I've had better luck in neutrals with bronze/gold and oddly enough bold colors like sunflower yellow. Yellow actually looks pretty good with almost everything, from Navy to green to pink/purple and black.
I actually like patterns as single-season shoes, too. Did you like the Sakura shoe in pink floral? http://www.zappos.com/tsukihoshi-kid...outh-pink-pink
How about the Hana in navy/pink? http://www.zappos.com/tsukihoshi-kid...outh-navy-pink
I got DD a polka dot sandal (light pink with black on white polka dots) for this year's summer shoes (Braqeez). We also have a med pink Umi sandal I bought the end of last summer: http://www.amazon.com/umi-Pommie-Ank...ds=Umi+sandals
and Naturino sandals in hot dark pink (patent leather): http://www.zappos.com/naturino-nat-3...-youth-fuchsia

"You've probably heard the expression 'I believe in God, just not organized religion.' I don't think people would say that if the church truly lived like we are called to live. The expression would change to 'I can't deny what the church does, but I don't believe in their God.' At least then they'd address their rejection of God rather than use the church as a scapegoat."
