Winter Pastels: Trends to Try

Just because we are heading into the winter months doesn't mean we have to put away our pastel pieces until spring. This season, lighter hues, especially blush, are making their mark when it comes to winter fashion trends.

Pastel tones add a feminine, soft touch and are a nice change from other popular trends like bold plaids, animal print and basic black. I chose to add a dash of sparkle to my blush blazer. This time of year I am drawn to anything that sparkles. It's part of the holiday magic.

I mentioned last week that there is a HUGE contest hosted by Kotex®. Huge as in a FREE trip. All you have to do is share your winter pastel look for a chance to win a trip for two to New York City. The prize package also includes a shopping spree, hair, make up and an editorial on Glam.com.

"Try it for yourself". Upload your picture to Glam's Facebook page for a chance to win. Each week the Glam editorial team will pick the best photo and the winner will receive a $100 AMEX gift card, plus be eligible for the grand prize fashion trip to New York with a friend.

Every Tuesday, for the next three weeks, I will be announcing the trend of the week. Get ready to snap your pictures and enter to win. Next week may or may not include over sized outerwear. So, start putting those outfits together!

Shouldn't you decide what works for yourself? At Kotex®, we believe in the power of choices. That's why we offer a full lineup of tampons, pads and pantiliners. But you never know what works best until you try it. So, each week, we are challenging you to try a new trend - and flaunt your new look!

U by Kotex® provides protection that passes the only test that matters - your life. Try U by Kotex® for yourself and commit to protection you can get serious about. Head to Facebook to grab a sample and show us what trend you're trying this week. Let the world know what you think!
