If you want to take things slow, start by dipping a single toe (nail) in the red and pink water. Literally, paint your toenails red and your fingernails pink.

The next level up is to wear a pink lip with a red dress, or a red lip with a pink dress.

Then, if you're cool with it, comes chucking on a pair of red sunnies or adding a pink bag.

What follows is a series of lovely red and pink items to mix and match for the rest of eternity.

Have a play with what colour tones you like together - generally speaking brights go with brights and pastels with muted shades. That said, baby pink and bright red go well together too.
