From the Archives: Fabulous Fashion Friday-June 3rd: Pretty in Pink and Black

Heureux vendredi les filles (Happy Friday, girls)!

Pink has always been the color that allows women to flaunt their girly side and the popular pinks of the season such as light carnation, dusty rose, and puce are certainly helping us flaunt it well. But sometimes, these pinks are so light that they barely lend any definition to an outfit. The simple solution to adding more outline and drama to your pretty pink apparel is to pair it with a touch of black at the bottom, middle or top.

In my first look I set black on the bottom by pairing this dusty rose bubble top with a simple black skirt.



With a solid black at the bottom of the outfit, our eyes focus on the pink novelty top
How cute is this! Even the back is decorated with a big satin bow! 
  
For my second look, I put the black right in the middle of the pink by accessorizing with a black stretchy belt. Placing black in the middle brings out every detail of the dress without fail, and is balanced with little black flats.

 A close up shows the crochet detail around the collar of the dress and a lovely pink earring made by Alison Peltz Design, borrowed from Ponytail Jewelry Studio.
Such gorgeous detail to match a beautiful smile!
For my last look, I combined ultra light shades of pink and cream, placing my black to the top of the outfit with a scarf.
Get this entire look at Kick It, right now, for under $125.
Setting the black at the top provides stark contrast to the lightest of light shades of pink, whites and creams of the skirt. The fringy plummet of the scarf adds drama, and the contrast of the whole outfit looks stunning. 


So, ladies,  show off those pinks this season with a bit of black to let your inner girly shine!
Vous ĂȘtes beau!
