Fashion Friday – PINK…two ways

Happy Fashion Friday! This week’s theme? HOT PINK!

Without planning it, I wore two outfits featuring the happy color and on both days the sun was SHINING! Coincidence? I think not ;) Note: I’m not really a “hot pink kinda girl,” but any bright, vibrant color always brings a smile to my face – it’s like the energy of the color transcends into my overall psyche — call me crazy, but if it makes me happy, I’m runnin’ with it ;)

While each outfit featured the spunky color, that was where the comparisons ended. One of the outfits was office/meeting friendly and the other was “casual Friday” appropriate.

The first of the two was the office-friendly ensemble:

In the mix:

  • Leather skirt: BCBG
  • Black button-down: Banana Republic
  • Hot pink shirt: Express
  • Shoes: Enzo Angiolini

I really liked how much personality this outfit had, with still being professional. It’s amazing what a difference a punch of color can make!

My next outfit is actually thew one I’m wearing today – casual Friday at its finest!

In the mix:

  • Shirt/dress: Custo Barcelona
  • Grey jeans: Barney’s NY
  • Leather bomber jacket: Topshop
  • Ankle boots: Marc Jacobs
  • Scarf: Another handknit creation by my GRANDMA!

I apologize for the poor photo quality and horrific lighting!

What color do you wear to perk up your mood?

    Gosh I need a good leather skirt. Yours looks so good on you! I’m also not a “hot pink” girl perse but I looove bright colors and since hot pink is one, I’ll take it! It’s so funny how wearing a lot of pink in one outfit renders it so girly automatically.

    Pink puts me in a good mood too. I like the lips shirt.

  8. I am loving your hot pink! I definitely am a pink girl. I think the color that makes me feel happiest is a really pretty blue/green (teal/aqua/forest green). There’s something about that certain color that is so appealing to me.

  9. Love the hot pink shoes! I’m an orange kind of girl. I am fortunate that I can pull it off, or maybe I can’t and just don’t care. :) Either way, it is my favorite color and I always pull it out when I need a pick-me-up.

    Looove those boots!! Honestly I wear a lot of black and brown (at least in the winter), such is the nature of living in Manhattan I guess, but I do love those colors and they go well with my coloring. In the summer though I’d say green and yellow are my go-to colors – they totally lift my mood somehow.

  11. those red/pink shoes are gorgeous!! i am not a fashionable person in the least, but i do tend to wear a lot of pink tops with my black pants. i think pink pops the most out of all the colors.

  12. omg…LOVE both looks!!! Fashion is my second favorite passion (after health and wellness, of course :P ) so I get SO excited when I see my favorite bloggers outfits and sense of style =)

    I am OBSESSED with those pink shoes. They are FIERCE!

    you are so naturally beautiful it makes me SICK! (and i mean that in the nicest way!)

  14. shelly says:

    I wear pink to perk up my mood. I will also wear a light blue because it pops my eyes which always makes me feel good.

  15. Love the hot pink! And how the hell does your hair always look so voluminous and beautiful?

  16. Lele says:

    Those shoes are crazy fierce! I’d break my ankle, but I’d rock out before I did!
