A surprisingly sweet acessory like UES Chuck Buckle Sneakers in pink denim ( $175 at tipsntrends.com) can perk up your casual look. We love these 80's inspired-but-not-tired high tops for a new spin on the retro-sneaker trend.
For the less color-skittish among us a vibrant raspberry sundress, like this Banana Republic faux wrap, can be an elegant twist on the trend when paired with neutral accessories and low-key hair. Not going over-board is the key to looking stylish, not silly, so skip the scrunchies, the bakelite bracelets, and any other over-the-top 80s references when rocking a frock in this hue.
Finally, nobody does bags likes Marc Jacobs, and this Marc by Marc hobo, in a pleasing pink ($502 at zappos.com) is no exception. The price tag may be a little steep, but the relaxed modern shape and well placed pockets makes us feel like this is one 'investment' piece worth considering. ( or at least keep an eye out for at Loehmann's!)

I love the items you found (especially the bag!) but the color, not so much. I thought pink was done already. Are we really still stuck in Barbie phase?
The good thing about the current NEON 80's hues, is that ANYTHING bright goes! (no phase sticking here) For a non pink Marc by Marc, check out the Totally Turnlock Tobo Nag in Sage.
