Give me pink or give me death.
Now, I know that pink is “in” right now – hello, Glossier ads and sweaters at Barneys – but it’s also my second favorite color (behind orange of course). I’m delighted at the multitude of affordable ways to incorporate soft shades of pink, blush, rose, and nude into my wardrobe as of late, as pink has always held a special place in my heart as the symbol of all things female, sexy, and mysterious. Yea, I think pink can be mysterious. A woman in pink most definitely gives you pause.
Today I’ve paired a slick pair of light pink trousers with a long, navy coat for warmth against the brutal winds coming off the Hudson River, and a basic white turtleneck. To finish the look I’ve added a pair of clear, jelly sandals that are the opposite of sensible. Who needs comfort when you have the sauciest of shoes on your feet, daring the almost freezing temperatures to tickle your toes?
I’m off to the bodega in this outfit…
…because whether you’re running a quick errand to pick up some of the city’s most affordable tulips, peonies, and baby’s breath or you’re heading into a meeting with your boss, a smart pair of trousers matched with an oversized coat really won’t do you wrong.
Roses for the win.
Home I went, flowers in hand, eager to get them into fresh water so they’d make it a day longer than anticipated. I think they lasted for an entire week – not bad for bodega buds. The sweetest part of my day and this outfit? Shoe envy.
