I love pink but LOVE wearing Black

2024/12/12 Edited to

... Read moreOkay, let's talk about a style confession: my favorite color is pink, always has been! But if you look at my wardrobe, you'd probably think I *always wear black*. It's true! Most days, I reach for black dresses, black jeans, black tops... you get the picture. So, the big question I often get asked is, 'Does pink look good with black?' And my answer is a resounding YES! It's one of my absolute favorite, most versatile, and surprisingly chic color combinations. I know it might sound a bit contradictory – a soft, vibrant pink paired with the ultimate classic, edgy black. But that's exactly why it works so beautifully. Black acts as the perfect canvas, allowing any shade of pink to truly pop and stand out without being overwhelming. It balances the sweetness of pink with a sophisticated, sometimes even daring, edge. Let me share some of my personal go-to ways to rock this duo. If you're like me and your wardrobe leans heavily towards black, start by introducing pink as an accent. Think a vibrant fuchsia handbag with an all-black ensemble, or a delicate pale pink scarf draped over a black trench coat. Even a statement pair of pink heels or some chunky pink jewelry can instantly elevate a simple black outfit, making it feel fresh and intentional. It's a fantastic way to honor my love for pink without straying too far from my comfort zone of wearing black. For those days I want pink to be more central, I'll often choose a black base and build from there. Imagine a sleek black skirt or tailored trousers paired with a soft pink blouse or a bright pink knit sweater. The black anchors the look, making the pink feel more refined and less 'girly,' if that makes sense. I've found that even a hot pink blazer over a black camisole and black jeans can transform a casual look into something effortlessly stylish and put-together for a night out. Don't be afraid to play with different textures too! A satin pink camisole peeking out from under a black leather jacket? Absolutely stunning. A fluffy pink sweater with black pleather pants? A match made in heaven. The contrast in textures adds another layer of interest to the pink and black dynamic. Another tip from my own experience: consider the shade of pink. A pastel pink brings a softer, more romantic vibe, perfect for daytime or a brunch date. A bold, electric pink screams confidence and is amazing for making a statement. Even a dusty rose looks incredibly elegant with black. So, whether your favorite color is pink in its brightest form or its most subdued, there's a black pairing waiting for you. Ultimately, combining pink and black isn't just about fashion rules; it's about expressing yourself. For me, it's a way to reconcile my inner 'pink girl' with my practical, 'always wears black' side. It proves that you don't have to choose between your favorite hues; you can blend them into something uniquely you. So, next time you're wondering if pink goes with black, just remember: it not only goes, it *flourishes*! Give it a try, you might just find your new favorite combo.

I was almost fired wearing my hair like this...🥺🥴
So back before I became a mom, my life consisted of working, school and living paying bills. The typical early twenties lifestyle, nothing special. I was a housekeeper at an upscale retirement facility and was basically told I would be fired if I didn't remove the blue color from my braids..

“you’re wearing too much blush”
If you’re wearing “too much” blush, you’re doing it right. Blush usually fades, so you want to add it a lot for it to last. Plus, it’s just fun and my favorite step in my makeup routine. I own about 20 blushes, including Pūrlisse Cheek + Lip in Pink Crush & Nude Sugar, Canmake Glow Fleur Blush
