Whether saccharine or sassy, a dash (or a heavy dose) of pink can make any outfit super-special this spring. Have fun with shades, dimensions, and layering and bring out that inner girly-girl, even if she only makes a rare appearance. Here are five fun ideas:
Preppy
Alright, prepsters. You don’t need our help figuring out that pink totally works. From seersucker pencil skirts to the monogram on your one-piece swim ensemble, you’ve got it down pat. But reach for a trend-forward item this spring with a pair of suede d’Orsay flats from J. Crew. These are equal parts classic prep and modern fun. Now on sale for $99.99 from an original $138.
Streamlined
A pink somewhere between salmon and candy creates an expressive way to showcase a fitted sheath cut. Pairing easily with a cardigan and flats for work, this Ann Taylor number also dresses up for a night on the town when you throw on simple heels and a funky pair of earrings. $129.
Ruffles
Not everyone likes to play it safe, though. If you’re a full-on femme fatale and you want a little ruffle in your springtime selections, may we suggest this knockout maxi option from H&M? The beige-pink blend creates an understated contrast against over-the-top ruffles and a chic Grecian construction. Now on sale for $100 from an original $199. Limited sizing online; check stores for more.
Head-to-Toe + Options
ASOS is all about the co-ords this season, and we are all about the budget maximizing this allows. Purchase a “twosie” and you get not only one unified outfit, but limitless pairing options. One of our faves is this floral relaxed short and blazer combo. Perfect for the mom on the go, it does double duty from the school run to happy hour with the hubby or anything else your day entails. $127 and $73 sold separately; $200 for the set.
Just a Hint
Add a pop of sweetness to all your spring ensembles with a classic, candy-pink lipstick. I hate to play favorites with mine, but Revlon’s Super Lustrous matte lipstick in Stormy Pink is a win for any skin tone and it stays put all day. Now on sale for about $6 at Drugstore.com.
