Shades of Pink ~ Link-up + Giveaway

style-perspectives

And here we are at Week 2 of Style Perspectives! A big shout out to all of you who participated. Yay, you!! We are all thankful to see so many link-up on the debut of this series.

This week the prompt is Shades of Pink. I know there are lots of opinions about pink. Some people love it and some will not wear it all. I’m a little bit in the middle of the road on pink. I’m trying to embrace it more especially since Rose Quartz is the color of popularity. I think I might need to get on bandwagon.

I pulled a pink gingham blouse from my spring pieces to feature with this look. Truth is I do like this pink blouse. It felt really good to able to embrace a little spring with this look. Hang on you sweet ones up north…warmer temps are coming!

Shades of Pink

Pink BlouseI decided to add my shade of pink to a look for a typical office. Bringing back the black pencil skirt which I haven’t featured in quite a while. I admit I’ve missed that skirt and it feels good to put on typical office attire again.

Pink Gingham

Pink + DenimSince my day job is an Administrative Assistant to a departmental manager, this look would be appropriate but I work in a construction area so this doesn’t fit my typically work wear. It might work for you though!

Last week our prompt was a wrap. Want to see all the looks from last week? Here’s the wrap on the wrap. Hey friends! Make sure to scroll all the way to the bottom and enter our giveaway. You’ll be glad you did!

  • Carrie - I love the pink gingham shirt. Not something in my typical style repertoire - but I love how you styled it. Lisa Daily Style Finds

  • Love that pink gingham shirt, so perfect with that outfit and those leopard shoes, swoon!
    • Thank you! I really like the patterns mixed together.

    I've seen a a few pencil skirts today and love them. You rock yours. Also you look so put together ALWAYS. this hot mess is jealous !
    • You are so kind! Pencil skirts are just the best!
  • Waaaa! Until my beachbody resurfaces, I am afraid to try pencil skirts again. Oh, but you make them look so tempting and so effortless because they fit you so well. Love the dressier skirt with the casual denim jacket and pink gingham. Fun on the top and business on the bottom. Always perfect, Carrie.
    • Oh, goodness, lady! You would look fab in a pencil skirt!
  • Alison C
    I love that gingham top. I'm still on the hunt for a cute pink one, I wear so much navy/blue that it would be a perfect addition.
    • I got this one at j. crew factory.
