I recently ran into the absolute most lovely pink coat ever made, by designer Ted Baker. I then decided to make the color pink my winter focus “pop” color! Fashion tells us we have to have a velvet berry lip this winter. A dark lip does not look great on everyone. It can be harsh on some. Fabulous on others. If my lips are too dark, I look like a drag queen. (Even more than I usually do.)
I decided to make Pink Bon Bon my winter pink lip color and Orly nail polish in Pink Neon – which matched perfectly, the main nail color. With a pink winter accessory here or there, I’m feeling I should blend easily into winter and not look summer-ish.
Pink rocks. Don’t get me wrong, if I were a fabulous raven haired Latina with a golden tan, I would love to get serious about reds. However, with my coloring, I feel like too much of a cartoon in red. It’s so bold with my skin and hair. One day, when I am a brunette, I will embrace reds more often. Fashion is being creative, not necessarily following every one else. Being a successful fashion rebel would require looking good in the process of said rebellion. Winter pink fashion is fun!
I’m off today to find some pink tint aviators and a pink winter accessory here or there, and march onward into winter with my pinkness in tow.
