Do you ever go through phases with colors? I feel like everyone does that when they're a little kid, but I feel like I totally do that as an adult too.
I was never one of those little girls that completely loved or completely hated the color pink. I mean I was never opposed to pink, but I was never really crazy about it. Sometime in college I became a big pink fan and it's stuck with me ever since.
Okay, so now the pink that I'm drawn to is bold and bright. I think pink is a color that you can get away with year round and right now it's a color I've been drawn to in a sea of dark fall and winter colors.
Gap got the best of me again and I picked up two more sweaters from their new arrivals. I had a coupon (of course), so that did help with the situation.
This first one is just a basic pink crewneck. I have a 3 size range in Gap sweaters and I went with my largest in this one to give it a roomier fit if I want to layer and more length. (They also didn't have the next size down in this color, so I was glad it worked.)
The next sweater is a total throwback to a J.Crew top from last winter. I actually tried the J.Crew shirt in store, but was between sizes and didn't love it enough to pay $45 for a knit tee. The whole neon and stripe thing stuck with me, though, so I was super happy when I saw Gap come out with this sweater. It was online, then disappeared, and now seems to be back (but the way Gap is promoting it I don't know if it will be around for long). The bottom is a very dark navy, not black like I'd originally thought. I sized up in this one as well to have a bit more length so I can wear it with my skinnies. The best part is that it's a sweater and it was a chunk cheaper than the J.Crew shirt.

J Crew t shirt (see more striped boatneck shirts)
How freaking cute are those?!? The pink on both sweaters is neon... We're talking quite bright, but I think that's why I love them so much. I'm excited to have a few bright and fun sweaters for those gloomy winter days. I think there's something so cheerful about a pop of bright color in the middle of winter.
My final pink purchase is my Clarisonic Mia 2! I finally got it! I'll have a separate post on that purchase and how I totally lucked out.

What color(s) have you been craving lately?
Are you into brights or darker colors right now?
I love those shirts with bright pops of pink!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I think the color it just too fun to resist! I actually found a striped knit tee just like the J.Crew one at JCP! I didn't get the pink, but I did get the neon yellow one!
