WIW : Week of Pink and Red (not only my nose)

Day 19 of the cold that won't let me be. I've had ups and downs and am really just weary of it all so forgive the haggard expressions and palid complexion.
This was my semi challenge to wear pink or red all week for Valentines/Chinese NY/Heart health month.
6-8 already covered in an earlier post, but here for comparison
1-2. Valentine's I tried not to be so obvious. Navy pants (Gap real straight), Liberty-ish print blouse (LE Canvas), Argyle sweater (Esprit), metallic belt (Michael Kors), Grey patent booties (Ann Klein). Red Trench Lauren Ralph Lauren (also worn with #1)
3. Print top (Boden), Pink cardi (BR), originally had dark wash jeans, but traded for LL Bean winter white jeans, Docs boots (DD picked) - really liked this. I think my favorite outfit incorporates a happy print and ties multiple colors together
4-5. Weekend cozy. Angie's J Crew turtleneck (navy and red combo), Vigoss jeans (all that talk with Mo and Denise made me pull them out and I do love their softness), B.O.C. booties, Esprit belt. Note to self take multiple pictures in this one or look like 8 months pregnant.... Cold and possible snow so I added LE red puffer to 7 and Plaid scarf (Lord & Taylor) super warm wherever coat covered...
Thanks for looking and comments and suggestions for improvement are always welcome.
I think I'm going to ride out the remainder of the month with some red or pink (since I can probably do it with no repeats)

Your style is SO colourful! It rivals MaryK

Well Ms. Happy Prepster - loving #1, #3 and #4! Joining the ranks of the Wear White Jeans Year Round, I see. Wooohooo! That's the way

As usual these are all nice - 4 and 8 are my favs!

MaryK is my color idol (and probably my biggest rival for most colorful and deep YLF closet) ! I totally thought "Angie would want you to wear the white jeans..." and I cannot tell you the happiness factor was way up there (giggling to self at people who probably thought I'd finally overdosed on the cold medicines to pull out white jeans in dreary February) Thank you dear Angie for helping me find more fun in fashion.

Debora

You are gorgeous in pink and red! I can't pick a favorite.

Nicole D

I adore 2, 6, and 7. You wear red so well - one of my fave colours too.

Thistle

Despite how sick you've been, you look fab and wear red very well. And the colors! So rich and vibrant! I like them all, but 3 and 4 are my favorites.

Jaime

My favorites are #1 and #4 but that is probably my bias toward casual outfits. You look pretty in pink!

Poor thing! DH and I have been sick for a week now - those germs need to let us all alone! Feel better soon... you look great, and I am especially fond of that red trench!

Love the Valentine's Day look especially the Red Trench. Hope you finally fight off that cold.

Sorry to hear you have had a cold for so long! Pink is so cheerful, I love the way #3 looks. Very Spring even though the trees are still bare.

Also the Vigoss jeans are awesome on you and the way you've styled them in 4 is casual yet pulled together. There's something about stripes that always looks chic. (Do we have Coco Chanel to thank for that?)
