Wedding Wednesday: A Registry Guide

Tuesday's Trend: Think Pink For Spring

( Via: Cosmopolitan )

The runways are currently filled with Fall 2017 fashions, but that seems so long away. With the warm weather that part of the country is experiencing, we all need some immediate gratification. It's time to think Spring, and while we are at it, let's think Pink, too. Yes, all of the girly girls can rejoice. Pink is making a statement, big time. Maybe even more so than the official color of the year, greenery. Pink comes in all shades this year, but it is really the brighter the better. Admittedly, I don't wear too much pink, but with "looks" this good, I think I will give it a go this season. What about you?

HERE: 12 Pretty In Pink Picks

Dolce & Gabbana
Everything is coming up roses with D & G for spring, you'll also see some tropical prints and leopard. Love the pairing of pink with black!
Neiman Marcus & Nordstrom

Aillaa Cape
Now this is an exciting and powerful piece. It will take your black leggings and LBD to a new level this Spring! To find this style just type "cape" in the search box. Also available in a lighter baby pink.
Ted Baker

Wide Leg Jumpsuit
From the JCrew collection, and sensational in a crisp cotton and silk blend. And that color....it's dahlia darlings!
JCrew

Kayu Jen Clutch

Can't do head to toe pink? Add just a pop of pink with this chic clutch.
Moda Operandi

Pink Pleated Skirt
A fun and flattering find for sizes 2 - 12. I might not of styled it with a sweatshirt, but it kind of works for casual chic.
H & M

Limonada Cashmere Wrap
I love cashmere in the warmer months, because it is a natural fiber, it breathes. Available in four stylish shades, this pretty piece will be your go to wrap.
Lilly Pulitzer

Castaner Kuka Pommed Flats

The espadrille gets updated with irresistible pom poms.
Anthropologie

A great layering piece with delicious details. Loving the asymmetrical lines and mirrored buttons. Also in black.

Hand Crochet Stretch Dress

Doesn't this look just scream Spring?
