I like pink. Or, maybe you'd call it mauve. But I think one does need to be a little cautious with it. It can look childish if it's done in an over-simplistic way with cheap pieces.
I like to use soft pink as a "faux neutral" and pair it was any other sort of color (the more unexpected the better, in my book). For instance, pink and neon yellow. Or, pink and red. Here the pairings are not so unexpected and, aside from the turquoise print of the skirt and more tonal.
In the top outfit, I over-estimated our weather. My iphone had a little sun and a high in the upper 50's, but the reality was that it was cloudy all day and ended in rain.
In the below outfit I was not happy with the shoe-hosiery pairing. I am giving away these shoes. I think they are a little too whimsical for my taste. I should have worn my sling-back pumps, however against my better judgement I decided on these flats (I wore the pumps just last week).

That mauve like scarf top is gorgeous and every time you wear those silver shoes I feel like I need them.
Can your wear that mauve top as a dress? It might be too short but it will be very sexy:)

Loooove these outfits! They have a bohemian vibe that's so hard to do, but you've pulled it off perfectly.
I'm careful with pink too. I stick to dark and hot pink shades because they work for my coloring. I don't want to look ridiculous with the light pinks. But I do have a light pink top I love, and I try to combine it with a sophisticated neutrals so the final effect isn't mutton-dressed-as-lamb.
