Admittedly I wasn’t initially a huge fan of the 2016 Pantone colors of the year: rose quartz and serenity. Baby pink and baby blue? Look, I love a good pale pink manicure and I do own a pair of sky blue shoes, but I’m also not your typical pastel-loving girl. Also, these colors kinda look a baby gender reveal party– I mean, right?
All that being said, I found these blush sneakers at H&M and ate all my words. One of the colors of year and on-trend with the sneaker resurgence? I’m game. (Athleisure is alive and well, guys.) Grabbed a slouchy neutral sweater and skinny jeans (winter uniform, Round 50) and tossed a fleece jacket over the top, as KC has decided to freeze over again. That groundhog didn’t see his shadow, right? Spring is on the way and cannot get here soon enough for my taste.
Shop the look:
In general, pink isn’t usually my jam. But in cool sneaker form + a muted-almost-nude version, I am a convert.

Cute sneakers! I bet you get tons of wear out of them now and into the spring. I love your thoughts on the Pantone colors, so funny!

The jacket is really warm- and thank goodness! 🙂
Those are so cute!! I love wearing sneakers in the spring and fall – just a nice change! xo, Biana –BlovedBoston
And wayyyyy cozier than a pair of pumps, right? Haha.
Yeah, those shoes are pretty awesome (and you’re so right about the colours being reminiscent of a gender reveal party).

Gender reveal, right?! Haha.

I really love those sneakers, I agree the colors can be a bit “baby reveal like” but I think they also have huge potential if worn the right way, these sneakers are definitely the right way!

I agree- you have to find the right version of the colors of the year that work with your style, that’s why these sneakers were perfect for me. 🙂 Thanks for swinging by, Laura!
I’m with you, I’m not usually much of a pastel color fan but I can get on board with rose gold! Super cute look and loving those sneakers! <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes
Pastels just aren’t really my thing- but I can handle ’em in sneaker form! 🙂
Really cute look. That jacket is looks like a really nice piece from Forever21. I’m impressed! How does it look in person? From the screen it reads pretty lux. It looks like it might provide some warmth with the faux shearling lining. (always helpful).
As for the rose quartz tone, I think I’m on the same page as you. I’m not sure how I feel about it at this point. I kind of look at it as another neutral, just with a hint of rose/pink.
Regardless, you look adorable. The sneakers have clean lines and have a sporty but stylish look. Great find.

It’s great quality- especially for F21. I was very impressed- and PLUS it’s super warm! 🙂
Fun blush and black mixing, fingers crossed for spring weather to hurry and get here.

I used to hate pink but I have to admit, I love pastel pink now and pastel blue (well, blue in any shade haha). So I was actually excited for the color of the year 🙂 But those sneakers are AMAZING! Seriously awesome find lady! Also, your lawn looks like ours – we just got a thick dusting of white overnight. Spring will be here soon, I hope!

I like lighter-almost-nude versions of pale pink, I suppose- these sneakers were a perfect way to work rose quartz while still feeling like me. 🙂
Ha! Total gender reveal party!!

Loving those kicks! I almost bought a similar pair at Aldo (they were more of an Oxford than sneaker), but they were sold out of my size. 🙁 You are looking so cool!
P.S. When are we going to hang out again?!
