BRIGHT PINK SWEATER TO END FEBRUARY : PANTONE'S "PINK PEACOCK"

Hope all of you had a fabulous February! We had yet another snow/ice day and school was canceled again. There is no sign of Spring yet, but no harm in being hopeful. Usually, we go out for dinner on Valentine's Day, and I love an excuse to get dressed. This year with the bad weather, and icy roads, it was comfort which took over. I knew I wanted to stay within the pink zone when I was planning my outfit. Could not let all those fabulous lipstick to go to waste, could we! Hope you liked my previous post on Pink Lipstick for Valentine's Day?

"Pink Peacock," has been described as being tantalizingly theatrical pink, which fans out to a feast for eyes. It is one of Pantone's picks for Spring-Summer 2019.  Each season, the Pantone Color Institute creates the Fashion Color Trend Report: a color overview for the new year. For the last 20 years, Pantone's Color of the Year has influenced product development and purchasing decisions in multiple industries, including fashion, home furnishings, and even industrial design. The Color of the Year selection process requires thoughtful consideration and trend analysis.

An oversized sweater and jeans are my uniform for most of Winter, as it just screams comfort. Extra brownie points if it happens to be in a bright color, as in this case. Pink can be a tricky color to pull off, I understand. Balancing off a bright color makes it trickier. But when you have a great pair of jeans, then everything falls right into place. I swear by my Jeggings from American Eagle. They make everything look good. I carried off the comfort vibe with this outfit, but you can surely style this sweater with a leather skirt and some booties. Maybe that's an idea that I can explore in a future post.

Coming back to the sweater, I had fallen in love with its neckline, when I first saw it 7 years ago. Yes, it's an old sweater. I was almost in the last phase of my pregnancy and did not want to buy any more maternity clothes. So I picked up something which had room for me to grow in. I knew I could style a slouchy sweater later on. It took me so long, for this sweater to finally make it to the blog. Its a very bright shade of pink, and I wanted it to be a casual outfit when I finally styled it for the blog.

From outfits to life! From a sweater, I had bought in the final stretch of my pregnancy to the final stretch of my second Master's. Working on my Capstone project now and making the last few weeks count. Its been a wonderful two years, and I am so blessed to have met all the wonderful people who were a part of this journey with me. I am on a job quest and it has been an interesting journey so far.

What did you wear for Valentine's Day? Did you go the comfy route like me or was it something more formal? So here's ending February on a bright pink note!
