Pink Wishes and Dreams

I don't really like most pastel colors. I find that they fade into the crowd, and they look far too reminiscent of the sickly Easter-wear of my childhood. But lately, I have developed an attraction to dusty, ballerina pinks. I haven't the foggiest notion as to why, seeing as I don't dance and I've never been particularly fond of pink before. Perhaps it's that dreamy Piscean nature that I can't seem to avoid, no matter how much I insist to myself that I am a perfectly articulate and analytical girl who does not buy into astrology. Well, for whatever reason, I think these gentle, ethereal shades of pink look so very feminine and touchable. I don't think I even own anything in light pink, but it looks as if I won't be able to avoid this for much longer.





Is that enough saccharine for one day?

i agree, i own nothing pink and i feel bizarre wearing pink...i do have a sort of salmon coloured shirt, but it has a skull on it so i feel that cancels any pink-ness out

Oooo I really like the dresses, I nevery thought of ballet slipper pink as more than a nail polish shade...

valentino basically perfected the color pink and the ballerina style in his spring collection.
