Pink
I don't admit to be a fashion guru (the word "fashion" and I don't even belong in the same sentence) but while shopping on Saturday, it was painfully obvious that pink is the HOT color this season. Yesterday's paper confirmed it in their Life section with the following statement: "if you are afraid of pink, you should hibernate this season." Where's my pillow?
According to the newspaper, pink should be paired with black or worse brown or worst lime green. *cringes* The article cheerfully talks about the vibrant hues of flower prints and polka dots that will be all the rage this spring. *gags*
I do really want to be fashionable but pink and lime green with my pale Irish complexion? Some one might as well get the embalming fluid ready now. It's pretty obvious to anyone that I'm a "winter", I look best in dark colors, especially navy and burgundy. With a little makeup, black and white don't wash me out too much. Certain reds are also okay, but nothing light like pink!
I know, I know, I should have seen this coming. Cause spring is always about pastels. Which is okay because I can usually find a pastel blue that will work until the pastel spring insanity is over and I can wear red, navy, and black again during the summer. Periwinkle is usually a decent choice. But is anyone selling anything in periwinkle this season? Nope! It's like they completely forgot blue exists on the color wheel. Everything is pink, lime green, bright yellow, or the worst color ever on me, orange. Hibernating is starting to sound like a really good idea. Or adopting the Goth look for a few months. I think I have some black nail polish around here somewhere.
So I apologize in advance for not being fashionable this spring. I tried, I really did but no one was willing to meet me halfway with a decent pastel blue. I think I'd rather look a little out of season in burgundy than a washed out ghost in lime green. If it helps any, I promise to dress the kids in all the bright colorful fashions. Cause at 5 years old and running at the speed of light, any color looks good. hehe
