The easiest way to avoid the whole toy doll comparison of looking like a Barbie if you wear pink as an adult is to limit the amount of pink in your outfit. Choose a pink skirt or jacket instead of a floor-length, ruffle-laden ensemble, and your pink will look tasteful instead of tacky. If you do find an all-pink dress that you just can’t live without, tone it down a bit with an edgier piece on top—a cute cropped moto jacket will do the trick.
Another way to avoid a sickeningly sweet overdose of pink is to choose an item that has a pattern on top of the pink. That’ll help to break up the color and gives the item a bit more of a modern feel.
