At First Blush

This vintage pink sweater is one of many treasures in my Etsy shop. ^___^ It's cozy and roomy. <3 Also, I find that the pastel pink is a fun color to work with for cold weather outfits. It would be so easy to style for Spring. Just add your favorite kind of florals and you're done. Hehe. I think colors such as deep navy, charcoal grey and grass green would pair nicely with the sweater for Fall. Since Winter and XMAS are fast approaching, I decided to show you guys one way to style it for the coming holiday season.

Picture

This outfit is something I would totally wear to a holiday party. If they've got a backyard with a chiminea (and some stiff hot toddies...haha), I'd be all set. ;D I've always liked the way pink and red look together and, though the red high waisted shorts are quite bright, I think the navy peacoat helps temper that a bit. I added the neutral tights, black satchel and understated vintage oxfords to help accentuate the color blocking. I think that adding any more bright colors to the mix would have been distracting.

Picture

To satisfy my incessant need to add complexity to my outfits, I donned a colorful multi-pattern winter hat. Many of the colors in the hat are either represented in the outfit or further compliment the outfit in some way. The hat added just the right amount of whimsicality and it made the outfit more interesting.

I totally blame you for the reason so many pop colors are infiltrating my closet! You always blend together bright colors so seamlessly. If I can add a little something bright into my outfit, I feel like I'm doing it right.

This is the first time that I'm happy to have been blamed for something. Hahaha. Thanks! :D <3

To be honest, I really hate pink and red together, but... you made it look great! I don't know, maybe it's because of the right shade of red? Anyway, I like the outfit and the hat!

Oh, right on. Sweet! I'm glad I changed your mind a little bit. :D You're right about the fact that the brightness of the colors really do matter. Matching the colors properly is tough for sure!

I think my favourite thing about this look is that the main pieces are just one colour each, and then your hat has all of the colours! :D

Pink and red together--I never would have tried that myself, but I love how you styled it with a navy peacoat. You're right--perfect for a holiday party! Now to make some toddies...

I am so sorry I wasn't very present here this month, dear Anna, but I guess it's the same for all of us - December is chaotic! But here I am now and I loved your vintage sweater and your pictures! Your blazer is lovely and the red shorts too! I loved the "hat" as well and I am eager to wear one cape that I bought after I saw you with that - in a few days, when I go back home :)

Thanks! ^_^ No worries! This is a really busy time of year, so I'm surprised that you guys have the time to even look at my page. Haha. I always expect people to be inundated with traveling and family stuff. It's not a problem! I'm always happy to see you when you come here! <3

Wow, this outfit looks like it was stolen straight from my closet! I seriously have an identical blazer/pair of red shorts. I've never thought to pair them together but you make them look stellar. :)

Seems a bit chilly to wear outside, but I like the pink and red together. It is unexpected but works well!

Thanks! <3 I always jump for joy when we get temps in the upper 40's. Haha. It's different up north. A lot better than -10. >_< Around here, people still wear shorts and sandals in 20 degree weather. One time, I saw a dude on the corner eating an ice cream cone while it was snowing. :P Hard core. Hehe.

I'm going to admit that neither the pink top nor the red shorts are anything I would ever normally gravitate towards, but this outfit is just totally cute and absolutely works! Thanks for helping me see styling options for and appreciate pieces that I probably wouldn't wear!
