I love Pale Blue, for some strange reason I don't actually own anything in this color. This last season, I suppose that blush was just easier to find in clothing items I felt fit niches in my closet. But I think I actually like pale blue better. And pale green is my all time favorite. But, Fashionable Reader I digress.
Pale blue is also a delightfully vintage color.
I think one of the reasons pale blue came into trend this summer was because of the prevalence of lady like and retro looks on the runways and off.
Don't want to wear an entire outfit of pale blue? Here are a few accessories:
To adapt into fall/winter I'd pair this color with black, as a practical option, navy for a little edge, or brown if I wanted a late 1960's early 1970s feel.
And, of course, this wouldn't be a Gail blog without some . . .
A look into Ivy wardrobe, after the events in Timeless. First, something for a dinner party:
And something for visiting hours.
And something for a ball.
And for underneath . . .
And later on, something for Primrose to wear.
Thats all for today! Here's hoping you have a lovely peaceful romantic pale blue sort of Thursday, Fashionable Reader.
