Get the Look: Pretty in Pastel (Reader Request)

The idea for this feature actually came from a reader, who feels that fashion has been mostly bold colors or neutrals and wanted to see some pastels for a change. Pastels always remind me of spring, and several designers such as Burberry Prorsum, Versace, and Alberta Ferretti apparently agree. All three designers featured pastels as part of their Spring 2010 RTW collections, as pictured below. (Photo credit)

If you, like the reader who requested this feature, want to get in touch with your girlie side, check out all the soft, pretty colors below which should immediately evoke thoughts of spring. All of my picks retail for less than $100, and as always you can click on any photo to purchase.
