red and pink?

cardigan and dress - topshop, shoes - asos

yes, i realise i'm about a year too late jumping on the buckle wedge bandwagon! i'd been wanting these shoes or similar ones for a really long time but just never got round to ordering them, but then these popped up in the asos sale for something crazy like 65% off so i had to have them. they're so comfortable! and have just the right height of wedge for me so i can wear them out and about. i really would like some more wedges in my wardrobe because they're so my kind of shoe, a heel without really being a heel, so i might have to order myself a few (cheap, if possible) pairs for winter.

am i imagining it, or is there some sort of saying about how you shouldn't wear pink with red? well, nevertheless, i think this doesn't count because it's burgundy and pastel pink rather than red and pink. i think this outfit is a bit boring, i'm really going to have to start accessorising!

  2. When I saw your title, gotta admit, my first reaction was not a particularly favourable one.. but that looks really pretty together! I love both those items separately & they really work together too. I think like you said, because it's burgundy & pale pink..

    That dress is just so pretty on you. Lovely :)

    Btw, that bag is quite amazing!

  4. Simple outfit. But I think it does work really well :) Wedges are the best, I think they are so much more comfortable than just normal heels, and way easier to walk in :)

  5. Great colors! Red and pink do not shock me, except if the red and the pink are very flashy

  6. everyone says you should NEVER mix pink and red, but I think Hot pink and bright red are the two most wonderful colours together.Pink red and orange, even better. And besides, designers like Marimeko's trademark designs are Pink flowers on red background.

    Love the shoes, I've been thinking about buying those myself.

  7. Haha I seem to have jumped on the bandwagon to late with certain things recently too - mainly clogs. I hated them all summer, then ended up getting a pair, although they aren't that clog-like so maybe it doesnt count!
    I like this outfit, it's funny, the outfits that you feel boring in can look amazing in the eyes of other people. You still look very stylish and lovely as always, not boring at all! x

  8. I think pink and red go quite well together, to hell with vague sayings! I love what you've done with the colors here, especially that stripey bag. Well done. :)

  9. I think you've pulled off the pink and red look quite nicely. I have a dress that's a similar colour to yours, and I never really know what other colours to pair it with, so I'm definitely going to be taking this into account next time I wear it!
