Who says winter has to be bleak. Yes, I know that pastels typically make their appearance in spring, and yes, strictly speaking many of these clothes could be worn in warmer weather. But I live in a world where everything is candy coated, all year round. As far as I’m concerned, soft and pretty colours never go out of style. So I’ve picked some of my favourite mix & match pieces on the high street this winter. Grab some chunky tights, layer up and stay pastel pretty all winter long! What’s your favourite piece?
