In the mood for pink (part 1)

I have to admit this: I have a soft spot for Pink. Not the celebrity (though she is cool), but the colour itself. It is a color so pure, like white, only sweeter…much sweeter. And romantic too, like red, only much cooler and gentle to the eyes. 

Due to its inherent qualities, Pink is used widely in many fashionable items, including clothing and accessories. Here are some celebrities that look fabulous in Pink:

 Jessica Alba

Sarah Jessica Parker

Ali Landry and Julianne Hough

 3^rd runner up of Elite Model Contest, Han Young

Now, let me share some examples from my personal collection…let’s start off with a few cocktail outfits:

I simply LOVE this magenta top! The rich details encompassing ruffles, layers and faux pearl buttons (look closely) make this piece an absolute must-have if you are ready to make a statement. I wear this top to the office too (yes, to the office, not kidding!). What I did was to match it with a black blazer & pencil straight skirt/pants and I would look as professional as ever. And straight after work, I just need to take off my blazer and I am all ready to dance & party!

 

Tip: To play on the safe side, always match an elaborate top with a simple bottom. 

 

As much as I love black & white, I can’t resist vibrant colors. This dress first attracted my attention because of its color combination – shimmering pink, green, yellow and a bit of white (which I think saves this colorful piece from overwhelming the senses). The ribbon on the dress makes it look really sweet and romantic while the slightly plunging neckline and translucent fabric are definitely sexy. To summarize, a piece that is suitable for a sweet yet sexy look.

 

I wore this dress to a company’s cocktail event and received loads of thumb-ups! More formal than the previous piece and equally sweet and sexy (if not more so). What I would kill for is however, not the dress but the matching belt. The design of the belt is akin to the Japanese waist-band, which helps to accentuate the curves of a woman full bosom and slender waist when worn. Simply gorgeous.

 

A pretty tube dress with flower & leave prints. Very simple and classic design that should be suitable for most body shapes. I love the floral prints… remind me of a meadow full of sweet-smelling lilies. What can be more delightful than that?

 

If  Pink has never been a color you would consider wearing, perhaps you would like to give it a try after reading this article?
