Hello everyone,

As fashion lovers, it is just so easy to be carried away by the newest trends and designs. For my part, I got super excited when I saw that pastel pink coats will be one of the hottest trend this fall/winter season…. because I already own one that I absolutely adore!

“Ha, I am SO ahead of the game!” I thought.

But am I really?

Actually, I didn’t buy that pastel pink coat, because I’m a trend guru and foresaw a few years back that this piece will become super trendy in 2013. No, the truth is simply:

I bought it, because it is an iconic piece to me. I bought it because of Jackie O.

Yes, that’s right. Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was my fashion inspiration for this piece of garment. I wanted to copy the iconic look of her original pink Chanel outfit. An outfit that does not only have its own Wikipedia page, but also it’s own BuzzFeed page. Just as icons do, I guess.

I encourage you to read through those pages after you have read this blog article, because it will tell you that she wore that pink look on Nov 22nd 1963 – the day when her husband  John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas – and how it became a lasting image of American history.

Looking at the calendar, the sad incident happened pretty much exactly 50 years ago! What a great opportunity to show my tribute to Jackie Kennedy Onassis by showing you a set of pictures from my recent shooting with Carolina Caruso Photography!

If you are inspired to get this iconic and super trendy piece yourself, here are a few tips on How To Wear Pastel Pink Coats.

How To Wear Pink Ballerina Flats

Fuchsia pink is a fantastic way to bring in a pop of color into your outfit. If your skin, hair and eyes are cool coloured…

In case the overall look of your hair, eyes and skin is rather warm, I’d recommend you to stay away from fuchsia and go for tangerine instead.

In terms of colour matching, you can try colour-blocking with turquoise, mint or red, if you feel daring. But if you are new to this colour, combining it with neutral colours (black, white, grey, blue) usually works very nicely.

Also be mindful that ballerina flats can visually shorten your legs (whoops!). Hence, make sure you show enough legs or wear skinny jeans versus bootcut jeans.

Here are 3 Ways To Wear Pink Ballerina Flats for your inspiration.
