A Dusty Pink Jacket: Integrating an Accent Color

May 20, 2015
 
Ahh, sometimes you receive a gift that’s lovely, but…
 
A dusty, soft pink jacket is a wonderful gift – there are few of us who can’t wear this color successfully, but what if you’ve never before owned ANYTHING else in this color?
 
Happily, a coat’s a great thing to integrate into the rest of your wardrobe, because you can wear whatever you want under the jacket, add one well-chosen accessory, and everything will look pulled-together and thought out.
 
Here’s an example of the coat:
 

Coat – Stutterheim

From here, your options are wide open! A beautiful scarf?

 

Coat – Stutterheim, op art scarf – Emilio Pucci, circular patterned scarf – Alexander McQueen, Floral scarf – Charlotte Hudders, roses scarf – kathkath

A beautiful bag is a great idea!

 

Coat – Stutterheim, gold-trimmed leather tote – Michael Kors, leather and  plexi bag – Poupee Couture, shoulder bag – Miu Miu, soft sided tote – My Choice

Lots of other possibilities…

 

Coat – Stutterheim, hat – Missoni, glitter sunglasses – Miu Miu,  belt – Mauro Grifoni,  sunglasses – Sheriff and Cherry, nail polish – Butter  (color Loverly), umbrella – River’s Edge

And don’t forget jewelry. Earrings, a ring, or a bracelet will still be quite visible with your beautiful jacket.

 

Coat – Stutterheim, double arrow bracelet – Dreams of Norway,  moonstone and black pearl earrings – Michelle Oh, rose gold rose  quartz ring – H.Azeem London, rose quartz and blue triangle bracelet –  Maria Lau, rose quartz stud earrings – H.Azeem London, floral brooch – Alok Jain

It’s well worth remembering that, while most of us make sure that our outerwear blends flawlessly into our wardrobe, we could choose something a bit more adventurous, and integrate it into our wardrobe with just a couple of intelligent accessories.

 
love,
Janice

    I love that dusty rose shade! It's not that insipid baby pink, nor brash bubblegum — just an elegant, greyed, grown-up tone. You've found some wonderful pieces here, Janice!

    Love the hat and umbrella, all this person needs is a great pair of fun rubber boots and she is set for the rainy days.

    Such a pretty pink. Love your choices for accessories. The KathKath vintage rose scarf is stunning (and is my third choice from yesterday's post).

    Gosh! Love that umbrella! That would cheer me up on a rainy day.
    It's funny, I've never been a pink person but just lately I've found that a certain blush pink really suits my skin, in fact, it changes the colour of my face quite dramatically (for the better I might add).
    Since buying several pieces in that shade, I've changed some colours in my wardrobe to grey, plum and added more dark navy, (I already have a lot of black).
    That roses scarf would pull one of my ensembles together rather nicely. It is gorgeous.

    Thought I "had" to have a Sutterheim raincoat till tried one on. They are surprisingly heavy and nonbreathable. They are very well-made in a clean, simple style, but I've found that unless you plan to be well and truly drenched, a breathable one is better for walking. I do love that colour, and especially the umbrella.

    Thank you Janice, just the inspiration I needed for my "new to me" gifted dusty pink coat. Ask and ye shall receive.
