WTW: A Frabjous Mix

I'm thrilled at the colors in this fun necklace that is coming together. Bright and shiny beads in a multitude of Pantone 2016 tones blend perfectly with a huge vintage cloisonne pendant I had in the stash. I'm trying something new here with crimp beads on lightweight wire and definitely keeping my fingers crossed.

Outfit: Introducing Pastels Into Your Winter Wardrobe

I have been busy working on a new blog post for Pantone's 2016 colors of the year (see here) and wondered about how to start wearing these colors now. While it may be possible to find fashions warm enough to brave our chilly winters, I find mixing warm, rich colors like hot cocoa, mulled wine and deep tan with pastel accents much more comforting. Try a light scarf with your sweater, a pastel belt with a wool dress or, in this case, a beautiful piece of spring fresh jewelry (available at VintageCravens here) with winter's latest trends.
