Of florals and pastels

The abundance of floral prints and pastel colors in department stores nowadays makes it feel like Spring rather than Fall. Then again, we don't have the Fall season here in Manila, so maybe it's Spring in our 2-season calendar. 

This floral and pastel combination might be too frou-frou for some, but there's something refreshing about pairing a bold, floral shell with light colored pants.


What's nice about this floral rendition is the bold, thick lines that are used to draw the flowers. It makes it more graphic and less girly and sweet. The interplay of neon and citrus colors also make it stand out while still being cool to the eyes.


The salmon color of the pants echo some of the petals on the shell. This brings the look together and makes it look more cohesive.


This is such a nice combination and will definitely make the person wearing it bloom.
