Pink is my least favorite color in the entire world lol, but I am gravitating to some of the pale blushes being shown this season. I love the Blumarine dress as well as the Pringle of Scotland look. Very pretty in pink!

K.Line said...

You're torturing me with spring, CC!! I gotta wait 2 months (minimum) before I get to start thinking in this colour scheme - much less wearing any of these under a light coat :-)

Ooooh, I wait spring... I adore pink, especially pale pink (nude) and fucshia! OMG!

Great post, CC!

xoxo and hugs: Janet

Gledwood said...

I quite like that pink-&-orange together on the frock... though when I was young I was told that was the stygian worst of bad taste...

the chair ain't bad if they did one turquoise against green I'd go for that

Meg said...

I love how different shades of pink seem to have entirely different personalities.

Rand said...

i dont like pink taht much but i really love light washed pink!

Baybay Mama said...

I am not so much a pink kinda gal but I do love these looks. It really inspires me to go out of my 'comfort zone' and just wear something pink!

Anonymous said...

Exactly !! I love to eliminate things on the list xD.
I also have to add one or two and forward the award but the wifi here is painful...

Anyway, I adore the think pink philosophy ! I love ' antique pink ', but 8o'-disco-pink is really cool too !

prettyneons said...

Oh amazing, just amazing...I adore reading your posts I always try to sneak a peek during my lunch break haha ;)
Whats more amazing is the various tones of pink!
Peace and Buttons...

how lovely!
i naturally hate pink, but something about pale pink (not baby pink, but more coral) makes me want some of it!
it is just so feminine, pretty, and perfect for spring!

WendyB said...

I've never been super into pink but I just got the most amazing pink ombre gown from (guess who) Zang Toi. I have a whole new attitude towards the color now. You just need to find the right shade, I guess.

My word verification is "likettos." Stilettos that you really like?

That Balmain dress is crazy and I could not pull it off to save my life...but I somehow think it's so divine.

I love pink (so as long as it's not too sacharine) and I loved this post.

ivoreece said...

Oh, I can't wait for spring!!! I don't really like pink or fuchsia, but I love the rose nuances.

Julia said...

As anti pink as I've been in my blog/my wardrobe choices, I've kind of grown to love certain shades [to the point I want hot lipstick to offset my usual red!]

I wonder how else it's going to try to creep into my wardrobe.

Anonymous said...

Pink's and Fuchsias are divine. The Richard Nicoll contrast panel dress is a dream. Reminds me of Molly's prom dress from 'Pretty in Pink'! :)
