If you don't feel bold enough to rock a velvet dress, then opt for something small and simple like a velvet choker first! Choose one in a blush pink hue for a cute, dainty accessory.

The Rebecca Bloomwood of Manila. I spend half of my time obsessing about the latest fashion craze, and the other half overthinking and over-analyzing just about anything under the sun. When I’m not busy as a bee playing with fifty shades of pink lippies, you can probably catch me swiping my plastic for yet another pair of shiny, pointed gold flats.
