Besides, these colors are becoming to all skin tones, depending on the hue.  Who doesn’t want that?  Age doesn’t matter when the colors you wear make your skin glow.

The featured colors can be styled romantically as well, for date nights or Valentine’s Day.

Today’s Style Tip Features Blush and Pale Pink

Style Tip — The colors blush and pale pink go with anything, so they may be used as neutrals.

Of course we know that we can mix blush or pale pink with black or white or with blue jeans.  But did you know they can go with anything…any color, any print…anything? You can dial down the girly vibe by choosing streamlined pieces, like a tailored coat; Or you can amplify it with flirty dresses and skirts.

Blush and Pale Pink:  The Color Personality

Blush can be considered an earth tone and goes well with other earth tones such as browns from chocolate to tan, olive, sage, stone, rust, mustard, etc.  Animal prints are included in earth-tone palettes and go with everything. So they are also a good to pair with blush and pale pink. Certain pale tones of pink, such as muted and clay pinks, can be used the same way as blush.

It’s a great color for laid-back utilitarian clothing such as cargo pants, joggers, jumpsuits, military jackets, cutoffs, etc. And it is a delicate feminine color too, so it fits right into Valentine’s and date outfits whether day, night or at home.

For evening, you can give blush or pale pink the ultimate feminine touch by adding iridescent accessories.

Express Your True Self With Color

Blush and light pink can be combined with much more, especially when pink has a degree of paleness that brings it closer to cream or beige.  That’s when the sky is the limit and you can pick absolutely any color to mix them with!  Then blush and pink can combine beautifully with brights, neutrals, even neons such as citrine.

I’m all for freedom in fashion.  Classic is classy and I don’t go berserk.  BUT I do love to experiment.  Freedom of expression is key to artistic creation.

So let me encourage you to free your true self to wear whatever colors you like in combination with blush or pale pink.

Now here are three things that go with anything…all put together at once:  a blush color jacket, a leopard-print top and blue jeans.  Take any one of those and wear it with anything else in your closet.  Mix and match every day and then come back and tell us how many outfit combinations you got out of them!
