3 Looks:
Mixing
Pastels
There's nothing quite as feminine (or summer-y) as sweet, ice-cream flavor hues. Here, we married a few of our most-loved ones, and turned out some pretty rad combinations.
Look 1
Use heather grey in lieu of black for a softer—but still neutral—effect.
Look 2
Think of these as the less saturated (and less Christmas-y) version of complementary colors like red and green.
Look 3
These pastels are roughly in the same color family, but varied textures make it look more complex and interesting.

Elise: Today, we're going to talk about three ways to layer pastels with pastels.

Elise: In this first look, Diana's wearing a pale blue, almost egg-blue, skirt. It's proper, it's very ladylike, it's very feminine, but she's countered it with a heather-gray sweatshirt just to make it a little bit cooler and more unexpected.
In this next look, Diana's paired a grapefruit pair of jeans that are cool and zippered with this minty green top. In their more saturated version, these two colors, green and red, are actually complementary. They go really well together, but that would be an overwhelming statement. In pastel, it's muted and it still seems harmonious.
In this final look, Diana's doing lilac and coral, full on. It's all roughly in the same color family, but as you can see she has a tweed paired with a twill paired with silk. The variation of textures, and the shot of coral, just make it feel really thoughtful and pulled together.
Thanks so much for watching. For more tips and tricks, come hang out with us on www.beso.com.
