Pretty in Pink

.
I never think of anything remotely girly as being my style. (Although I do like a bow at the neck, that is purely ironic.) But I found this collection beautiful. Maybe it's more my style than I think.

I like how the fabric makes this look super rich
and prairie-girl at the same time.

(Plus, pockets in fancy dresses are pretty high up on
my list of loves. Maybe that is a little ironic
...or just modern.)

You won't often catch me in anything less than a 3-inch heel, unless it's a pair of Jack Purcells. But these are too sweet to ignore:
