the Perfect Pink for a Baby Shower

Is this not the most perfect shade of pink?  I wore this look last weekend to my friend Amy's baby shower - yes, she's having a girl!  I bought this dress last fall before it sold out, and decided the baby shower was the perfect occasion to break it out.   To be honest, I was a bit apprehensive to wear pink to the shower.  I kept thinking: is this cliche?  to matchy-matchy?  taking attention away from the mom-to-be?  But Amy was excited I was wearing pink, and I wasn't the only one who dressed the color.  (Remember this look with pops of blue that I wore to a baby boy baby shower last year.)  

For any event, baby or bridal, I always love to dress up and/or dress the theme (remember the look I wore to Amy's wedding last Spring).  Personally, I'd rather be over-dressed than under-dressed.  I always look to the invitation to give some hints as to what the decor and/or attire might be.  When in doubt, ask.  Either a friend, the host/hostess or (if its NOT a surprise shower) the honoree.  See my bridal shower posts here & here.  

I'm sure this dress will get lots of wear this spring.  Shop my other pink shift dress picks below.
