But I’ve always disliked the color for some reason. Almost my whole life, black has been my favorite color or my go-to color, and after I started style blogging, I pretty much started embracing all colors – except pink. There are a few shades of pink that I don’t mind wearing like, extremely-light-almost-looks-like-white pink or pinks-that-are-almost-coralish-orange. In fact purple has always been my substitute for pink.
So for someone who dislikes a color this strongly and for so long, I must have been freaking out of my mind when I bought these pink pants. I honestly have no idea what went through my mind when I bought them (online). I only remember thinking that they looked quite good (??) and since the time they’ve arrived home in a neat package, they’ve been sitting in my closet all wrapped up and still in their cover. Every time I open my closet, I look at them dully hoping to utter some stupid spell like “Sunshine daisy butter-mellow, turn this stupid pink pant yellow!” and change its color!
And then I thought.. what the heck??! When I can carry off a scorching pair of red pants with such panache, why can’t I carry off pink? I mean technically it is supposed to be THE COLOR for girls (who ever set that stupid “rule”)
Anyway… I feel it looks good. On its own it looks nice but not nice enough to make me like pink. Yet!

Pink was once upon a time my favourite color. And then black happened to me.
But I have to say I like you more in this pink than in the *cringes in apprehension* red pants, Chandana.
Don't hate me?? 😛
Thanks for dropping by my blog!
Love those adorable pink pants<3
oh you look very pretty in pink
Some shades of pink I like, but the one you're wearing is almost like the pinkest pink of them all. It is a difficult colour to carry off, I must say the pants look very good on you 🙂
You look fantastic in pink!! Love those!! Looks fantastic with the stripes. I hear you on pink, I hated the colour growing up, everything was blue or black for me to wear. But, I've come around to the colour and have stuff in it! It does suit you very much!! Hope your week is going well doll! 🙂
How i love the pink! 😀
I used to hate pink too. Not so much anymore. Since I'm dark, I've always felt that pink won't suit me. But now, if the dress treats the colour well, I'll go for it. I mostly go for the dark, almost fuschia pink.
This combo is good. The black and white of the top kinda breaks the bubblegum-ness (I didn't know what other term to use :P) of the pink.
Hmm … like you Iʻve never really been fond of pink, but I have to say that pink is gorgeous on you! It plays so nicely off the bold black and white stripes. 🙂
Black is like forever.
But pink doesn't always have to be bad either.I mean how can colours define anything…its just a color like any other color..Anyhow, nice match.
It looks nice, and i dont have anything pink in my wardrobe except for a dark pink bag which i absolutely love! 🙂
Looks fab!
now i need a pair of pants in Pink & Red ASAP 😉
love the pink with stripes! very nice outfit!

I really like the stripes paired with pink. Cute look!
I absolutely dread to wear pink pant! But I somehow liked the combination of pink with black and white stripes! I guess combination makes a difference!
This stripe has been worn to death with red denims. Your combo is fresh and fun. I like your shoes too! So pretty!
Loving the Pink pants!
Thanks for participating!!!
You look so pretty! I like the pink with the striped shirt! Nice pictures!

i love the pants and the pumps. Where did you buy the pants online?
You look so pretty in pink, doll! Love the lil detail of your striped tee! Thanks for your sweet comment!
These look fantastic! The wide stripes on the shirt make the pink look less “girly” so to speak. Great outfit all around…and great Harry Potter reference as well 😉
Fabulous outfit, i love your pants.

I detest baby pink! So the pants….I cant make myself like it. But yeh funky pink wud be sexy if worn properly.
Love the neckpiece.
I don't think I feel quite as strongly about pink as you do, but I do tend to avoid wearing it – I haven't quite pinpointed the reason why. But if you can conquer your aversion to pink and wear it so beautifully, we you do – these pants fit you like a glove! – then I can do it, too. Looks like it's time to add a little pink to my closet 🙂
xox,
Cee
I am loving this skinny pink jeans 🙂 The striped top is absolutely an awesome topper 🙂
That outfit is great! You should wear those pink pants more often:)
Best,

Pink doesn't look bad at all. I am not huge of pink either. But I don't hate even.. Ur Tee goes well with it. Nice neck piece 😀
I'm a big fan of the pink / navy stripes combination. You look great!

I am not the typical pink lover..but thr does exist some mystical force that draws me towards PINK 🙂
I think you rock this look..that's a lovely shade of pink and you wear it really really well 🙂
I never wore pink as a kid, but now I wear it all the time.

Pink didn't only creep to your closet. I'm not a particularly big fan of the color but about 20% of my closet is pink. It's weird but before I realized it pink took over my wardrobe!
I'm glad you gave the color a try since it looks great on you!
very beautiful outfit!
