Pretty in Pastels!

Hi Ladies!

January: The 'Monday' of months.

 Let's be honest, although we all love the idea of a new year and a new start, January is one of the toughest months of the year; we all go back to work, its really cold, everyone is broke from spending way to much over the festive season and it breaks our hearts having to take down the last of the Christmas decorations BUT here at Recessionista HQ we have decided to try to cheer you up!

Presenting.... Pretty in Pastels!!

Okay, okay so that's just the name of this post but it will cheer you up as we are on a mission to find 20 pastel pieces under €20 so you (and your bank account) can thank us later! Pastels creeped their way into our Winter wardrobes in the form of accessories with the occasional mohair jumper thrown in for good measure, but they are set to takeover our spring/summer 2014 shopping bags as they were huge on the catwalks of every fashion week known to man a few months back!

The great thing about pastels in the Spring time is they kind of ease us out of our black and grey winter comfort zone and prepare us for the always bright (sometimes neon) and floral summer styles, so here we go, 20 pastel pieces for under €20.......enjoy!
