The pink is flattering and the shirt fits well! Wear with confidence. </p> <p>I am a fan of fuchsia and wear it with all sorts of colours -- denim, purple, burgundy, navy, taupe, grey, white, and many more. You've already received great suggestions for what to do - - now just wear that baby! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-impossible-pink#post-863111 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 13:16:46 +0000 Sona 863111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love #1. also second it with white bottoms for S/S. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-impossible-pink#post-863075 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 11:44:01 +0000 krishnidoux 863075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is such a great shirt, very very full of style, and adds a nice punch to a workplace outfit. I also very much like how you have styled it with loose necklace, as well as the shiny belt detail. Well played! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-impossible-pink#post-863019 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 07:26:27 +0000 jayne 863019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I would so wear it just as you did in the first picture, but then I love me some color block. I love brights with black as a nod to licorice candy from the UK. I guess though it isn't for you, or maybe, not yet. As you wear more brights you might find they grow on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-impossible-pink#post-862923 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 04:11:50 +0000 CocoLion 862923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Simply beautiful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-impossible-pink#post-862910 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 03:56:30 +0000 Adelfa 862910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>texstyle, I have a navy lace pencil skirt and a denim skirt. Next time I'll wear one of those!</p> <p>k, yes, today I wore a black skirt. But I have a charcoal pencil skirt, and a dark khaki skirt (does this count as taupe or camel?) More ideas to try!</p> <p>Tina, thanks! And thanks for the compliment about the boots. I saw some $600 loeffler randalls, and then searched to find similar ones till I found these corso como ones for $135!</p> <p>zap and una, I'm repeating, "Don't fear the fuschia!" Besides I love fuschias (the plant).</p> <p>mer, yes, the belt is a darkish metallic silver. It's reversible and the other side is mauve snakeskin. DD gave it to me and I think it's BR.</p> <p>Elisabeth, I so agree that brights with black is not an optimal look. Too '80s for me. I do have denim and I *want* white and olive so thanks for the suggestions! (You too, texstyle.)</p> <p>Aida, thanks for the comprehensive list of suggestions! I am really excited about these options!</p> <p>Jan, Day Vies, shevia--thank you! (blushy face)</p> <p>Thistle: I've got to get some white bottoms! I'm torn between jeans (more current) and cropped slacks (possibly more work appropriate). But I've got to get some!</p> <p>Thanks to all who made suggestions. I was sort of unhappy with the pairing of pink and black and alternatives are precisely what I wanted! Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-impossible-pink#post-862821 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 02:58:37 +0000 Jaime 862821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it just as you wore it - with just one strong pink and the black beads. A gorgeous color on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-impossible-pink#post-862805 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 02:46:33 +0000 catgirl 862805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is fabulous on you. Don't fear the fuschia! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-impossible-pink#post-862784 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 02:38:00 +0000 Day Vies 862784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A definite do! I love it best with out the cardigan. The addition of the metallic belt is genius. Love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-impossible-pink#post-862761 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 02:22:29 +0000 Thistle 862761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the bright color on you, and silk! *swoon*</p> <p>I love this pairing both with and without the cardi. A few other ideas I had;<br /> Do you have white jeans? Would look fab with those.<br /> Do you have grey or camel trousers? It would look fab with that.<br /> I am not sure about turquoise, but I have seen Day Vies pair turquoise with red, and I bet it would work with fushia! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-impossible-pink#post-862740 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 02:02:51 +0000 Jan 862740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing and chic! Hooray for bright colours! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-impossible-pink#post-862612 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 00:34:57 +0000 Aida 862612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for bringing out the bright pink silk shirt I don't think you need to "pick up" on the color anywhere else in the outfit, it makes a good statement right on its own. I like the idea of pairing with non-black neutrals/light colors; for spring: white, cream, dove gray, blush, mint, and faded denim blue all sound especially yummy to me. Darker neutrals that could be fun: navy, ink blue, camel, or charcoal. You could also pair with some prints, or sneak in little doses of another bright color :} And of course, the touch of metallic (your belt) is fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-impossible-pink#post-862442 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 22:02:36 +0000 Aziraphale 862442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Adelfa, although I rarely wear colour (and almost never wear *bright* colours) I make an exception for red and bright pink. That shirt is a great colour! I personally prefer brights to NOT be with black, however, especially black bottoms. I'm not sure why. And of course this is personal -- you may not agree at all. I think a bright accessory (shoes or bag) looks good with a black outfit, but if it's a hot pink shirt we're talking about, I think it would look far better with olive (military green) bottoms, or blue denim, or even white. </p> <p>I would style that pink shirt with a denim or green camo skirt instead of a black one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-impossible-pink#post-862409 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 21:29:48 +0000 merwoman 862409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! I like it both ways - peeping out from under your cardi, and solo!<br /> Like the skinny belt - looks like a metallic of some type? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-impossible-pink#post-862401 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 21:21:17 +0000 Anonymous 862401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey, I just read that Fuchsia is in for the fall.<br /> I like it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-impossible-pink#post-862398 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 21:17:27 +0000 Tina.b 862398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is one of my favourite colours and you wear it brilliantly. That shirt is really a great shape for you. I usually pair that colour with a neutral, and I love the suggestions above.great boots too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-impossible-pink#post-862388 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 21:08:00 +0000 K. Period. 862388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! Are you wearing it with black? I like the crispness of it very much. Not too intense at all to my eye. </p> <p>I have a few summer things that are bright, hot pink, and I love them so along the way I've figured out a few ways to work with it and feel comfortable with the intensity. Black is a little challenging (which makes your fab outfit even more fab). For what it is worth, I think black is even more challenging with my hot pink because hot pink and black together are licorice allsorts colors, right? So, other than a rare pairing with black and white, I pair mine with the other neutrals in my closet. </p> <p>I adore bright pinks with charcoal, navy, camel and taupe. All those neutrals play well with it. I bet you've got a ton of items in your closet that you're thinking of now. I can't wait to see this shirt again!</p> <p>ETA, ditto to all of Tex's recommendations! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-impossible-pink#post-862387 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 21:06:43 +0000 texstyle 862387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I love hot pink and I think you did a great job! I'd probably also wear it with any of these colors: navy, olive green, dark brown, white, and denim. I've seen it work with turquoise as well but for me that would have to be an accent color. I like it with black as well but it would be lower contrast with some of the other colors, if that's something you'd like to try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-impossible-pink#post-862378 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 20:58:39 +0000 Adelfa 862378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hot on the heels of yesterday's post on wearing my silk (fabbers said DO IT):</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/something-old-something-new-and-a-question-about-silk" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....about-silk</a></p> <p>I decided to take the plunge with this shocking pink shirt. I've had it for 6 months but didn't know how to wear it and was shy of the brightness. </p> <p>I didn't have a scarf or jewelry to tie in the pink so I wore the dark pearls to bring the black up and make it less colorblocky. The cardigan was how I originally was going to wear it, but I got brave and left it off. </p> <p>How would you style this shirt? Thanks! </p>
