October Instyle Magazine showed some new ideas for Mixing and Included in that was Pastels with Zebra Print.

This Amimal Print lover couldn’t resist and ran to my closet immediately to seek out options!

So, starting with Lavender and Zebra.

 What a great way to winterize my lavendar skirt, I could add a jacket , tights and booties .

I’ve done this jacket with a more vibrant yellow, but love it with the softer color here.

When considering pastels. blue can’t be forgotten!

Mint is a very populare pastel this season and works great with zebra!

Can’t imagine doing a pastel this season without including pink!!!! 

I’ve got to say that I never would have thought of pairing these two ,but love the fresh new take on Zebra.

 i will be wearing these looks later in the season .

Dear Readers, I hope you found this as inspiring as i did.  Are you thinking of trying this pastel with Zebra Print?  If so which Pastel color would you choose?    What if you are not an aminal print lover or don’t have zebra print anything?

  Consider another black and white print mixed with a pastel?
