As long as you have pink in the outfit, the rest is pretty much a free-for-all!

Pink shoes may not already be in your wardrobe—in that case, feel free to pair your outfit with whatever feels best! This trend is what you make of it, so unless you really want to, there is no pressure to buy things, especially if you will splurge on one-time wear.
