Greetings, Selective Potential-ites! Since our dearest Tieka is laid up for a bit healing from her wisdom teeth, I, Elizabeth from Delightfully Tacky, will be your Selective Potential ambassador for the day! I feel like me posting today is kind of serendipitous, seeing as Tieka was wearing my ModCloth Delightfully Tacky dress in the last post. In reciprocity, I shall post an outfit where I'm wearing one of Tieka's lovely skirts! I was thrilled when she put this skirt up for swap with the Delightful Dozen, it's so darling. I pretty much never wear pink, and as a kid and teenager I basically avoided it like the black plague, but I figured, why not. You can see how Mel and Tieka both styled this skirt over at the Delightful Dozen facebook page...

ring/forever 21 :: necklace/shop in kihei
An all pink outfit is definitely the perfect excuse to wear pink socks with hearts on them too... For some reason I feel like pink is Tieka's color. She just looks so cute in pink! I don't believe I'm sweet enough to be convincing in pink, but I'll visit from time to time. I think it works better with my red hair though. My mom has this color naturally (for those of you who don't know, my real color is near-black dark brown) and she always pulled off pastels so well. Dark hair is just so stark that I think it washes out a lot of pastel colors, so it's been kind of fun wearing colors I normally wouldn't.
Well, I'm out! Wish Tieka a quick recovery! Hopefully by now she'll be feeling a little less under the weather. Oh, and I've got another Delightful Dozen outfit on my blog today, so check it out! Another dress from Lulu Letty!

Teehee, when Tieka said she had two 'delightful' bloggers filling in for her I wonder if that meant you...
Such a gorgeous outfit on you! I never used to be much of a pink person but lately I have been buying quite a few pink items. Someone even called a peachy pink my 'signature colour' today, haha!

You look cute as a button in pink Elizabeth. Very convincing, though you are right about pink being Tieka's color! :)
You look adorable! Two more hours to go and then I visit your blog. :)
Loads of love!!
Dear Tieka,
Hope your boo-boo gets better. Take care dear girl.
Love,
Deepti
Your hair is enviably beautiful btw! Pink is a tricky one... it is unfortunate that it has many associations that make us think that it is girly and weak... but, baby boys prior to the last 100 years used to be dressed in pink and red ('strong' colours) and girls in blue and green ('weak' colours) maybe it is a sign now of strong femininity?
PS. I spell 'colour' weird because I am British xxxxxxxx
i love that she is doing this for uuuuu. SO FREAKIN CUTE!! Feel better Teek!!!! Just eat lots of milkshakes and ull instantly feel better. BETTER yet, FRostys from mceeeeddees!

Babe!
This is a really lovely pink to put with your red hair. It really works.
Tieka, feel better soon girl! It took me quite a while to heal after I had my wisdom teeth out. Don't forget to sleep with your head propped as far up as possible. It really helps cut down on the swelling. And NO STRAWS.
OMG look at her hair!! WOW! Hi how can I get mine to be that voluminous?
KeepItFvncy,
M.E.
awww! super innocent outfit, but your darker hair gives it an edge. cute!
Haha, I was so confused when I came by your page and saw Elizabeth from Delightfully Tacky! What a pleasant surprise. Elizabeth, I hadn't noticed that you didn't wear pink until you pointed it out... I think the color looks really good on you!
Ps- Teika I hope you feel better after your surgery!
You should definetely wear pink, it looks amazing with your hair color!
Feel better soon Tieka!

pink can work well on some persons, i'm not much of a pink person either, but sometimes i want to use it!
That colour does really work on you. I can't wear any pastel as it drains me, but I'll often wear hot pink - you don't have to be sweet to wear that either ;)
aahhh this is lovely, dear!!! the monochromatic pink is just darling! :D

The pink goes so great with your red hair, Elizabeth! The outfit looks so girly and fresh. Especially cute with the blouse tied at the waist :)
I have dark hair too and yes, sometimes it does not have the same effect on pastel colors as say... blonde hair would. Oh well!

Aw, this made me smile. Im glad that you were able to fill in for Tieka while she rests up. you look so gorgeous in all this pink! I never wear pink, but after seeing these photos I really want to jump into something of a dusty pink sort :) Your hair is so gorgeous! eeep.
And a message for lovely Tieka : hope you're feeling better! x
The only word I can think of to describe this is "precious"...guess that's how my mind works. seriously though, all the pastels and that little bow ring are just lovely.
Gorgeous outfit and pink definitely compliments your style. The accessories add the perfect touch to complete the outfit. Thanks for sharing.
