Classic Pink Pop

So, I kind of teeter-totter between trying to be "super professional" and "I don't want to be super professional" at work these days. As I've mentioned before, most of the teachers at the school dress quite casually, more casual than even my most casual, to be honest. So, sometimes, when I "dress up" (i.e. wear dress pants), I feel like a stuffy fuddy-duddy! However, in this case, throwing in this pop of color (remember when that term was a fashion "thing?") in BRIGHT PINK made me feel a little more relateable, a little more fun, and a lot more Barbie. ;)

Pink + Paisley

{dress: lulu's | blazer: forever 21 (similar) | necklace: bauble bar | booties: forever 21 (similar)}

I've had this blazer for quite awhile, but I've only ever worn it once! The bright color and the length are challenging for me! I don't wear a lot of pink, so I was a little clueless about what to pair this with, and because I'm fairly short, this longer, mid-thigh length makes me feel even shorter when paired with the wrong proportions!

Still, I think these pieces worked well together! I picked up on the hints of pink in this bright paisley print dress, and then topped it with this statement necklace. This necklace may have been a bit much on top of the pop of color and busy print, and truth be told, the tortoise shell was a bit less obvious and matter than I expected, but I think it was a fun touch.

How do you incorporate pops of color into your looks?
