Today's Everyday Fashion: Pink and Red






































If you try one crazy color combo this summer, I vote for red and pink! I am loving it so much and have been seeing it everywhere (this dress at H&M is the same color as my shirt and skirt). I always say "never listen to fashion rules" and this is case in point. Just a few years ago wearing red and pink together would have made people gag but now it is tres chic! Will you try wearing pink and red together?

Occasion: Blogger dinner (see picture below!)

  1. It was great meeting you! I had so much fun. :-) Oh, and I noticed Express is rocking the red/pink color block combo in dresses now too. They had a fun bright blue/green combo as well.

  3. It was great meeting you last night!!

    That color combo looks great on you. I didn't even notice that the skirt you were wearing was scalloped at the bottom -- so cute.

  9. I was one of the first to GAG at someone wearing pink+red - now I love it and cannot wait to find the right pieces and wear them together. Well done, yours turned perfect.

  10. That's such a cute look, you're always so creative in putting things together! Since I've started following your blog, I feel like I've definitely been more inspired to try pairing things from my closet that I wouldn't normally put together, so thanks for the inspiration! Also, I saw that both you and PB Fingers were at the event you went to last night, I love both of your blogs!! Have a great weeekend! :)

  11. I really like this color combo! I am going to be in a wedding next week that has the color scheme of watermelon pink and orange (think tulips..). My dress is pink, any suggestion of a color for my nails? Do you typically stick to a neutral nail when you're wearing louder colors like this?

    Kara, I don't think I have had nail polish on my nails since I was 5 years old haha! Don't know why, but I never wear it. I love those wedding colors though!!

  17. I am a new reader and I love your blog!  Great outfit.  Whenever I think of pink and red, I think of Rizzo's outfit at the end of Grease.  I like this outfit much better :)

  18. I'm with you on this one along with pink and coral.  It's a little bit more subtle than pink and red.  My most recent combination was blue and yellow and it wasn't as shocking as I previously thought.  Goes to show that clothes are just clothes, if we don't like it, take it off.  Now haircuts on the other hand, that's a lot scarier :)
