Wild Rose

 So unless you've been living under a rock for the last month or so so you will know that pink is definitely the colour du jour- more specifically this dusty rose pink in the form of candyfloss soft and oversized coats! I'm not going to give you a 'the best of' as it's been done to death. (Ivelana from Frichic has done a nice post here and she looks amazing in hers!) I love this look and think it is shown especially well in this editorial from Australian Vogue above, mixed with other cosy looking touchable textures in shades of soft grey and damson.

 But alas, when I ventured in to Topshop earlier this week to try on one of these beauties, I discovered that it made me look a bit wishy washy and just didn't really suit me all that much... Add to that the £80 price tag for something that was not only the colour of a wafer but the thickness of it too left me feeling very unconvinced to part with my cash. Perhaps super sweet accessories are the way to go instead?  Something like that enormous knitted Giles beanie?
