How I Wore It :: Red + Pink

I have no idea why, but people are scared to death to mix red and pink. Porquoi??? I shall never know. Red heads look particularly amazing in pink, for example. It is one of my favorite color combos {as seen on the ever-popular Georgina Hot Lips dress from my Spring 2011 collection} and I absolutely adore mixing the two any chance I get.

These two colors make me think of a post Anne of The City Sage did last week on playing with pattern which is probably my favorite post she has ever done. Anne quoted the interior designer of the home featured as saying, "it's going to look good, but matching's not the point." I LOVE that quote! Too many people try so hard to match and end up missing the mark. This outfit doesn't necessarily make the boldest of statements as I just focused on red and pink accessories, but it does show a nice example of how to start small. For a big statement look integrate the colors into the entire ensemble {how fab would a pale pink dress and lipstick red trench look?!} Also, notice I am wearing several different shades of each color as well. Moral of the story: have fun and just wear what feels right to you!
