Now, I'm much more of a soft dreamy pastel girl and less of a color blocking queen like Gary Pepper's <a href="http://garypeppergirl.com/"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Nicole</span></a> or Atlantic Pacific's <a href="http://atlantic-pacific.blogspot.nl/"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Blair</span></a> but a bright accessory here and there, bold stripes in voluminous silhouettes or bright jumpers set against my pastel looks...hmmmm I'm more than willing to try.</i><br /><i>xoxo</i><br /><i><br /></i><i>in the collage: <a href="http://www.bodenusa.com/en-US/Womens-Knitwear/Sweaters/WK932/Womens-Cashmere-Crew-Neck-Sweater.html?NavGroupID=6"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Light Blue Jumper</span></a>, <a href="http://www.bodenusa.com/en-US/Womens-Pants-Jeans/Pants/WM329/Womens-Bistro-Crop-Trousers.html?NavGroupID=19"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Red Trousers</span></a>, <a href="http://www.bodenusa.com/en-US/Womens-Knitwear/Sweaters/WK930/Womens-Cashmere-Colourblock-Sweater.html?NavGroupID=6"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Pink Jumper</span></a>, <a href="http://www.bodenusa.com/en-US/Womens-Knitwear/Sweaters/WK930/Womens-Cashmere-Colourblock-Sweater.html?NavGroupID=6"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Yellow Jumper</span></a>, <a href="http://www.bodenusa.com/en-US/Womens-Pants-Jeans/Pants/WM357/Womens-Chelsea-Turn-Up.html?NavGroupID=19"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Mint Trousers</span></a>, <a href="http://www.bodenusa.com/en-US/Womens-Shoes-Boots/Flats/AR603/Womens-Pointed-Slingbacks.html?NavGroupID=11"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Striped Slingbacks</span></a>, <a href="http://www.bodenusa.com/en-US/Womens-Knitwear/Cardigans/WK925/Womens-Striped-Cashmere-Cardigan.html?NavGroupID=6"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Striped Cardigan</span></a>, <a href="http://www.bodenusa.com/en-US/Womens-Accessories/Handbags,-Clutches-Wallets/AM210/Womens-Soft-Leather-Bowling-Bag.html?NavGroupID=1"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Mint Bowling Bag</span></a>, <a href="http://www.bodenusa.com/en-US/Womens-Accessories/Handbags,-Clutches-Wallets/AM205/Womens-Everyday-Shopper.html?NavGroupID=1"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Green Tote</span></a>, <a href="http://www.bodenusa.com/en-US/Womens-Coats-Jackets/Coats/WE422/Womens-Marylebone-Mac.html?NavGroupID=2"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Red Coat</span></a>, <a href="http://www.bodenusa.com/en-US/Womens-Shoes-Boots/Flats/AR602/Womens-Ballet-Flats.html?NavGroupID=11"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Color Block Flats</span></a>, <a href="http://www.bodenusa.com/en-US/Womens-Skirts/Mini/WG526/Womens-Full-Stripy-Skirt.html"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Striped Skirt</span></a>, <a href="http://www.bodenusa.com/en-US/Womens-Coats-Jackets/Coats/WE431/Womens-Spring-Trench.html?NavGroupID=2"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Yellow Coat</span></a>, <a href="http://www.bodenusa.com/en-US/Womens-Accessories/Handbags,-Clutches-Wallets/AM205/Womens-Everyday-Shopper.html?NavGroupID=1"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Silver Tote</span></a>, <a href="http://www.bodenusa.com/en-US/Womens-Accessories/Handbags,-Clutches-Wallets/AM210/Womens-Soft-Leather-Bowling-Bag.html?NavGroupID=1"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Yellow Bowling Bag</span></a>, <a href="http://www.bodenusa.com/en-US/Womens-Accessories/Handbags,-Clutches-Wallets/AM205/Womens-Everyday-Shopper.html?NavGroupID=1"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Fuchsia Tote</span></a></i><br /><i><br /></i><i>ps.<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"> <span style="background-color: white;">Code </span><span style="background-color: white;"><b>D47Q</b></span><span style="background-color: white;"> gives </span><span style="background-color: white;">20% off selected items plus free shipping</span><span style="background-color: white;"> from now through March 23, 2014</span></span></i>
