Yes, I understand you’re probably thinking Lily, we’re not 6 year old anymore. We do not wear the color hot pink from head to toe. We do not want to look like cotton candy and give everyone diabetes just looking at us. But if you’re like me and pink is one of your favorite colors, then let me explain how hot pink is actually a pretty wearable color.
So there are 2 ways you can break down the color: adding a neutral color or adding a neutral print. Adding a neutral is easy. Since neutral colors go with pretty much anything, including hot pink. So try pink dress and white blazer, pink dress and black shoes. Or my favorite – pink and grey/silver accessories.
Another quick way to tone down this pinkness is to add a neutral print. That includes any print or pattern of neutral colors: leopard print, zebra print. You can try leopard print heels, black and white patterned clutch, etc. Leopard is my favorite animal print ever. And the best part, it goes perfectly with my favorite color!
So do you wear hot pink? What is your favorite way to make it a wearable color?

I also love hot pink and I liked the way you styled the dress, with the leopard print shoes, really classy! I think your tips are really good, grey or white, that makes hot pink even lovelier! I think you look very beautiful, as usual, and I loved the pictures! Hope you have a lovely week!
