I will be the first to admit that pink, light or bright, has never been my favorite color, especially when it comes to my wardrobe. Sporadically, it will find its way in in the form of bubble gum colored Manolo Blahnik stilettos, a Sachin + Babi silk necklace, or an Anglomania fuschia t-shirt dress. However, this is pretty much where it begins and ends.
Whatever my personal distaste for the color, I must acknowledge the fact that, right now, pink is literally everywhere! Whether on the Neiman Marcus List or all across the catwalk, I cannot escape it. Even on my recent (and thoroughly enjoyable) trip to Nashville, it covered the racks and shelves of countless stores: Nordstrom, Anthrolpologie, BCBG, and all of my favorite local boutiques. Thus, I must remember the old, cliched saying "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em."
After combing the racks and surfing the fashion net, I have come across some truly amazing pink pieces. I have to say, I'm not disappointed with the selection, and am chomping at the bit to get my hands on a few of those elegantly conspicuous, Dayglo fuschia items. And as routine goes, I have attached pictures, price points, and shopping destinations for some of my very favorites.
So, at the end of the day I think I'll join 'em....and who knows, maybe the next time you see me I'll be doused in color!
