FASHION CHALLENGE: HOW TO STYLE PINK IN F/W

Wearing pink is easy in the spring and summer. How do transition it to fall? How to wear pink without looking Barbie or Cinderella in ball gown? How the wear it day or night?
I Know, for decades, we believed that specific shades could be worn only during certain seasons. And honestly, what a pity! When I think of all the color combinations our outfits have been deprived of because of some antiquated seasonal "rules,"...  Thankfully, those old color rules are fading into oblivion.  One of the most prevalent colors of fall 2014 on runways was PINK. Yes, pink!  You can go pink with coats, shoes, sweaters, pants, skirts, faux furs, bags or other accessories like scarves, earings etc.  Pink is a flattering color if you find the right shade, and it also reads warmer and more classically enchanting than beige or white.  
Some Dos and Don'ts to looking pretty in pink this fall:

DO consider fabric.
Fabrics are key. You can't wear silk skirt (or dress, or blouse, etc.) once the temperature drops. So choose heavier layers. Ribbed tights, chunky sweaters, and wool jackets not only provide extra warmth, they also provide gorgeous textural contrast. 

DO remain neutral.
When in doubt, keep everything else monochrome or super neutral. For example, bright pinks look modern and sleek when paired with all-black, lighter hues feel really luxe with ivory and gray, and peaches have much more depth when worn with taupes and tans. That being said...

...DON'T be afraid to go bold.
The freshest looks on fall's runways were the ones that contained the zaniest color combos: pink with mustard or red or army green or Yves Klein blue. If you're going to go this route, be sure to choose pieces in crisp silhouettes (no ruffles, ruching, or bows, please) and go with strong accessories (square-heeled boots or sturdy flats) to ground the look.
And always, always remember to follow the only fashion rule that matters: Whatever you wear, own it. (from Glamour.com)
