color crush | a pop of petal pink

Life + Style

September 18, 2026

Pretty in pink, but make it FALL!!! Today’s COLOR CRUSH is all about one of those shades I simply cannot quit no matter the season… all thigs PETAL PINK. It’s soft, feminine and happy, but when mixed with richer autumn tones like chocolate brown, berry, camel and warm neutrals, it gets an instant seasonal refresh and I am here to show you exactly how to perfectly pull it off.

And if you think pink is reserved for spring + summer, think again. From playful plaid and gorgeous paisley to easy knits + statement accessories, I’m showing you a few of my favorite ways to weave this happy hue into your fall lineup. A little sweet, a little sophisticated and a whole lot of FUN… let’s give petal pink its proper moment! XO

Pilcro Rollneck Tank [runs TTS, wearing XXS] The most gorgeous petal pink sleeveless sweater that was made for wearing NOW and layering up for later. This soft staple is just $88 so you’ll want it in all the colors = a cozy, cute option for us southerners who are ready to sport the autumn arrivals but still need to think about warm days ahead. I love the way it looks when paired with the Paige Aneesa Brown Denim [wearing size 24, run TTS]. This color combo is one I will happily wear on repeat all season long = an easy way to take your favorite shade of pink straight into a brand new season.

And you know I couldn’t stop there! The $35 Pink Woven Tote has been a fan favorite and brings in another dose of our color crush, while that brown + ivory scarf ties the entire palette together. Add in a serious stack of colorful bracelets and simple sandals and you’ve got an effortless transitional ensemble that proves pink is a girl for all seasons.

The Indie Blouse | Now THIS is how you make petal pink work for fall! Give me a fabulous paisley print any day of the week, and this pink + golden situation totally understands the assignment. The soft pink backdrop keeps things light and feminine, while those warm caramel, rust and golden tones instantly bring in that autumn goodness I cannot get enough of. And it’s been one of the best selling styles from my fall Avara collection because of how beautiful this blouse is!

Keeping it simple with Classic Wide Leg Denim lets the print have its proper moment, while neutral accessories and stacked bracelets finish everything off. It’s colorful without being too bright, seasonal without screaming FALL and basically the perfect example of how versatile a little petal pink can be.

The Sloane Top | Plaid perfection, but make it PETAL PINK!!! This look is giving me all the transitional fall feels with the prettiest mix of soft pink, warm taupe and classic denim details. I love how this plaid top brings in our color crush without feeling overly sweet, and those feminine details around the neckline add just the right amount of personality with the slight ruffle and oversized Peter Pan collar.

Ready to integrate a POP OF PETAL PINK into your closet or home??
