I’ve always loved pink as a colour because it’s such a vivacious and energetic colour to wear. In a recent visit to Rome, Italy, HM Queen Silvia of Sweden also had pinks in her wardrobe. She looked just as stunning and radiant in this fuschia jacket as in a vibrant pink wrapped shawl (featured in SvD.se) for a gala dinner.
I couldn’t help but fall in love with the deeper pinks for this spring season in Sweden and I’ve chosen several pink-envies in the emsemble above. I’m still loving all things draped, so this deep pink draped strapless dress from Lanvin with a ruched detail to the bust line is what I’d wear for a fun evening out.
I love pairing pink with gold and I’d wear the Lanvin pink draped strapless with a pair of Nicholas Kirkwood gold leather sculptural platform shoe (Metallics are strong for this season too on the catwalks), and a Philippe Audibert gold tone bracelet with a quilted finish.
To the top right is a deep rose coloured dress by Donna Karan. This dress is a lightweight linen blend bandeau dress with a pleated full skirt that looks extremely summery! I could see this dress paired with flats or with stiletto heels such as the Rupert Sanderson metallic gold leather pumps in Mary Jane style. The black mesh overlay gives the shoes an interesting detail.
The fuchsia cotton twill trench coat is by Marc by Marc Jacobs – very young and stylish and something that I would pair with a pair of ballerina flats. One of my favourite envies of the season for hot pink flats by Jimmy Choo. These flats are perfect for the day in the city with a gold buckle detail on the front, softly rounded toes and a rubber gripped sole.
Some gold accessories for pink outfits that I love are the gold tone double link necklace with a T-bar clasp to fasten by Kenneth Jay Lane and the Pippa Small three stone necklace.
