An Unprecedented Passion for Pastels

It's weird how lifelong fashion prejudices can change just like that. Trends don't dictate my wardrobe, though of course they seep into it, but it's odd how, when there's a proliferation of a certain thing that you've always been completely averse to, you can see it with brand new eyes, so to speak.

The pastels that are around for this season, though, I'm finding truly delectable. There's a freshness, a vibrancy and just a general ice creamy loveliness about them. The current issue of Fashion156 is dedicated to them, and it's a real treat for the eyes.
