These inspirational watercolor looks will keep you hanging on until the seasons change so you can wear your favorite pastel pieces once again.  

If you’re lucky enough to live in a warmer winter climate, then these watercolor looks are some you can wear right away. Up north, however, is a much different story. And for that, we feel for you! Fortunately, there’s nothing wrong with a little pre-planning, daydreaming, and early shopping to get you geared up to don these soft, pastel hues. There’s nothing like a little virtual window shopping to help banish cabin fever, especially when those clothes take you away to a warm place near the water with plenty of sunshine.

1. Dip-Dyed Babydoll Dress

Ethereal and sweet, this babydoll dress is a watercolor lovers delight! The dip-dyed white bottom and frayed sleeves add just the right amount of detail to the feminine silhouette. Perfect for beachside wear, or in the city for a yummy brunch with friends, this dress would work well in a variety of settings. Pair it with leggings, skinny jeans, or wear the dress on its own. Flats, espadrilles, and even ankle boots would work well with this beautiful piece. Priced at $138.

2. Riding The Waves Pants

Talk about striking pants! These laid-back bottoms are a delicious cotton candy resort look that can take you from poolside cabana to cocktail hour with the right accessories. The watercolor-inspired pastels would pair well with neutrals, or with a hue inspired by the design itself. Halter tops, tanks, and lightweight gauze tops would be ideal, as would shoes ranging from sandals to sexy stilettos. Priced at $265.

3. Peach Sherbert Peasant Top

If you’re looking for a blouse you’ll want to wear every single day, then we’re pretty sure this is the one. Light and airy with just the right amount of silhouette shaping, this top is a must-have addition to every closet. Bottoms are super versatile—everything from jeans to skirts to dress pants would be ideal—making this the perfect blouse to wear for work or play. Dress it up for the office with closed-toe heels and a striking statement necklace. On the weekend, pair it with your favorite white skinny jeans, a pair of embellished sandals, and a simple choker. Priced at $148.

4. Fringe Benefits Pastel Dress

When it comes to statement-making fashion, look no further than this dress! Creamy yellow, goldenrod, and gray make a delightful asymmetrical detail along the bottom, turning this sheath into one heck of a show-stopper. This is a great work-to-weekend dress, and would pair nicely with ankle boots or strappy heels. The fringe adds a sense of playfulness, while the cashmere turns this into something sophisticated and grown-up. Priced at $358.

5. Seaglass Cuffed Kimono Pullover  

For a top that you’ll want to reach for time and again, regardless of the season, this seaglass kimono-style pullover is a piece that can be worn year-round. The vertical ribbed detail, mock-neck, and cuff styling provide plenty of detail, rounding out the look of this striking silhouette. Pair with skinny jeans or trousers for another piece that can be worn to the office, or around town. Accessorizing should be fun, for this can take a necklace, earrings, or bracelets. The shoe selection is endless, although we think this would look smart with a pair of cigarette pants and patent leather loafers. Priced at $98.
