I don't know about you but I find that sometimes the pastel trend can be a bit daunting. Most trends which make their way into high-street stores I find are relatively easy to wear in some way or another. But with this one it's different. Whether it's because I'm living in Wales and the weather we get dictates the colour clothes I wear (as in dark autumnal colours and black) or it's the risk of walking around like a giant marshmallow or a drumstick lollipop, I have found myself avoiding the pastel trend like the plague. I thought by the time the A/W collections came into store last year it would be the last I saw of pastel clothing. But no. It's come back again and I feel that this time I really should give it a go seeing as it's going to be sticking around longer than I thought.

I've been browsing Pinterest for some pastel outfit inspiration and I came across some amazing 60's fashion photography featuring pastel garments. Although I don't think the head-to-toe pastel look is for me, unlike blogger Charlotte Fisher from Things I do, think and buy who manages to pull it off so well every time.

So instead here are some images which are tempting me to delve into the trend by wearing one statement pastel garment.
