The secret to fashion is a ‘balancing act’!
“The expression ‘balancing act’ is something we all relate to as we strive to find harmony in the frantic pace of our everyday lives,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. “The same can be said for fashion as we look for balance between light and bright, classic and new. This season’s color palette emphasizes this need for balance, while at the same time allowing for individuality, self-expression and excitement.” (Pantone Spring 2013 Colour Report)
Balance zesty nectarine and mint accents with light neutral blush for a fresh look that oozes gorgeous elegance and playful fun.
