Trend Alert: Pretty in Pink

Forget your burgundies, blacks and muted greys this autumn because the catwalk and high street have other plans in mind. Namely that we will be casting aside the traditional autumnal hues and opting for, ready for it… pink. Yes beautiful, girly and pretty pink (hurray!)

Normally we will have had our fill of this wondrous colour (I’m a fan, can you tell?!) having worn it to death during the pretty spring season of sheer and pastels, but this year alongside the PVC, leather and winter woollens which will ultimately dominate our AW wardrobes, there will be flashes of pink.

Naughty will meet nice as sweet and dolly pinks are sure to be paired with leather jeggings and boots once autumn is upon us, or perhaps you will just embrace this trend in its entirely and think pink skirts, tights, jumpers and tops?

Topshop have totally nailed this style by cleverly incorporating it in their ladylike drops which have just hit the rails. Checked kilts, pastel blouses, futuristic sandles, fluffy jumpers and my favourite, but not everyone’s cup of tea, a vinyl pink pencil skirt.

Granted, it would probably take someone with a model figure to pull it off, but I’m still sorely tempted despite my friend’s desperately trying to talk me out of it!

So I’ll leave it to you dear reader, here are my top high street pink purchases you just can’t live without this autumn...
