in Celebration of the Deep Pink Rose

The first collage is how I styled this Carolina Herrera pink, tuxedo maxi dress. I was inspired by deep pink roses. I chose the three strand, pearl necklace because I thought it would fill in the open area of the neckline. Pearls are a classic accessory for formal wear.  I chose the pearl stud earrings with the diamond leaves to coordinate with the necklace and to repeat the shape of the rose leaves. I chose the pink satin sling back heels because of their simple design, fabric and color. I thought they would blend into the hem of the gown. I chose the "watered silk" evening bag for its color and textured pattern. I chose the diamond and ruby cocktail ring for its rose design, color and to coordinate with the diamond leaves on the earrings. The second collage was styled by the majority of my Lovely Readers. 💖
