Wear Something Pink Day

In honour of my niece, Rosie Cheeks, who has created an ‘Other – Festival’ event on Facebook titled ‘Wear Something Pink Day’ because she, er… just likes pink, I have donned a very fluffy wool scarf that looks like fairy floss, and some (cotton) candy pink lippie.

However, it cannot be said that I truly need the excuse, as I have discovered over the years – I’m sure I must have mentioned it before – that quite an unhealthy quantity of pink garments have somehow snuck into my wardrobe. These include, but are not limited to: dresses, blouses, jumpers, scarves, shoes, hats (four, two winter, two summer), a silk raincoat, a velvet coat with attached scarf… oh, and one pair of velvet jeans that have since sadly been donated to charity.

Dear me. That is quite a list. And I probably could go on if I got up from my desk and went to my closet to see what else is buried there.

I am quite embarrassed.

I am in fact WORSE than Rosie Cheeks. And to exacerbate my mortification, I am now going to remind you of a few of them. Please scroll down.

But before you do, go put on something pink. It’s Wear Something Pink Day, for heaven’s sake.

The waterproofed silk raincoat… and look ma, pink suede shoes!I need say no more. Except: pink tulle and parachute silk.The infamous pink velvet jeans, and how I love that ombré wool jumper! I feel happy just wearing it. Oh, and it's warm (of secondary importance).Yes indeed, I first wore that dress when I was a teen. It is actually coral pink with white polkadots, as if a balloon skirt wasn't enough on its own.
