Pink or Navy? TORN: ETA: Keeping Both!

I love both! Hubs slightly prefers one to the other. But loves both too.

Pink more fun.

Navy more elegant.

Will wear this dress to WFH, work with clients, run errands, walk doggies, or go out. No set way. It’s VERY COMFORTABLE and I can move, so all good.

Which?

I expected this to be a no-brainer... pink is always the right answer, right? But the vibe is so different! The pink one is sort of 80s, paired with the gathering, so it's a question of if that's what you want or not. The other is more elegant. Then again, do you ever really reach for dark unless it's a very somber event?! What's my meal if I'm benched?

Very hard choice, as I love both on you. Slight edge to the pink, as it is more fun and harder to find.

Oh no! Both?? If I HAD to choose, I’d go w/ navy for longevity, but you can’t lose either way! Both colors look great. The navy does give a more sophisticated & classic look; the pink is more vivacious.

SOOOO INTERESTING!!!

Sorry, Lesley! No time to style with shoes, and I'm not a big shoe person anyway. Shan't make a difference. They will be white, flat and dressy, or sneakers - same old, same old

Pink!
Is it jersey? I think of you as having more refined fabrics for your more elegant pieces. This one feels right in the pink.

I keep coming back to this! The Nordstrom photo does it no favors---I would never even stop on that shade of pink. In your photos, that is my ideal neon hot pink.

The one Greg likes more, whichever one that is.
My heart is given to pink, but your blue glasses frames pop more with the navy. Both are great, so indulge him? You’ve said you trust his judgement?

Lesley, YES! Brighter pink in person. Muted in the stock photo. I bought the navy first. Was a devil and tried the pink a week later.

The pink look more "you" to my eye Angie, especially if you're using it for day to day activities in which I know that colour gives you calm energy. But both are lovely on you!

I did a quick peek at your dresses in Finds, and note at least 5 navy dresses, and a couple with navy in the print - but no pink! I think you need a bright coloured dress, so vote PINK

Angie, what colourful accents would you add when styling the navy? That might make a difference too ...?

IMPORTANT:

Carla, thanks for looking in my FINDS! I've compared it to what's in my wardrobe. I always do my homwork

It's not comparable or repitition on a solid navy dress because:

#1 is DENIM
#2 and #4 are for FORMAL only
#3 is for FUNERALS only

Hope that makes sense!

I don't have a solid navy EVERYDAY DRESS

@ Angie - LOL! I still vote PINK. However, the navy really is elegant. If you do decide on navy, consider a trendy Barbie pink dress too, but in another design. Maybe something airy and light for hot summer days?

There is no question in my mind that PINK is more flattering and fun. In navy, the dress doesn't speak to me at all; it kind of blends into the woodwork. Even your facial expression is more fun in the pink, which I think might reflect how it makes you feel. Yes, the navy dress is more elegant, but IMO this isn't an "elegant" dress from the start due to fabric and style. Like you said, it is an everyday dress, and for that purpose, pink wins the day.
