SOFT SORBETS FOR DAYS

It’s no secret that our craving for color has dominated our post-pandemic palettes. And while bright hues are exploding like wildflowers after a spring rain, equally popular are the softer edges of these color schemes. Soft pastels have us dreaming in sherbet and sorbet.

Starting with this pretty in pink number from Plum Pretty Sugar. Plenty of soft, flowy ruffles give it a summery, romantic feel.
