I rarely wear pink. It’s not that I don’t like pink, I just don’t like wearing it much. I mostly wear black, blue or bold colours. My sister often encourages me to mix it up with a little pink, so when I spotted this cardigan, I thought of her. Put a pink cardigan with a cream lacy top and a sky blue belt and you have shabby chic.
Top: Target
Cardigan: Target
Pants: Purchased last year (2009) from Target
Belt: $1 Vinnies Op Shop
Earrings: Eclectic Dreams
Boots: Half price from Mika Boutique on Main Street Caloundra. Also worn in Brown and Black, Feminine and Casual Elegance
What I love most: The Foley China teacup. It was my mums. And I like the top too: it’s pretty.
Tip: If you need some inspiration for an outfit, think of a decor theme and do a Google image search. I was thinking Shabby Chic. Here’s some themes you may like to use.

Another tip: Don’t be afraid to mix the old with the new. The top and cardigan are new, the pants are last season and the belt is vintage. I love what Drew Barrymore wore to the Nylon Magazine/Express party this week in Los Angeles. Her Op Shop dress was $25 (US) and the Yves Saint Laurent “Tribute” pumps were $760 (US). That’s really mixing it up isn’t it?

You should wear more pink, it really suits you Kelly! I also love twin sets any colour, they are coming back into fashion.
Yes, there are a lot around. Perfect for spring.

Loving the pink cardy. It looks great on you
I love Shabby Chic. I’m trying to convince my hubby to let me redecorate our bedroom but for some reason, he won’t let me 
hehe… I don’t think my husband would let me put a lot of pink in our room either. Party poopers.
The pink cardy looks gorgeous! I love love love pink, but come to think of it, i don’t wear much of it…
Have a great day!

Thanks K. I’m going to try and balance out my wardrobe a little. Can’t wait to see some of your photos. It’s been a while.
Cute outfit! The cardigan is gorgeous. I wear mostly black, grey and red and navy. I love pink too – i usually wear it in summer.
Lovely summer colour isn’t it. It just says “fresh” and “pretty”
