Pink and Camo, (Edit - better)

Veteran

I'm not sure this combo is working today - and pardon my crazy hair...

Off to ponder what to wear instead

Here it is - per Emily's suggestions, and brushing my hair out of my face - Thank you. I think it works much better!

I like the pieces together, actually. The pants are really pretty colour and look great with your shoes. Semi tuck, white belt, & roll the pants?

What Emily said - I think this only needs a little tweaking to become a great combo.The colors are lovely together.

I was going to say the same thing as Emily. I think it has great potential. I love the color combo.

I hope you might share a new pic if you try Emily's suggestions as pink/olive tones do work really well together.

I followed Emily's suggestions, combed my hair and was out the door. I have a new pic, but haven't loaded from my camera yet. I'll put it up this afternoon.

Everything Emily said ...although I might suggest trying a lower contrast belt. Love that gorgeous top...and Amy you are fearless. Love that you don't let a crazy hair day interfere. I am smiling remembering how we 'changed' in the Zara line up waiting for a change room - you are my kind of shopping buddy!

And I'm already pining for another shopping date with you all Sue! My shopping buddy here thinks everything looks wonderful on me (because I'm thinner than her), and I end up with way more than I should buy I miss the teaching of all of your discerning eyes. I need to write down lessons to remember: no sloppy hemlines on tops! don't settle on colors! etc.

I have never seen a store with that kind of waiting lines for a dressing room - it still shocks me in my memory

Thanks for the suggestions! Here's how it ended up looking. I don't think I'm knocking it out of the ballpark, but I also don't think it looks awful. And the weather today is so springy and warm that wearing light pants and short sleeves just seems to be appropriate.

I think #2 looks fantastic and so Springy!

I like how it ended up looking! And to be honest, I wasn't a big fan of #1 at first, since the silhouette and shade of pink reminded me of scrubs (sorry!). But the little details in #2 made a big difference.

#2 looks much better, isn't it amazing how such small tweaks can change over a look? The white belt really makes it for me; white footwear would be even more lovely, because it'd add another on-trend item and give the look even more purposefulness (if that makes sense?). These shoes look good too, just saying as another option

Yeah to Emily! The tweaks make this a great look and, hey, a girl on the plains needs to rock some camo, so it might as well be pink!

Fab tweaks turned an ok outfit into a great one! Love the color combo.

Yes - and thank you all! I ended up really liking this outfit. And just as Aida said, I think I'll do it with white shoes next time, to bookend the belt.
