The city is awash in pink for Breast Cancer Awareness, and the rosy hue was ubiquitous last Thursday at the Lynn Sage Foundation's "Go Pink" benefit at Allium at the Four Seasons Chicago. There were pink rubber duckies in the fountain, pink deviled eggs on passed trays, and plenty of ladies dressed in—wait for it— pink. Which made it the perfect time to pose our burning question: "What's your favorite 'pink fashion moment' of all time?"
