How to style pink 5 ways


Hi my lovelies I thought I'd put together a quick mini guide on how to style the colour pink 5 different ways including the outfit links just in case your in the mood to shop. Pink is my all time favourite spring/summer colour especially pastel pink so you'll definitely see me living in this colour throughout our quarantine summer. So without further ado...


I absolutely ADORE these pink trousers and love how flattering they are. I relish in how versatile these pair of trousers are and can be worn multiple ways one way being smart casual. This is the perfect outfit for the office as the pink trousers brightens the whole ensemble. Pair it with an everyday white shirt and you really can't go wrong. Going along with the theme of smart casual a pair of nude (or either white) loafers ties the whole outfit effortlessly. You could either add a pink bag to this but I opted for a white boxy bag with subtle printed blue handles. These pink trousers have definitely got me lusting after a pink suit!!

Another way to wear pink is very simply and casually by throwing on some blue mom jeans giving the outfit a more relaxed popping out for errands vibe. I'm currently re-vamping my wardrobe and found once I had a huge clear out that I seriously lacked in the tops department. So on my venture of buying more affordable yet fun tops I stumbled across this vibrant balloon sleeved textured pink top from Shein. I find that they have such a diverse range of tops and the best thing is that they're super affordable on the pocket. Just chuck on your favourite pair of comfortable sandals and you're good to go.

I've obsessively spoken about this skirt in a previous post but another way to style this beautiful skirt is chucking on a relatively warm jumper on especially because the spring in Britain can still be chilly majority of the time. Wearing a warn knit allows you not requiring a jacket to brace the British weather. This jumper was actually longer and for this outfit I wanted the jumper to appear more cropped. Therefore, I significantly rolled it inwards and tucked it in only on the sides and a tiny bit at the back so it didn't appear bulgy through my skirt. I've styled down this outfit by adding a pair of chunky white trainers and a matching white envelope clutch.

I'm currently infatuated with blazers and think they well and truly spruce any outfit, upgrading the entire look significantly and gives any outfit a more structured feel. I actually struggled of thinking of different ways to style this particular pink blazer but soon realised you can always rely on a neutral base when it comes to adding a pop of pink (or any colour for that matter) to your outfit. I went for a more sophisticated feel with these tailored white trousers and a fitted v neck white top. You could easily rock this outfit to a dinner swapping the loafers for a pair of nude heels (or you could stick with the loafers).

And we have the show stopper outfit from my mini styling series which is this B E A U T I F U L pink tiered smock dress. This particular dress was designed by yours truly and I just wanted touch on the process a little so you ladies could also attempt in designing and even making your summer wardrobes. It all starts with sourcing the fabric which is more inexpensive than you think. I brought 4 metres of fabric not knowing what my plan was with it. My top tip with fabric would be to buy more than you need just incase it doesn't work out or if your ideas change because you might never be able to get that exact fabric again. So for 4 metres of fabric this cost me £4. Yes you heard me right that's £1 per metre of fabric!

I then start researching what I want to do with the fabric so because I brought 4 metres I knew roughly I wanted some sort of dress. So I start researching different necklines front and back, how I want the arms and the overall style and design of the dress to be. I usually create a mood board for my idea's allowing me to visualise what the dress will look like when it comes together. As I go along I refine my mood board of idea's that I think will work best. For this dress I sent my mood board to a tailor in India to get stitched and this was the final outcome.

I find comfort in designing clothes that are currently in trend whilst adding my own twist in there. The silver lining of this whole process is that it costs a fraction of the price to what you would be paying in high street stores. I relish in the fact that these simple designs result in clothes that you can't get from the high street adding an element of originality to my wardrobe and not worrying that 10 other people might have the same dress.

I hope that I've inspired at least one of you to start creating your own clothes and would love to hear about if if you have! I hope you found some inspiration to style the colour pink in your outfits!
