I know we have two very rosy recommendations right now. Thursday and Fridaybut: Pantone just announced The color of the year for 2023 will be magenta. Now is the time to grab some of the dark pink pieces still on sale from last season.

in the picture CeCe top we’ve featured a bunch before because it’s a great foundation for both work and play; Some colors, including this one, are as low as $48.

(There are lots of lucky sizes for a few other pieces, all on sale – more CeCe tops and dresses, Sam Edelman coats, Dress the Population dresses and some cute Nic & Zoe ornaments.) If you’re looking for lipstick, I just bought it this is NYX it really doesn’t budge and is both bold and flattering (“Another Level”) – this is Glossy lipstick “Jam” is also a very magenta-y but much more buildable shade for me.

Readers, are you generally trying to get the “color of the year” things to make your wardrobe feel more on-trend – or can’t you just avoid the color in stores because so many brands use it? as an accent (Lavender was the Color of the Year last year.) I’ve always loved pairing magenta with navy blue and gray with accents like orange, red, or pastel blue — what are your favorite ways to wear magenta?
