I wanted to do a pink look that wasn't too "bubblegum." This is a more sophisticated pink look which could be more work-safe and not necessarily spring or summer-inspired. Pairing pops of color like pink with neutrals like gray or taupe can give just the right amount of color against a subdued background.
