FASHION FRIDAY: POWER TO THE PINK!!

I don’t wear pink to make the boys wink. I wear it to feel fabulous darling! Funny enough, every time I do wear pink, they blink or was that a wink?? LOL! It’s an old saying and who am I to disagree? I wear pink to brighten up my day. I never used to be a ‘pink girl’ until I wore it once and everybody commented on how much it suited me. Pink calms and reassures our emotional energies, alleviating feelings of anger or aggression. Wearing too much pink can indicate an individual who needs a lot of emotional support.

Psychologists say if pink is your favourite colour — and it is for many! — it means you are loving, kind, generous and sensitive to the needs of others. You are friendly and approachable with a warmth and softness others are drawn to. That may explain why I love pink shirts on men!! You are the nurturers of the world. You love to give nurturing and to receive nurturing in return. I must admit that does ring true for me. But then again, I could attribute that to my Moon in Cancer too. When speaking in public, they say pink is a colour you should wear as it endears your audience to you.

Pink is such a warm, cozy and comforting colour. Lovers of pink tend to be optimistic and have a positive outlook on life. It is the colour of Hope. They also look younger than their years. Could it be that pink glow from a scarf or sweater is radiating to your cheeks? Maybe! If I had to choose one word to describe it, it would be ‘yummy’. There are so many varieties to choose from — hot pink, which I associate with Marilyn Monroe and her song ‘Diamonds are a girl’s best friend’. Then there is baby pink which looks divine in cashmere, neon pink, candy pink, blush pink, salmon pink, rose pink, fuchsia and orchid pink — the list of pink possibilities is endless. Whatever pink you choose, enjoy this warm wonderful colour. Let it embrace, kiss and hug you from head to toe!
