Bright pink-Pantone's Innuendo

• Hello, and thanks for stopping by my blog!
• 
  
• Innuendo pink is part of Pantone's chosen color palette
• for spring and summer this year
• This shade of pink is a vivid and saturated hue, and of course, I love it!

For this post, I am featuring two outfits I wore recently in this color

paired with neutrals

First, an open cropped cardigan with sweet scalloped edges in this highly visible color

Worn over a black and white geometric print blouse that has a black crochet trimmed collar

On the bottom, a black knee length skirt with a deep hem flounce

  This little black and white pleated fabric clutch bag incorporates 
  two of my favorite motifs together-hearts and polka dots! 
  
  

  

  
  

  Accessorizing the outfit with gold tone jewelry

  A twisted hinged bangle, disc pendant necklace

  and faceted dome stud earrings
  
  
  
  
  
  Black flat sandals with fabric pleated ruffles
  I have had these shoes for several years, but don't wear them very often
  I think they are a cute style, and versatile as the ruffled rosette decoration is removable
  But they are completely flat with no arch support
  so not as comfortable as the look!

• Oddly, this next dress photographs more red than the bright pink
• that it is in real life
• I wore it earlier on the blog, in February
•  for my Tommy Girl post with the same perplexing color effect
• Not sure why-maybe it's the sheen of the fabric that makes it photograph this way
• Anyway, I am wearing it this time layered under an ivory color cropped, 
• flutter sleeve top with a tie waist to change it up for spring
•

  Carrying an off white reptile embossed circular handle bag
• I wrapped a pink paisley scarf around the handle to add a little print
• to the otherwise solid color block outfit
• It sort of emulates the scrunched fabric handle look
•  that I have been seeing on some bags over the past few seasons

• 

For accessories I chose my much loved gold tone heart 💕  collar necklace,

a bow bracelet and irregular shaped pink stone stud earrings

I have't worn these leopard print sandals in a long time, 

they have spent too long in the back of my closet 

This outfit seemed I good opportunity to get them out

and wear them to see if I like them enough to keep them 

They have an unusual modified wedge heel and the ankle strap comes completely off

I cannot walk in them without the strap, though-

tried it and fell off!
