Rose to the Occasion

by Ann Whitbeck on April 12, 2012

I have a little secret to share with you-I have been cheating on my gold accessories.  And the way things are looking, I may never go back. Rose gold has me whipped…and this is coming from a girl who used to never feel dressed without her over-sized gold watch.

Well, times have changed. Spring has sprung and along with it comes softer, pastel pieces that are perfectly complimented by a little rose tint. Rose gold accessories give any outfit the same luxe feel of gold, but with a softer, more ladylike touch. Hopefully this trend stays around long enough for me to save up for this Michael Kors Watch ($250). But until then, this one from ASOS will have the same impact without the cost.  It’s only $40!

Accessories are your chance to put a finishing touch and unique edge to any outfit. That’s why I love adding this belt ($10!!) to a basic look. You could even add rose gold ballet flats to any colored sun-dress or a pair of white jeans!

Even Victoria Beckham is getting in on this rose-gold rush…she had Brian Atwood create custom rose gold Maniac pumps for her models (and her) to wear at her fashion show!

And for those of you especially crazy about rose gold, you can even try some subtle highlights–in your HAIR! Rose gold was seen on the Spring runways not only on accessories, but yes, in models’ hair! I am seriously considering trying this look out, but with some semi-permanent color…what do you think? Will you be giving up your yellow gold for rose gold?

I LOVE the cheaper version of the watch, but it says it’s not listed as $40 anywhere, boo!

First of all I want to say how much I enjoy your blog. I hate when blogs say that they are “cheap” or “frugal” and then they have a $200 pair of shoes that I know I cannot afford. Your suggestions are actually affordable and I really appreciate that.

With that being said, I have one suggestion. Maybe instead of putting so many links into the articles, you could put pictures along with the links. It can get a little monotonous to have to keep clicking on the links and then going back to read the rest of the article. I think it would really help your blog and make it even that much better.

Keep up the great work!

HI
Yes I am so loving the rose gold!! Though I do have a question. When wearing a rose gold watch what color of accessories should one wear? Can rose gold mix with yellow gold?
Thank you
Gina
