On Wednesdays We Wear: Pink

LOVE may be in the air, but PINK is just plain IN.

"Pretty in Pink"

Here's a little background on me:

For those of you who don't know me outside of this blog, I have a very pale complexion with pink undertones. I used to be called "cherry cheeks" in school and I hated it. So as a growing teenager I overcompensated by covering up every inch of redness on my face with makeup and wouldn't be caught DEAD in any shade of pink on my body. I devoted so much of my time to my strong dislike of the color pink and any signs of it in my life. I would even try my hardest to never buy pink school supplies or household items. To put is short, I was a bit extreme.

Then I grew up. 

I entered college and realized that pink was not a color to be afraid of. Wearing the color pink does not automatically mean I talk with a valley-girl accent, enjoy Chihuahuas, and fluffy things. Instead, wearing pink means I am confident with who I am. Being able to wear pink was a struggle for me, but after learning to cope with my personal issues with the color, I learned to accept and even love it. My favorite colors will remain blue and black, but pink accents are not always a thing to fear.

I hope that wearing the color pink can be seen as a sign of confidence and empowerment for all those who don the beautiful hue.

This drawing I just found too amazing. The pops of pink and the chetah print coat are brilliant.
LOVE.

BONUS

I was looking through some of my favorite pink inspired looks and found myself on a post about how to create your own natural powdered blush. Even though I never wear blush because my cheeks are naturally rosy, this is a brilliant idea and I might just try it.
