a denim nightie! Fat girls need structure to look good, unfortunately not voluminous pale denim with pleats!
Hmmm, it depends largely on colouring I think. And whether you see yourself as "fat" or "curvy". If you're pretty, fair, confident, and a plus size, a delicate denim maxi can actually look petty darn hot and flatter your shape perfectly - but that's just my opinion!
Yea, your probably right! You are the expert after all! Think the one above might be a bit much with its Peter pan collar but will look out for one with other necklines. Was being a bit tongue in cheek re 'fatty' I'm not sure a size 16 is really very fat! X
A size 16 is not fat. At all. Anyway, I'm no expert - I'm just a person who genuinely believes that you should wear any single trend you bloody well like regardless of age, size, gender, personality etc. There is always, always something that works - never say never before you've tried. Amen.
Totally agree!
I know I am a bit late on comments on this post but I'm still catching up - I agree that a size 16 is not fat and also if you are 5'10 and a size 16 and were scaled down to 5'1 you may find that you were a size 10 at that height with the same proportions - but not meaning to be sizist here either - its exactly as described - its your own intepretation on yourself that matters - don't put yourself down!
