I’m taking a quick break from posting Top 10 remix outfits today. I DIDN’T CHEAT on the challenge; this outfit is from last month. I promise!

I had noticed that I pinned several blush and gray outfits from other blogs on Pinterest recently, and it was about time I tried it myself. So I did. Voila! There’s something I really like about these two shades together…maybe it’s the gloomier nature of gray juxtaposed with the girly-ness of blush. Yeah, I just said “juxtaposed.” I’m articulate like that.

Feel like adding more of these lovely colors to your wardrobe? The spring Shopbop* Friends & Family sale is officially on, and you can get 25% off your purchase with the code SPRING25. (Don’t worry, the sale applies to ALL colors.) Here are a few of my favorites, all reasonably priced even before the discount:

Destination Spring Fashion at Macy’s (with ME!)

I am a member of the Everywhere Society, which has provided me with compensation for this post. However, all thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.

Macy's Destination Spring Fashion, Macy's Castleton fashion show, Indianapolis fashion event

I’m equal parts excited and embarrassed to announce that this Saturday, I’ll be stepping out from behind my laptop to host a fashion show at my local Macy’s store! The theme is “Destination Spring Fashion,” so all the looks will be inspired by vacation spots around the globe. I have the challenging task of talking about clothes while trying not to sound awkward. But your job is easy: just show up, do some shopping, enjoy a fashion show, a DJ, and maybe a free mini-makeover. Plus, you can apparently enter to win a consultation with a style expert. As far as I know, that won’t be me, but hopefully it’s someone even better.

If you’re in the central Indiana area and you want to come see if I can pull this off, head to the Impulse department in Macy’s at Castleton Square Mall in Indianapolis at 2:00pm Saturday, April 11. If you feel like doing some shopping while you’re there, you should know that any Women’s fashion purchase of $75 or more gets you a personalized Macy’s garment bag (while supplies last).

Not in Indy? No problemo, amigo. There are Destination Spring Fashion shows all over. On the same day and time, there are shows at Macy’s Roosevelt Field (Garden City, NY), Macy’s Pleasanton (Pleasanton, CA), and Macy’s Friendly Center (Greensboro, NC), if you happen to be in any of those areas. Find allllll the info and locations here.

Hope to see you there!
