Blush Winter

I remember I was doing a collaboration this past fall for another website and I wanted to wear a pink coat as a fall essential. The editor refused. “This should be what you’d wear for fall. A pink coat is more spring.” Not for me. Pink and blush tones are year round in my book. Though I do tend to stick to neutrals, pink is the one color I always say yes to.
And winter is no exception. I think soft blush is beautiful for winter and though the weather here isn’t your typical winter, I’d still wear the shadeย in the pouring snow. I paired my blush blazer with one of my favorite striped tops (last seen here) and some black skinnies (seen here last month). Disclaimer: the bag is not mine. I got it as a Christmas gift for my sister and it’s taking all the power in my not to steal it for myself. I love it so much! Finally, I added some bling with my favorite art deco inspired necklace and some fun sophistication with the white pointed heels.

I felt like a total boss bitch in this look. See, blazers can totally be fun! And pink can be worn in the colder months. ๐
Do you like wearing blush pink in the winter?

100% agree with you that Pink is a seasonless color – I have a pink coat that I wear year-round, it’s one of my faves!

LOVE this look and the top! Did you get your normal size in it to fit a bit loose like that?
January 7, 2015 @ 12:32 am
Yep! It’s a small. ๐

December 30, 2014 @ 2:22 pm
I couldn’t agree with you more on wearing blush pink year round, especially with winter whites. Gorgeous with the stripes ๐
January 7, 2015 @ 12:32 am
Ahhh, winter whites – my fave!!
December 30, 2014 @ 2:43 pm
haha laughing at the boss bitch comment. So funny! But I do REALLY love this outfit. I’m not much of a pink person but I still think you can wear pastels in the winter! I still wear mint!
January 7, 2015 @ 12:33 am
Thank you! Yes, boss bitch is my alter ego who gets. it. done. hehe ๐

Great outfit, that coat looks perfect on you! x
January 7, 2015 @ 12:36 am
Thanks! I was worried it was too big, but I like the oversized fit!
January 3, 2015 @ 7:59 pm
I feel that way about the color green. I can always find an appropriate shade of green to wear in any season. Plus, sparkly silver flats are a year round in my mind.
January 7, 2015 @ 12:37 am
Yep, if you have that one color that looks amazing on you, it’s totally ok to stick to it! And yes to metallic flats year round!
January 4, 2015 @ 7:49 pm
Love the outfit! I need some more pink/blush in my life!
January 7, 2015 @ 12:38 am
Thank you! And I think I do too!
January 4, 2015 @ 10:36 pm
I am right with you on that. Blush is such a pretty color, and I agree that it is perfect for all seasons. I really love that bag- I bet it is so tempting for you, lol! xo
January 7, 2015 @ 12:38 am

I love that color blush. How fitting ๐ I also really love that purse โ I’m such a purse hoarder/enthusiast and that one is perfect.

Yes, I think blush is so nice in the winter when so many people bundle up in dark colors. I love that you wore this over a striped top and the lighting in these photos are so dreamy! ๐
