When the lovely ladies at Style Compare contacted me asking if I'd be up for styling a pair of pastel jeans for their new styling challenge on their blog, Style Platform, I couldn't want to get stuck in! With pastels being one of my favourite (and one of the most wearable) trends for this spring/summer and jeans being my ultimate go to (as you probably know...) I was keen to have a rummage in my wardrobe.
With the last time I'd worn jeans this bright being when I was about 14 and channelling the Klaxons 'Nu Rave look' I was determined not to revisit that 'style' phase in my life and make them look a little more ladylike and dare I say 'trendy'. In the end I went with the full blown sorbet candy-esque look. An outfit certainly fit for the sunny weather (apparently the cloudier it is the brighter your clothes look), I chose a crisp collared peplum top and my new 80's style peach jacket with my Topshop chunky heels- for a more 'grown up' (and tall) edge. I can't wait to play around with these jeans and style them with oversized t shirts, chunky necklaces and mannish brogues to trial all the ways they can be worn!
Additionally, there's also a vote currently for your favourite look on the blog, so you can vote for your favourite to win an awesome voucher (and for their readers!)- I'd really appreciate it if you could head over and click the button here, or alternatively vote for one of the other gorgeous girls- everyone looked amazing!
How would you style pastel jeans?

You have no idea how happy I am when you pop up on my dashboard! You always look so regal and beautiful Olivia, please dress me. I'm off to go wallow in self pity.. I joke I joke.. but you are suuper lovely! I've not owned a pair of jeans, let along pastel, in about six years plus! I really hate how they fit my thunder thighs!
ReplyDeleteLots of Love,

The trousers are so lovely!! The colour of them is amazing!!xx
ReplyDeleteThis is stunning. The blue/green of the jeans and the peach jacket compliment each other perfectly. They'd look gorgeous with an oversized blouse and short collar necklace with heels for a dressed up look. Need to get my hands on a pair of these pronto!

love these jeans. I've been wearing my mint pastel jeans loads. i also just bought some bright pink jeans which i LOVE.
ReplyDeleteZara have some amazing pastel shades in right now, my sister just got a lemon sorbet colour pair and they're lush.
Out of interest do you have a tripod and use timer, or do you have a trusty family member on hand to take your snaps?

This outfit is beautiful. The top and jacket are my favourites, so lovely. I wish I could pull off peach.. x
ReplyDeleteI think this is actually my favourite outfit on your blog - I love everything about it! I cant wait to get into some pastel jeans this summer (as soon as the baby's born, haven't seen any maternity coloured jeans!). Adore the green colour.
ReplyDeleteHey I still listen to Klaxons :) Brings back memories of seeing them live.
ReplyDeleteNever thought I'd like aqua blue trousers but you are working them well! Unexpected combo too
It would be mine
Those jeans are such a spectacular colour on you. x

Your hair looks fabulous! I just simply have to get this top, although I don't know that it'll flatter me as well as it does you.
ReplyDeletex D
aww you look so amazing :)) I love your hair! x
ReplyDeletePastels are my all time favourtie. I wish I wore jeans well enough to get myself a pair!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all: these jeans look amazing on you! The colour is divine and I love how you styled it with the orange jacket, so bold and stylish! I voted for you and your pretty look! :)
ReplyDeleteEhm, I wouldn't wear pastel jeans at all, as pastels are rather unflattering for curvy people, I think I would have to loose some pounds on my thighs first to pull off such a colour ;)
How to do your hair, it's amazing! What products, curlers etc do you use? It's so voluminous! I'm jel, i want your hair! x
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I've never found your blog before, it's amazing!! These jeans look fantastic on you =D I'm about to take part in a styling post for Matalan with pastel coloured jeans too, and I'm getting some a very similar colour to yours, so this is brilliant inspiration!! =)
ReplyDeleteI voted for you in the contest - all the girls look lovely though!
I'm following you now, I absolutely love your blog - I can't wait to see more from you =)
