Bright pink is such a happy color. It's so unfortunate that many people shy away from it. Some feel that they won't be able to carry it off while others are scared that the outfit will be "too memorable" making it wearable only a couple of times. Whatever your fears may be, it's time to shed them and play with pink.

I think this dress is perfect. It's made of silk, its cut will flatter almost all body types and its simplicity makes it versatile. I dressed it down with a denim jacket for a night out in the city. I also plan to wear it to summer weddings, brunch with my girls and casual dinners.

Here are some other awesome outfits I intend to style with this dress:
- With this belt, this hat and this satchel for brunch.
- With these shoes or this clutch to a summer wedding.
