I think the pink is perfect. You could always do some with pink and some with purple for those who want to be more authentic. I don't see how the pink takes away from being able to wear them on the street. Then again, I wear a pair of fetching I made that are all in Aubergine except the right one ends in a sort of dark turquoise because I ran out of Aubergine.

The cuffs are kinda cute, I've seen various patterns around for similar though and I just wouldn't wear them personally. That's mainly because I hardly wear jackets which they would look good with and it's not really me.
