This post is brought to you by: the colors red and pink. Sesame Street Style.
I have been seeing this color combination E.V.E.R.Y.W.H.E.R.E. E-V-E-R-Y-W-H-E-R-E. This spring and Fall it was all ovah, and guess what? I have been stalking Style.com for all of the Spring 2012 collections debuted at Fashion Week this week, and it is a HUGE trend again. Allow me to show you!! I first saw it, above, on the red carpet on Emma Stone, for her Friends With Benefits premier. She wore a poufy Giambattista Valli Fall 2011 frock and killed it. #werq.
Then, I got my Marie Claire September Issue in the mail– what do you know– Sarah Jessica Parker in a slinky silk number that I BELIEVE is Prabal Gurung. 
Apparenly SJP is obsessed with both red+pink, and Prabal Gurung {see second pic below}, because inside the pages of the mag, there was this editorial, where she wore Emma’s exact Giambattista Valli dress:
AND THEN, a few weeks later, here she is on the red carpet in Prabal Gurung wool pants and top! {The pants are FUCKING. SICK.}.Her outfit, came STRAIGHT off the Prabal Gurung runway. I would wear those hot pink wool pants with those exact white pointy toed pumps and a white bodysuit on top.
Then there’s also THIS Prabal Gurung pink and red dress, which Zoe Saldana wore recently:
But everything above was from the Fall RTW collections that were debuted last spring; so, being, that it’s Fashion Week, I wanted to see if the trend would be continued in the RTW collections for NEXT Spring. And what do you know- it was fucking EVERYWHERE!
Vivienne Tam, S/S 2012
Ruffian S/S 2012. At Ruffian it ACTUALLY was everywhere. Like half the collection. 
Pink and red was also employed through make-up and nails at:
Jason Wu S/S 2012
Erin Fetherston S/S 2012 {What an insanely awesomely ’60′s Edie Sedgewick/Twiggy/Mia-Farrow-in-Rosemary’s-Baby- inspired butterfly shift frock. Loved the EF runway look.}
Have you ever seen so much red and pink in your life? Do you like the look? I PERSONALLY like pink and orange better. As evidenced here.
My favorite pink/red piece of the ones shown is the diagonal slash Ruffian bathing suit. Despite being really girly in that I love all things fashion, beatuy, and make-up, get really really excited and squeal when doing so, call my boyfriend ‘baby’, and like traditional feminine gender roles {being scared of spiders, knowing nothing about cars and needing my dad to change my oil for me}, I don’t really like dresses that are all frilly/frocky/poufy/tiered/flirty/feminine/romantic/flowy/soft. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I own a few of them, and I will wear them if I am legitimately getting dressed up for some fun event, and use it as a means to literally wear a costume, like play dress-up and look all girly and confection-esque…
…But the pieces I have like that are either vintage, or really really awesomely constructed and in non-girly colors, like purple and orange. My closet is mostly full of interesting, non-matching, vintage or fun/colorful separates, such as distressed Levi’s cut-off shorts, neon green tube tops, checkered blouses, menswear-inspired oversized oxford shirts with cool details like ropes and toggles, vests, embroidered jackets, and crop-tops with prints; OR, body-conscious yet comfortable, form-fitting, pseduo-slutty, athletic-ish American Apparel-esque BASICS, such as bodysuits (aka onesies, aka unitards), tanks, and tees. I really really like athletic-inspired things. It’s the reason I love my Isabel Marant rugby tee so much
, and why I like American Apparel so much. Their stuff and their ads are like camp counselors from the 1970′s– track shorts, knee-high socks, body-conscious tanks, neon, rugby tee shirts, stripes, high-wasitd denim. Wet Hot American Summer/Dazed and Confused style:
That’s why I like the Ruffian suit so much. You could EASILY see this design on the shelf at American Apparel. That look also extended into the ’80′s and ’90′s a bit too, with Baywatch style and the more athletic builds/style of supermodels like Cindy Crawford, Christie Brinkly, and Christy Turlington. I definitely prefer this to soft, pretty, romantic, girly things. It’s just more my style.
Like, I would wear that suit under/with EVERYTHING. Denim, maxi skirts, palazzo pants. It’s so cute!
Something this flowy/feminine/chiffon-y is sewwwww not my style:
THIS, = MY STYLE:
So Baywatch. OMG and I just realized, like Cindy Crawford’s All-American outfit in that iconic Pepsi commercial!!!!!!!
Bright White Body Suit. High-waisted Denim Shorts. Big Hair. Something Red {Pepsi can, Moschino belt}. Hoops. I think I rocked the Cindy look pretty good. And I didn’t even mean to. Or somewhere in my subconscious, my style was formed by seeing things like this as a kid and being drawn to them. Who ever knows. Nothing is really original.
Anyways I want that Ruffian Suit bad. I would wear it the same way. And maybe even throw in a Pepsi can for good measure.
