5 Ways To Wear Pink When You Love Black

Pink is a major fall trend this year as opposed to your typical darker colors. From barely there pinks to bright bold hues, we're seeing them all over the runways. Most of us love breaking out the head-to-toe black, but with pink topping the charts for trends, we can afford to switch it up a little bit. It's not horrible to change up your outfits and add a pop of pink sometimes! You just have to do so the right way so you can still look chic, feel good, and keep your personal style in check.

Need some inspiration? Here are five different ways you can rock this seemingly girly color and make it more edgy. This listicle may just convert you to loving pink that much more!

1. Layer it with a leather jacket.

Adding a leather jacket to any outfit makes it instantly more edgy. Pairing a black leather jacket over a soft pink hue surely toughens it up and contrasts the two styles nicely. Add metallic accessories for chic embellishment. Take your look from day to night by wearing a pencil skirt for work and changing into a pair of dark wash jeans for the evening.

2. Try dusty pink hues.

Dusty pink is very popular wherever you go. Plus, it's so much easier to wear in an outfit when bright pink isn't your cup of tea. Dusty pink jeans are similar enough to a neutral that you can pair them with many outfits. This grey slouchy shirt and over-sized clutch allow the pink to pop more while the nude shoes offset the jeans. Try dusty pink blouses and jackets as well to pair with outfits like a neutral jacket.

3. Pair it with an all black outfit.

There's nothing edgier than a great head to black outfit, but this time try switching it up! This light pink and flowing blouse really stands out compared to the rest of the black in the ensemble. Typically a blouse like this would be very feminine and frilly, but if you want to change it up this is the way to do it!

4. Incorporate it into your makeup.

A nude pink lip is super popular versus the typical nude lips you've been seeing. This is a great natural makeup look, super easy to do and can be paired with all your looks. This is also an easy way to incorporate some pink into your everyday look without trying too hard.

5. Rock it with your shoes.

Can we talk about how gorgeous and comfortable lace up flats are to wear? Make the most out of your shoes and go for a light or dusty pink pair of lace up flats. This way, you can rock them with your work and weekend wear. Plus, they can go from day to night (one less thing you need to change when you're in a rush).

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
