How to Wear DIY: Festive pink and red!

Happy Valentine's Day!

And happy festive month of pink and red and hearts.  I have a How to Wear DIY post for you today--this post is particularly exciting because it's linked up on, Everybody, Everywear, an awesome blog that collects outfits on a theme from all kinds of bloggers!  (Such a great idea, and started by a couple of also great style bloggers.)  Anyway, the challenge/theme this month: Pink and Red (together!).

Pink + Red | Everybody, Everywear


I'm sure you've seen lots of examples of red and pink outfits.  So often they're HOT red and HOT pink, because brights are so in right now!  So fun.  I have a whole pinboard just for red jeans and brights.










But I wasn't sure I wanted to go that route on my Everybody, Everywear red/pink contribution.  Is it possible to mix red and soft pink?  Turns out it is!







Okay, was that enough red and pink inspiration for you?  I may have gone a little overboard.  Check my red jeans and brights pinboard if you need more. ;)

ANYWAY, you're probably ready to see my red/pink outfit!

I definitely like BRIGHT red when I do red--the darker shades remind me of the B.P. Nordstrom sweaters I wore with black pants and chunky Steve Madden loafers in 2002.  But I don't mind rocking a fun bright red!  So I wore this skirt that I actually recently re-made... gotta do a post on that soon.

Okay, sorry, without more ado...


The bad news, if you can't already tell, is I had some serious issues with the color on these, and that fuchsia top and my hot pink nails and lipstick--all look pretty red!  So just trust me that they're a strong, bold pink, paired with my fire engine red skirt.  Must learn Photoshop better...

Jacket: Necessary Objects via Goodwill. Top: Target via Goodwill. Necklace: Forever 21.
Belt: Charlotte Russe. Bracelets: ?? Flats: Land's End. Skirt: DIY!

Have you ever rocked red and pink?

P.S. I still owe you a post on that red skirt makeover!

    I love this look! And I really like that you paired it with flats instead of heels. It gives it a more "cute" and "fun" Valentine's day vibe :)

    1. Thanks! Yeah, I think the non-slutty rule is, the shorter the hemline, the lower the heels should be! ;)
