Because otherwise I would chip the hell out of my nails. So I just choose one of the numbered color chips at the salon when I get my nails done every 2-3 weeks.&nbsp;I haven't a clue what the name of the color actually is. Sorry!</p> <p>...and I was wondering if anyone would get the Spinal Tap reference in my thread title. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bang-pow-this-hot-pink-goes-to-11#post-1203458 Mon, 24 Mar 2014 07:37:07 +0000 Kiwichik 1203458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So glad you decided to go full throttle.

Love the fit on the trousers and I really like how the moto helps to subdue any excess sweetness the all pink might have. Fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bang-pow-this-hot-pink-goes-to-11#post-1202823 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 16:45:12 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1202823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love color and this pink is fabulous! &nbsp;i do love the white topper version to tone it down just a bit and the earrings are fabulous... I also think the deeper shade shoes was a good choice... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bang-pow-this-hot-pink-goes-to-11#post-1202820 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 16:43:07 +0000 rabbit 1202820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the shoes and the amazing blouse!!! &nbsp;I am very fond of pink. &nbsp;I like the version with the white topper best because the neutral color is a great frame and it introduces a new texture that is not as silky/shiny. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>This outfit reminds me very much of tropical weather clothing, or Miami summer wear, brings back good memories </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bang-pow-this-hot-pink-goes-to-11#post-1202804 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 16:33:11 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1202804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks so wonderful on you! I always enjoy seeing what you put together because the details and accessories are so interesting and unique, and have history. I like to hear about how you got things years ago and still bring them out to wear in current outfits. Even though our style sensibilities are totally different, this always keeps me coming back to see what you are going to do next, and what treasures get to come out to play! (I also think that the beatles and necklace are cool and they carry through the theme I always see in your outfits and accessories, of insects and animals.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bang-pow-this-hot-pink-goes-to-11#post-1202782 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 16:19:42 +0000 Neel 1202782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That pink is gorgeous on you! Love the cropped pants with the mary janes. And the moto toughens the entire look. Love! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bang-pow-this-hot-pink-goes-to-11#post-1202760 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 16:03:11 +0000 No Fear of Fashion 1202760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been away from this site for a while (so busy), but I am glad to visit again and seeing your outfit. I love it so much and I would like to own it myself (not sure whether it would look as nice on me, but a girl can dream).<br />The colours are so in balance and so cheerful... all of a sudden it is spring.<br />The blouse tucked in at the front and not in the back, is highly fashionable as far as I know, so I think you are spot-on.<br />Greetje </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bang-pow-this-hot-pink-goes-to-11#post-1202756 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 16:00:02 +0000 Suz 1202756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my goodness, you are a vision in this! Just lovely -- so fresh and fun. I adore it on you. The white moto just kicks it up another notch. Wow.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bang-pow-this-hot-pink-goes-to-11#post-1202714 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 15:29:51 +0000 Tanya 1202714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a happy outfit, and the I love the white moto with it.&nbsp; I also miss the original Filene's Basement, used to spend hours there in the breaks from experiments. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bang-pow-this-hot-pink-goes-to-11#post-1202709 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 15:24:57 +0000 leopardluxe 1202709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>kkards, I miss Filene's Basement, too! I used to go to the original&nbsp;one in downtown Boston that had all the cool designer stuff and everything was on an automatic markdown system based on a color code on the tag. Ahhhh, it was truly the thrill of the hunt when there&nbsp;and&nbsp;I scored many a fine piece for such short money. Brings back memories! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bang-pow-this-hot-pink-goes-to-11#post-1202665 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 14:39:31 +0000 Golden 1202665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a lot of pink but the outfit is extremely flattering, looks great with the white jacket as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bang-pow-this-hot-pink-goes-to-11#post-1202661 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 14:31:57 +0000 kkards 1202661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>this outfit took me back to this great pink suit i had in the late 80's (stephen sprouse i think, via filene's basement. miss that store).&nbsp;<br />any way, this looks fab. i really like the printed blouse which adds drama. and the cream leather jacket &nbsp;and shoes are great finishing touches.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bang-pow-this-hot-pink-goes-to-11#post-1202649 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 14:05:15 +0000 leopardluxe 1202649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I meant to wear this outfit out to dinner&nbsp;last week when I had my nails painted fuschia pink on a whim (not that I ever try to match my nails to my outfit, but hey, I thought if I was gonna go full throttle pink, why not go all the way)?</p> <p>We ended up not doing dinner out last weekend&nbsp;so I decided I'd wear it last night for a dinner date with my BF (with my now teal green/blue nails).</p> <p>For some reason the shoes look much darker in the photos then they are in reality. They're patent leather in&nbsp;the same shade of reddish purple that appears in the silk blouse (in the beetle pattern's legs and body accents --and yes, in case you didn't notice it right off the bat, the large pattern on the blouse are actually beetles.</p> <p>I thought about going with a pair of hot pink peep toe pumps I have but in the end I liked the purple shade breaking up the large swaths of shocking pink. The white leather moto brought the outfit back in to the realm of casual (I rarely ever do "full-on" dressy unless it's a formal event of some kind)&nbsp;and helped tone down the high wattage head to toe pink.</p> <p>I am in love with the blouse because of the fact that it is silk, in colors I adore (especially the orange in it with the pink) and it is beetles. I know, petite people aren't supposed to wear large patterns, but phhhht!! Screw that.</p> <p>The blouse's length is the only thing that's slightly awkward. It's just long enough to half tuck but not long enough to full tuck (if I move my arms about it will come untucked in the back). So it's probably best worn untucked but I liked it semi tucked with the more trouser style pant.</p> <p>This outfit is quite a bit outside my norm in terms of head to toe BANG! POW! color ( I love color but only occasionally go full throttle with it). Nevertheless, I love to experiment and&nbsp;I had fun and felt good&nbsp;wearing it!</p> <p><b>Silk Beetle Blouse</b>: Tory Burch (via consignment store)<br /><b>Pink Trousers</b>: Banana Republic petite Hampton fit (on clearance rack&nbsp;in the store for $24.00)<br /><b>Purple patent leather mary jane platform pumps</b>: Charles David (via Zappos years ago when I worked for them)<br /><b>Clutch purse</b>: 60's Vintage pearlized lucite (via a vintage shop in Boston many, many years ago)<br /><b>Fuschia pink leather sash&nbsp;belt</b>: (you can barely&nbsp;see it peeking out from under the blouse in the front) vintage/thrifted<br /><b>White leather cropped moto jacket:</b> Joie (via Zappos years ago)<br /><b>Pearl &amp; Gold dangle earrings</b>: Antique Edwardian (via an antiques dealer in Boston&nbsp;I used to do a lot of business with)<br /><b>Gold Signet/Family Crest ring</b>: Antique Victorian&nbsp;(via the same&nbsp;antiques dealer in Boston&nbsp;I used to do a lot of business with)<br /><b>Gold snake necklace</b>: NYC jewelry designer whose name I can't remember.&nbsp;I bought it from her years ago at a gallery show </p>
