HOT PINK DRESSES.....COATS.....AND SHOES....OH MY

Hot pink dresses

 If you happen to be a colorphobe and looking for ways to dip your toe into the crayon box, I have three ideas...start with a dress, coat, or shoes in a kick ass color, such as hot pink.   A dress because you're already feeling festive and feminine, a coat because you'll wear it everyday in cold weather, plus it's usually closest to your face where you really need some color, or shoes because they are a great way to add a small touch of color to an otherwise neutral outfit.

 "A pink dress, matching bow and her pony tail"  George Strait

I absolutely love a shirt dress, which is flattering to almost any figure.  The only thing better than a shirt dress?....a hot pink shirt dress!

"Pink is the color of romance and a friend told me that the girl in the pink dress is always the one selected to dance"  Alfred Carl Hottes

                Hot pink coats

Imagine brightening up a grey winters day with a hot pink overcoat.  Everyone will smile at you and you know it's more flattering than that boring black one you almost bought.

 "I fell off my pink cloud with a thud"  Elizabeth Taylor

 "Whoever said orange was the new pink was seriously disturbed"  Elle Woods

                 Hot pink shoes

Basic black pants, check, basic black sweater, check, hot pink shoes...you rule!!!

" I believe in pink"  Audrey Hepburn

I love the idea of a bride in hot pink shoes.....why oh why didn't I think of that?

Would this outfit be worth a second look if not for the shoes?

Again, a touch of hot pink  saves the day.

Have a beautiful day.

HOT PINK LOVE IN THE BEDROOM.....AND THE BATHROOM....AND THE KITCHEN

Hot pink love in the bedroom

Intense, romantic and modern, hot pink will always make you and your guests look good and feel energized, making it the perfect color for the bedroom, bathroom, kitchen or any room in your house.  
Sexy bold hot pink has a thoroughly modern sensibility....and you know how much I love that!

The pillow says it all.

You had me at hot pink shag rug!

Are you noticing what a great couple hot pink and black make?

A nice juxt of modern and traditional.

              Hot pink love in the bathroom

I actually have a hot pink and black bathroom...which I love....even though Braxton thinks the color is a little too "Pepto Bismol".

Bold stripes in a bold color....count me in.

When I saw this, I realized how unusual it is to see mirrored furniture mixed with bold wall color.  Love this.

Personally, I think the brown floor and cabinets must go....otherwise it's very nice.

             Hot pink love in the kitchen

You guys know how much I love a modern kitchen, and what could be better than a modern hot pink kitchen!

Hello lover.

This just says happy to me!

Love the super shiny surfaces.

I would smile and dance and sing in this room.....although again, I really don't like the choice of flooring.

For all you traditionalists out there....consider painting your cabinets hot pink.

I think this may be my favorite picture of the day....oh joy, oh bliss.

What's your favorite way to decorate with hot pink?   Bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, or all three.

Have a beautiful day.

HOT PINK: SEXY, SASSY AND PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS

You may think that a color as bossy as hot pink would not play well with others....not so.  I believe that when dealing with a very sexy sassy color, you have two choices....use your bold color as an accent, leaving your other colors neutral  or....pair your bossy color with an equally bold one.  The trick is to make certain that the two sexy sassy colors are equally bright and saturated.
I've chosen three color combos to illustrate....first up
{hot pink and turquoise.}

 Pink is the color of happiness.

 Pink stimulates energy.

                                                        {Hot pink and orange}

Pink is associated with love and romance.

 Pink has a calming effect.

 Pink represents unconditional love the nurturing.

                                                                   {Hot pink and navy}

 Pink is a sign of hope.

 Pink signifies good health.

Of the three color combinations:  hot pink and turquoise, hot pink and orange, or hot pink and navy, which is your favorite?  Have you ever decorated with these combinations?  Worn them?  Dreamt of them?

Have a beautiful day.
