Here I am rockin a 1970's polyester chiffon maxi-dress at a summer wedding (bought at the AMAZING Toronto vintage store "I Miss You" on Ossington Street)
Vintage Dame loves pink! The bolder the pink the better! In college I had my room painted a deep fuschia, so gorgeous! That is until one of my gross housemates said it reminded him of a vagina - needless to say that wasn't the look I was going for! Pink looks especially lovely when paired with grey, white or even dark blue denim.
As the stylish fashion editor Maggie belted out in Funny Face:
"To the women of America..."—no, make it to the women everywhere: "banish the black, burn the blue, and bury the beige! From now on girls..." "Think pink! think pink! when you shop for summer clothes. Think pink! think pink! if you want that quel-que chose. Red is dead, blue is through, Green's obscene, brown's taboo. And there is not the slightest excuse for plum or puce —or chartreuse. Think pink! forget that Dior says black and rust. Think pink! who cares if the new look has no bust. Now, I wouldn't presume to tell a woman what a woman oughtta think, But tell her if she's gotta think: think pink—!"

Pink Secretary Chic by Roberto Cavalli, imagine it with a slim grey pencil skirt - delicious!
