Style Diary: Pink Dress
I attribute my increasing appreciation for pink to the many breast cancer charity events that I’ve planned, promoted and executed. It’s the color of choice. It’s symbolic. It’s supportive. It’s feminine. And it creates awareness. I used to hate wearing the color. And still to this day there are certain shades that cause a gag reflex in me – baby pink for instance, is just too …girly (yes! even for me!)
This year already, I’ve spearheaded 4 breast cancer related charitable events, all of course emphasizing the color pink in one way or another. And so I’ve had to find shades that suit me. Somehow in the process, the color has really grown on me.
I found this Zara dress and just had to have it. It was perfect for my many pink-themed events, had the requisite sleeves thus making it appropriate for work and was in a shade I could stand to rock.
I paired it with my Prada purse, also worn in other style diary entries, a giant jeweled necklace from Express and my Marc Jacob lookalike flats also worn here,
I’ve got to get the dress lengthened now that I look at these pictures. Either my legs are longer than I remember or these Zara dresses are cut like minis!
What’s your favorite shade of pink? And what would you call this shade?
