Fashion: Summer in Pink

Hello again MBG readers! Lauren here. 


Summer is  here {where did Spring go!?}, & I'm looking towards my favorite bright colors to start incorporating into my wardrobe. If there is one season to go all out in color, it's Summer. So, today I am sharing one bright bold color that will never go out of style - pink.


Image sources {clockwise}: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5
From neon pinks to pale pinks, to a peachy pink, I love it all. Do you? 

*Note: Remember when wearing pinks to not go too Barbie. Wear a pink dress and add in neutral colors, or go neutral and add in fun pops of pinks. :)
Stay chic,
