WIW : Pretty (?) In Pink - YouLookFab Forum

Hi Ladies,

You may need to sit down for this one lol!!

Yes I am wearing pink... with black:)

I have found myself very attracted to pink recently. I bought a soft pink, wrap jersey top, the scarf in this outfit and the knit jacket was given to me by my sister. She bought it for herself and at 6ft+ she found it was just too short for her so she asked if I would like it. I did like it:)

I wore this to work today and it was a very comfortable outfit. I felt very put together and 'fresh' all day.

Blazer : Laura Ashley (forgot to take a pic of the lining its delicious)
Sleeveless top : Suzanne Grae
Black Pants : Katies
Boots : Spurr
Scarf : Serra

So... what do you think? I really like the softness of the pink against the black and despite the colour I still felt very 'me' in this:)

Thanks for taking a peek.

Awesome! It's really flattering to your lovely creamy complexion too.

Yes! This looks great, and what a nice surprise! This shade of pink really works for you!

The pink looks lovely on you, Deborah, and the whole outfit and colour combination is gorgeous.

I'm seated, but gosh, some smelling salts would be so handy:-)).
Love! (now fainted:-))

I am in love with the scarf. That icy pink really works.
The more shocking pink is actually shocking and very pretty. Does this signal a style shift? Watching with interest!

MTBGirl

Love the pink on you! You look lovely and very sleek!

So....I'm guessing you don't normally do pink.....

It looks great on you, particularly with the black. I'm not a pink person either but 2 years ago I bought a pink Moto jacket from Zara and i wore it with black a lot.

You look absolutely awesome in this combination...The pink color is perfect for you...I am surprised that the colors work so well together...You must consider more pastels as a try for other looks...

Deborah

Phew so glad no one has asked "what were you thinking" lol

Olivegreen, maybe a subtle style shift inspired by my new job. I think my shadow style might be modern classic and I am enjoying exploring bringing that element into my work outfits. Maybe more of an evolution than a shift;).

CocoC, I have avoided pink like the plague...for years lol. My son was stunned this morning when he saw me this morning. And I actually rarely wear colour, so it is change

So gorgeous! Strikingly different but yet somehow still "you". I think you would also look beautiful in hot pink. Or is that just going too far???

harmonica

So fresh and beautiful! Pink is a great colour for you skin. The outfit has your signature on it.

I read some outdated rule that says your not supposed to wear any color with black. Obviously that rule was wrong because you look wonderful in the color combination. The shades of soft pink bring a vibrancy to your fit.

Thanks Ledonna:). I think Trinny and Susanna were in favour of only wearing white with black but not colour with black;).

It looks fabulous! What a lovely change.

What a gorgeous color on you and it plays well with the black. Very nice choice for adding color.

Suz

Are you kidding? This is stunning!

And the sky has just fallen AGAIN. Pass the smelling salts, please.

It's an almost greyed pink. And I always think of pink and black or pink and grey as a very 80s colour combination (in a good way). It makes for interesting juxtaposition. So I think it does work well for you (besides the fact that it flatters you to the end of time!)

Love the pink next to your blonde hair, and that scarf!!!

Wonderful.

Jaime

Beautiful! Pink becomes you!

Gail

Stunning, love it.

Missey

Oh wow! What a gorgeous shade on you! Who wold have thought ;)? I like the "soft modern" look on you!

Kimberley

Oh my gosh. I love it. I am in shock, but I love it.

Diana

!!!!
Saw this on the wall and did a double take. It's a shock but a good one! The pink is very flattering on you and the contrast with the black is fantastically dramatic.

You win the wild card game.

OMG. I don't think you have ever looked better. EVER. I love every single thing about this outfit. The proportions. The fit. The color. The coziness. This is how I want to dress every single day of my life.

texstyle

Are you kidding me? You look fantastic in this color! This happens to be my favorite shade of pink too - more of a muted or dusty pink I suppose. Love the entire outfit, with the scarf or without.

jackiec

Pick me up off the floor! Stunning! What a nice change, Deborah. Looks nice on you

Transcona Shannon

So incredibly beautiful on you Deb...I think you may have rendered me speechless

Laurie

Best look ever. Ever. Just love it. Agree with Suz, there is a lovely greyness to the pink that makes it perfect for you and slightly edgy.

Ever...
