One of my favorite color combinations is green and pink. I love olive with a brighter pink, and this dress, styled with my new pink sandals gives off fresh summer vibes.
Green and Pink Pairing
Just like our roses in the backyard, with pink buds and green stems, this color always makes for a great pairing. This linen plaid dress, has shades of olive and bright pink, and i have had my new (thrifted) Franco Sarto pink sandals as well.
Just notice this glorious living room with its darker olive painted walls, and then pink accents. Fashion and interior design go hand in hand in this regard.
They are complimentary colors on the color wheel, and make a beautiful bold statement, when worn as colorblocking. Here it is a bit more subtle, but still a great mix. If I wanted to be a bit bolder with this dress, I could have added a deep olive green or bright pink purse. In this, case, I kept the woven bag neutral, however.
I am still wearing linen here in the South, as our “Fallish days” don’t really happen until November. Yesterday we went paddleboarding and kayaking, so even 84 felt balmy and cool!
Pink is often associated with romance, femininity, good health and sweetness. According to Sensationalcolor.com, “Green is a symbol of rebirth. It’s the color of youth, prosperity, and progress.”
I have had this plaid Mango dress for a number of years now, and the shape and style give it a bit of a vintage vibe. It was the color palette that caught my eye. I will link up a similar style since this is no longer available.
Are you one to try different color palettes? Do you find yourself sticking to “safe bets?” I love to branch out with fashion, and feel that what is the worst that can happen?
If you prefer pinks near your face as you feel it brightens it up, try a pink blouse with a kelly or olive green pair of pants. Conversely, if you like green in a blouse a light pink or blush skirt would certainly look lovely. Now, if you aren’t sure, you can start smaller with accessories. Pair an all white outfit with a pop of pink and green with your bag and shoes. Or a scarf.
