S/S'12 Trends: Pastels + Lace





STYLE TIP: 
Layering pastels is a fun and easy way to add depth and interest.  
Here I chose soft pink and mint green.

 Lace Top - F21 (Similar ON SALE HERE)
Necklace - H&M (available in stores)
Pencil Skirt - H&M (Similar ON SALE HERE)
Heels - Lauren Conrad for Kohls (ON SALE HERE)
Bracelet - Gift
Clutch - Nordstrom

Pastels and lace overflowed the Marc Jacobs at Louis Vuitton runway...kicking off one of the season's biggest trends: romantic + sweet.  

The "30-something year old Marion" loves it.  
But the "7-year old tomboy Marion" kinda wants to barf.

What do you think about the romantic + sweet trend?

XO - Marion

Marion, I love the lace top. I actually purchased one from F21 a little while back, but haven't worn it yet. I definitely have it in the works to pair it with the same polka dot skirt from H&M you posted a week ago. Girl, I ran (really drove) to the only H&M in town to get that skirt...

Tomboy Kate still won't allow Right Now Kate to wear too-girly trends.
Whining aside, you really do look perfectly put together and lady-like. I adore this on you!

Holy gorgeous Marion! This entire outfit is so stunning. I bet you're turning heads. The lace, mint and pink are such a beautiful combination. BTW, thanks for telling us about the link ups, found some great bloggers and joined them as well :-)

I lOVE it!! Oh I'm going to have to go back to Forever 21 and look for a lace shirt like that! I got one a couple years ago and I've pretty puch worn the life out of it. Your skin look so pretty against pastels...especially the pink. I know, 7 year old tomboy Marion, I know you want to barf. But remember...real tomboys wear pink. :)

Hahaha I laughed at your comment about 30-something Marion vs 7-year-old Marion because I often feel the same way!!! This outfit is so feminine and lovely, I can totally see why your 7-year-old tomboy self would be shocked. :)
