Code Red

Though I know of many who disagree, pink & red has always been one of my favorite color combinations.  So when this new coat arrived, I knew I wanted to wear it first with some pastel pink pieces.  If you’re wary of trying these hues together, just start small – instead of hot pink & siren red, go for a cherry/blush pairing like I did here.  It creates a much less jarring contrast…and also happens to be perfectly festive for the upcoming holiday!

What I’m wearing:
Ann Taylor blouse (similar), c/o Sheinside coat (here), Worthington pants (on sale here or similar here), Mia wedges (on sale here), c/o Style by Marina snood, Forever 21 bag (here), Bracelets: Forever 21 (similar here or here) & Banana Republic/DIY (similar; see instructions here)

    Such a beautiful color combo! I spotted that F21 bag right away, I loved it at the store, it looks way more expensive than it is and the way your styled it is perfect 🙂

    I am one of those people you are referring too. I think my mother engrained it in me that the two colours didn't belong together. You have paired the hues perfectly and I think my mind is changed.

    Whereas red&pink or red&orange are not my personal favourites, I do like your subtle and much more elegant version of red&pastel pink!

    A red spring coat is already on my shopping list…

    My mother often tells a story about me as a child, telling a stranger that "pink and red clash". But after seeing several pink and red ensembles (including your lovely look), I think my childhood color sense is changing! Great pants too!

    Anytime you can make a coat part of your overall look makes outfit photos in the winter a lot more fun, am I right?! 😉
    You look great (and cozy)!

    I love that bag! And you're right, pairing blush with red is perfect and slightly less jarring. But I do think a bolder pink is doable; maybe you should style something like that later this week!

    Pink and red is such a beautiful combination but I have yet to wear it. I might just have to give it a try for Valentine's Day. I love how you chose soft shades to pair together. That coat is really pretty on you.

    This whole look is just so pretty. I think the coat and the colour are what really make it work.

    I am jealous of those that can make a snood look good. I just look like I have a furry fat neck.

    I personally love pink and red together, but I'm not one to follow fashion "rules". I think the softer pink and red look great like you paired it.. And I am in love with your purse! I need that in my life lol.
