Sweet Kicks: Pastel Flats for Spring

Now that it's March, I can officially start dreaming about pulling out some spring pastels. In the meantime, I have been rocking some pastel ballet flats to add a dose of freshness to my winter favorites.

A bright ballerina flat is the perfect statement piece that can change the overall look of an outfit, without being so overpowering that you don't get a lot of wear out of them. For those just starting out with adding statement flats into their wardrobe, investing in a sturdy pair of blush or light blue is a smart move as they'll go with most colors and patterns. To take your look to the next level, check out a bright lavender or a bold yellow, and consider playing with texture such as stud details, weaving or kitsch designs (see the sweet kittens below).
