Pseudo selectors after a class selector?

Question

I've got a class

    .text2{
    font-size: 1.2em;
    color: #473f37;
    padding-bottom: 0.3em;
    }

I want text of links to appear white within this class, how do I do it?

<div class="text2">
  <a href="notice">Notices</a>
</div>

I tried the below and it not working

.text2 a:link{
    color: white;
}

.text2 a { color: #ffffff; }
