Hot Pink The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book & Fancy Friday

Don’t we all just love this colour: Hot Pink! Luscious, charming, enchanting, it has it all! And while we always see a lot of red in December, we decided to choose hot pink instead! And you all agreed, as we have so many entries! And such gorgeous ones, so let’s take a look!

Shelbee of Shelbee On the Edge and myself started this series after we had hosted The Bad Buy Book for a year. Now we are ready for a new challenge! Every 15th of the month we show our Good Buy or Good-Bye item. And we want you to join!

What is The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book about?

It is a collage of outfits! You can choose yourself whether you want to show a Good Buy (which is an item you are really exited about) or a Good-Bye ( which is an item you are going to say good bye to). We will keep buying a Bad Buy from now and then, you know, it was so cheap, you were in a hurry and really wanted(needed) to buy something etc. But of course we also have those purchases that can make us so very happy. A piece of clothing that you have had for years and that you also wear a lot. Or something you bought on a holiday, and every time you wear it you get that holiday feeling back. Every month you can choose which item you want to send in. A Good Buy or a Good-Bye. We will provide a theme for each month!

So let’s start with The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book: Hot Pink!

First my dear blogging friend and co-host Shelbee of Shelbee on the Edge

hot pink

If Barbie wore tie dye, I think it would be super bright pink like this old hoodie of mine. It was gifted to me a few years ago for a brand collaboration and while I don’t love the fabric, I do love the colors and wear this hoodie more frequently than I expected. So I guess it is a Good Buy (even though it was gifted)!

 

Sheila of Ephemera

Hot pink is a colour that makes me feel powerful and strong, and I love that it’s become a trend. It is all about taking up space and saying “I’m HERE.” I used to hate pink when I was younger, but as I’ve gotten older and more at home in my skin, I like how this bright pink makes me feel: “I am Woman, hear me roar!” (thank you, Helen Reddy).

This bright pink/magenta quilted vest I thrifted 2 years ago is a fun way to add a vivid pop of color to a winter outfit.

 

Michelle of Funky Fashion Style

Shocking pink is about the only shade of pink that looks good on me, so I was happy to find this top. Sadly, I could never figure out a way to make it look good. Left unbelted, it hung like a sack. But wearing a belt looked weird with the ruffle. So it was a Good-bye.

eyelet top
This eyelet top was a good buy. It’s such a pretty color and I love anything in eyelet!
pink ton sur ton outfit
As much as I like pink and how this outfit turned out, I would have to say this is a Good-Bye. It’s a powerful look but I work from home and rarely go into the office. And when I travel for work I create a capsule and an all pink capsule would be too much. The pieces can be styled casually though, so maybe it is a Good Buy?
Kathrine of Kathrine Eldridge
The trend, barbiecore

I love this theme so I had to share.  I loved the idea of doing an elegant Barbiecore look for a night out so I chose to add this quilted jacket to skinny jeans.  The suede heels keep the pink palette going.

pink boots
I have been loving the bright pink and I couldn’t resist these boots when I won a giveaway from the company.
I am sure I’m going to be wearing them loads!!
Heather of Bauchle Fashion
hot pink little bag

This hot pink satchel is a Good Buy and a Bad Buy in a sense because at the time when I bought it, I wanted something other than black. The bright hue was refreshing and fun. The Bad Buy that goes with this is how it can’t hold a lot of items.

Jacqui of  Mummabstylish
winter coat with accessories
Here’s my offering for the new challenge.
It’s my new Navy coat with cerise scarf and beanie hat.  Both in my favourite colour!
sweater over tulle skirt

I bought this pink floral skirt from C&A a couple of years ago and I’ve only worn it twice…I don’t know why but I just don’t feel right whenever I wear it. Perhaps I’m just not a ditzy floral prints kinda gal? I think it might be time for it to go. As for the pink sweater, I’m also having a few issues with it. I love the colour and the print but there’s just something I’m unsure about it. But I’m not quite ready to let it go though…not yet!

And here is my hot pink item!

hot pink sweater with green skirt and green blazer

This hot pink is actually not even a good colour on me, especially not in winter. But I couldn’t resist this simple yet gorgeous sweater. Perfect to wear under a jacket or blazer. And isn’t it just beautiful with green! It for sure is a Good Buy!

January’s theme will be: Sneakers!

And now hop over to Shelbee’s blog to see what the other fashion bloggers are wearing!

I love seeing all of these different pinks! It seems most everyone likes their pink, right? Thanks for the link party!
