Pink + Black


{Aryn K dress, vintage Christian Dior sweater, Aldo Calcagni wedges}





Holiday Party Season has started and I've kicked things off on a pink note. I remember when I was a little girl I would dress my Barbie dolls up in pink, poofy dresses, shocking neon plastic pumps and comb out their hair really, really big. Not much has changed since then, except for maybe the big hair part. I still have an affinity for pink that runs deep. Something about this dress reminds me of the Eighties, Madonna and Jennifer Garner in 13 Going on 30. It's always the unexpected pieces that play a role in making fashion so exciting!

In the first photo I thought you had dyed your hair a shade of purple/pink. I guess the vibrant color of the dress is just THAT strong haha! You look lovely xxx
