Brought to you by Motorola Moto X: Thousands of combinations. Design yours.
I always return to pink.
I wrote, a couple of weeks ago, about needing a new winter coat. I did consider tailoring my old coat so that it would fit again, but the proportion of the pockets and lapels would look wrong on me now. So I ordered the pink coat I’d featured and even though it’s not my usual favorite shape, I love it! I suspect the color may be clouding my vision — my rose-colored vision — but I’m fine with that.
Motorola has just come out with the Moto X, which can be customized in 2000+ ways to match your unique style. So what color did I choose to inspire me as I put together a style post? If you didn’t shout PINK!, you must be new here. Hello!

Moto X, Motorola
The perfect pink, with red for some kapow.
Someone noted that I seem to be wearing pants a lot more lately, which is true. I still rock a skirt or a dress pretty often, but now instead of only breaking out the pants a handful of times per year, it’s a more even mix. Pink though, is still ever-present in my wardrobe. Do you have a color that you always return to like that?

What do you wear with the red pants? I have a pair in a similar shade and I can’t decide how to style them.

Ummm, how did I miss this post? Love the ensemble. I love those glasses, I might need the black licorice ones. They’re fab and maybe a little more conservative. I always get nervous about coloured frames. I’m such a wimp!

I think it was me that mentioned the pants :) and I like it.

Back around 1984 while in college, I saved for weeks to purchase a pale pink wool coat from The Limited that has a peter pan collar. I ADORED that coat. When I got married, my husband thought it was pink overload :( and I put it away and forgot about it, and now I’m sure it doesn’t fit but I do still have it stowed in the hope chest. I’m so happy that the 80s are back in style, leggings, pink coats, etc. — michele

all cute. I have to say my go to color is black – I know, I know…. I am one of those people. I just feel so comfortable in it and it can easily be transitioned throughout the seasons – it is a color that you can always find in a store.

I love those pants, I have them in black too!

Pink is the best – bought myself some bright pink shoes from Boden for the fall, and they are the best thing I have in my closet!

i think that pink is way overrated
unless its very light pink, its just makes you look older ;)

I find I’m seasonal in the colors I wear — darker for late fall/winter and brights for spring/summer.
For my home, my favorite is turquoise! But, I bought a gorgeous pink coat a couple years ago from Banana Republic for an awesome sale price. Fortunately/unfortunately, I lost weight and had to give it away. Lucky friend. I’m loving the pink Kate Spade purse you show.

I am constantly drawn to navy and gray. I definitely have to limit myself when shopping!
Rachel
I ALWAYS go back to shades of turquoise or aqua blue for both fashion and home. If it works, then work it!
Also, I just read your post about meeting Martha – how LOVELY!
Making it Lovely
That was a dream come true, literally.

Oh you naughty woman, those shoes in gray are calling out to me!! must resist….must resist…..Oh what the heck!!!
Making it Lovely
Haha!

So happy to hear that you were able to find a new coat! It’s a pretty choice, too. Though it’s such a pale shade of pink, it almost looks white, online!
Did you have an opportunity to see how pink it truly is, in-person, before purchasing it? Or, did you take a leap of faith; and just order it online?
Best,
Jessica
Ps. I know you’re a huge Rifle Paper fan – as am I. And, this past weekend, I actually had a chance to visit her studio. (It’s gorgeous!) Feel free to peruse some of what I shared, from my experience.
Making it Lovely
It is very pale. I ordered, making sure that I could easily return it for a full refund if needed. And how awesome to be able to visit the Rifle Paper Co. shop! I love love love Anna Bond’s style.
Jessica @ Of Sand & Snow
Ditto! (Actually, I think I first read about her, through Making it Lovely… So, thanks for introducing me to her! lol.)

Well you certainly deserve a new coat! The most important pieces of clothing a girl can own is her coat and her bathrobe. They ought to be nice. The colors I always choose? Black, dark brown, navy, and aqua. Not too exciting.
Making it Lovely
I never thought of a bathrobe on par with an overcoat, but I like that thinking.
ryan
I think we might be total style opposites. I could go days without wearing anything but black and grey! I love all of your bright and feminine choices but for some reason when I shop I never buy anything colorful.
Making it Lovely
And I rarely buy black and grey. It washes me out.
Laura
I’d like to see a picture of you wearing the pink coat!
Making it Lovely
I have a lot of travel coming up for the next two weeks, but I’ll be sure to take one when I’m back!
Catherine
Okay, that phone is kind of cool! I have an Android, and while it’s not a big deal, I always wish it could look prettier. Love your coat!
Amanda
Uh, I let out an audible excited “ohh” when I saw the shoes. You’re not alone.
Amber
I did, too. Those shoes are awesome!
