Pink dress at work?

I've been searching for a while now for the perfect pink office dress because:
a) I adore pink
b) I don't have a pink office dress yet
c) I don't work in a stiffy corporate environment

So far, no luck with one at an accessible price, but here are the ways I am thinking of wearing a pink dress at work:

Bright pink

As bright yellow, bright pink works well in my books with black footwear. The biggest mistake would be pairing a bright pink dress with pink accessories. Instead try black ballerinas or black gladiators with just a hint of high heels.

Printed pink

I would love to have a printed pink dress to wear day time. I would wear it with white or cream sandals, and add some cute hair accessories.

Pale pink

Pale pink is such a delicate color, and for me it is the only pink that I can match with pink accessories. Don't try to over do it though, choose either pink shoes or bag, in the same shade as the dress, and for the other go with something neutral as cream or nude.
