WIW: Shocking pink or blush pink?

Sal

Veteran

Last week I wore my new patterned skirt twice.

Day 1: Blush sweater and blush oxfords
Day 2: Shocking pink and white sneakers

I like them both - strictly speaking the blush is a better match - the colour is in the skirt - whereas the brighter tone in the skirt is coral not pink.

Somehow at the moment I have lots of mix and match options - it's making getting dressed very simple. May is a lovely time of year though - crisp clear days, autumnal colour.. I will see how I feel in the depths of gloomy July.

Anyone else having fun mixing and matching?

Both are really good! Excellent transitional-weather outfit, Sal!

I am doing some mixing and matching, yes, trying to come up with new outfit combinations. They don't always work, and I end up going with a tried-and-true combo, but it's worth a try!

They’re both great. The blush may be a better match, but that hot pink and blue is a classic combo - and energetic

Thanks Sharan, I think I have another couple of weeks before I would need to add hosiery in the mix (which I think means I often put the skirt aside until September!)

Thanks Rachy - yes I like the energy of the bright pink and white too!

I love the bright pink especially with your glasses on. The color is really nice with your skintone.

Great mixing and matching! Love how versatile your skirt is, most like a pair of jeans in that you can completely change the look by the support pieces.
I mix and match a lot , it since my bottoms are fairly neutral it’s an easy task, and provides a nice change.

Personally I prefer the vibrancy of the Cable jumper - but you knew I was going to say that anyway, right?

Thanks Lana and Zaeobi.

Merwoman - The skirt has a lot of colours that I wear - navy, white, yellow and blush. I also think black works with it and turquoise would too if I had anything that colour.

Both are fab in their own way. I love the hot pink on you (and might love it even more with a hot pink shoe). But I am a sucker for those blush oxfords and I think they are smashing with the skirt.

I like both and they each give a different feeling, which makes the skirt seem fresh. Always love a bright pink/coral!

Sal

Veteran

Haha CarolS!! I don't have a shocking pink shoe but never say never (although if I get a bright shoes I am keen on yellow...)

Thanks Jaime. I love shocking bright pink too.

Both are fabulous, my favourite is the bright pink - a gorgeous colour on you.

I love the brighter pink on you. I think it tones well enough with the skirt. The blush is lovely too, especially with the shoes.

Do you have tall camel or tan boots? I had an idea that you do. I think they would look great with both these combinations as the weather gets cooler.

My favorite is the blush but both look great!

Thanks Bijou and Bonnie!

Brooklyn, my boots are below. I like the navy with the skirt, and will experiment with the browns and camels. It is very easy to experiment at my work because most people are wearing hi vis or company shirts and nobody cares (or notices).

Ah yes, it’s the Merchant boots I was thinking of. I think they will work nicely with the skirt. No need to put it away for Winter

I will try it next week Brooklyn and take a photo for you

Both looks are pretty but bright pink wins for me - fab with skirt and glasses!

You look great in both outfits. I love the coordinated and soft elegant look of the blush pink top & shoes plus matching skirt. Just a suggestion: How about giving this look a bit more edge/contrast in your portrait area by adding a blue necklace or scarf?

Yay to mix and match! I'm on team blush, but I do like the bright pink too!

Yes I like both too but my matchy-matchy gene is drawn to the blush.
I am already too cold for bare legs. Trousers it is, as per usual.
Such a pretty skirt.
I am having fun mixing and matching pants with different tops and different closed shoes, or boots.

I love a good remix. I often buy a piece to fill a specific gap and then find so many other ways to wear it.

Gorgeous skirt and so versatile. I love both looks although the brighter pink is especially gorgeous and energizing on you. But the blush with the shoes is lovely!

I like both on you. You have a more vivid coloring, though, so the brighter pink really works.

Lovely!I really like the sleeves on the bright pink one.

Well, I love that skirt and suspect it will become a workhorse. Both sweaters work, but the matchy-matchy bookending of the blush sweater and shoes is my fave.

Great skirt and both tops work, but I liked the brighter one on you best. You are glowing with that color!

Another vote for the bright pink. It really suits you.

The blush pink is nice but the bright pink is killer with the skirt and your specs.

that skirt is so versatile, I can see you having a great variety of outfits! I think you look fab in both outfits but my favourite is the blush, really like how you bookended the top with the shoes!
