In honor of October’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I’ve got more pink inspiration coming your way via some of my favorite personal style bloggers.  Pink has always been a go-to staple for a feminine vibe, but there are plenty of ways to transform the girly color into a look that’s unexpected, edgy, and modern.  Rule of thumb: the brighter and more shocking the pink, the better!

As promised, I’m wearing another pink number in honor of October’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  When I first thought about making this into a week-long project, I was worried that I didn’t have enough pink in my wardrobe to make a week’s supply of blog-worthy outfits.

Then I realized that there are plenty of ways to wear pink without looking like a bottle of Pepto Bismol.  By pairing a striped sweater with more earthy tones and leopard pumps, today’s outfit reflects the current change in the seasons and still gets the message across.
