Powerful in Pink

I have always loved the color pink. To me, it’s just so happy and pretty. But it is also known as girly, soft and fluffy. While yes, it can be feminine, I don’t think that has to mean it can’t be strong and powerful. I’ve often heard that color (especially pink) shouldn’t be worn in professional settings, but I strongly oppose that idea. Which is exactly why I bought this amazing Michael Kors #bossbitch bag.
I love the structure, clean lines, modern design, and bold color (obvi) of this bag. It adds the perfect pop of color to so many outfits and as a big lover of neutrals, it’s the perfect contrast for me. I actually bought the bag as a little treat to myself for launching Adorn and reaching 10,000 followers on Instagram! I rarely splurge on myself and this was a big one for me, but totally worth it!
{ bag: Michael Kors // tee: ℅ Style Lately // skirt: Forever 21 // pumps: Valentino (sold out), similar // necklace: old, similar here & here }
I also wore this look in my Inspired by This feature about How to Style a Tee. (You can see the other ways I styled it here, here & here.) I had so much fun in this look, yet I still felt super feminine, powerful and professional.
Are you a fan of pink?

I’ve always been a fan of pink as well. I have a pair of pink slacks that I wear to work every once in awhile. I love them! I also love that bag! It’s so bright and pretty and definitely makes a statement.
