Winter Pastels (& Win My Scarf!)

We all know about those archaic style rules that no longer apply to today's modern girl: no white after labor day, no mixing metals with jewelry, matching your bag to you shoes, blablabla. Ugh, how boring! I'm all about breaking rules and I tend to gravitate towards the unconventional, generally speaking, so on a day where Central Park could have easily been mistaken for a snow globe, I wanted nothing but to gallivant about the rare NYC winter wonderland scenery donning my finest winter pastels. There was something so magical about blending in with the ethereal backdrop, the tiny snowflakes delicately falling from the romantic grey sky. It was visually poetic, truly.

However gentle the flakes were, it didn't do much for my lid, which, as you can tell, is sopping, but that was hardly the point of taking advantage of the outdoors and capturing what could be considered wintertime camo. Fashion is fun and being a little bit rebellious with the old rules not only felt completely natural, but it just confirmed yet again that yesteryear's sartorial doctrines are nothing but antiquated.

So next time snow hits your area, don't be shy to reach for your best soft pink top, dusty blue trousers, white denim, seafoam green scarf and stroll along with your head held up high and your face plastered with a knowing grin that you are indeed a rebel with a cause...

And SPEAKING of seafoam green scarves: I liked mine so much that I wanted to give one of you the chance to enjoy it too! I teamed up with the lovely people of Bindya to make sure one of my readers could also partake in winter pastels (and spring, and summer, and fall!)...
