Color story: Rose

While I love my fair share of sparkling accessories and items from the pink family of colors, I've never been a over-the-top frilly sort of girl who only seeks out the stereotypical feminine items. Classic black pieces, patterns, and brights are my go-to looks, but every once in a while a good rose colored hue can add so much to a setting. I have to assume it's that little girl inside craving something pink, so I figured the best way to satisfy that need is to scatter various shades of the color throughout the house. Whether it is a pastel pair of sunglasses, a punchy pink fabric, or the softest hint of rose on a necklace, it's surprising how uplifting the feminine color can be. I don't think I'll ever be able to give up my black denim and LBD's, but a touch of rose now and then might become a common theme.
