Wearing Pink in Fall
It may be Fall on paper, but in terms of weather we are still having summer like temperatures. It's not quite time for heavy sweaters yet so I am still loving lightweight fabrics, shorter sleeves and the color pink! Who says pink isn't a Fall color?!
Swing dresses are so popular right now and I'm really embracing this style. I've already styled swing dresses for you in black and blue colors, so why not pink? Swing dresses are perfect for pear shaped women. This dress material hangs beautifully and the loose fabric swinging around my abdomen and hips covers any lumps and bumps that could be there. The material is a lightweight crepe.
What truly sets this dress apart, in addition to the hot pink color, is the beautiful pearl studded neckline. It was the neckline that caught my attention right away when I saw this dress at the Dillard's Outlet at our local outlet mall. The pearl neckline is so dainty and feminine and no necklace is needed!
As with the other swing dresses I have styled, you can dress them up or down depending on where you are going. Adding dressy heels and pearl and pink bracelets takes this dress to a more formal style. I also like the peach color clutch with a fringe tassel. Peach goes well with hot pink and adds a classy touch to the look.
I want to show you the versatility of these swing dresses by styling it casual. Here, I'm wearing the dress tunic style and added a white lace cami and white leggings for a casual on-the-go running errands or lunching out with friends type look. The blue and white dotted flats add a whimsical touch to the look. I love being able to get several outfits from one article of clothing and this pink swing dress fits all my requirements for versatility!
Have you bought any swing dresses? Do you love versatility with clothing? How are you transitioning your wardrobe to Fall? Are you still wearing pink? Hope you'll leave me a message. Your comments make my day!
Until Next Time,

Oh my Debbie, do I love this dress! You look great in that!!! The color is gorgeous first of all, then the pearl neckline, this dress is just amazing. I'd have bought that one in a heartbeat. Reading along, I kept thinking, "I hope she says where she got that dress..." and then you said the outlet and I thought, well, that's that! We don't have a Dillard's outlet, nor did I know Dillard's even had outlets! The second way you styled the dress is just fabulous! I LOVE that lace cami. Was that from the outlet too? And those polka dot shoes, just so, so cute!!! I'll bet you are just thrilled with that purchase as you should be! Maybe I'll have to make one of these dresses, that's one way I could get one! Thank you for the inspiration!
How lovely this pink swing dress is on you! The neckline is unique and works perfectly with your pearl bracelets. I like to see how your choice in clothing leads to such versatility.
I like the shape of swing dresses and of course the bright fun color you're wearing.

Hi Karen: Thank you for your sweet comments about this dress! I love pink and it makes me feel happy to wear this color. On my next post I linked to a Dillard's site that has a couple of these dresses, although in different colors. I couldn't find pink. The lace cami I've had for years. I don't remember where I got it exactly. It has come in handy on several occasion, though. It's unique in that it has sleeves. Have an awesome day!
Thank you, Sharon. You know I like to get a lot of wear, in different ways, from my clothes.
Thanks so much, Carol.
Oh, thanks, Laura! I appreciate your sweet comments!
Thanks, Amy! Pink is a favorite color of mine.
Thanks so much, Patti!
I LOVE wearing shirts under sleeveless dresses. It's one of my favorite ways to remix!
