Perfectly Pink

 I can't get enough of this pink sweater from Maurices.  Bought just over a month ago and it's already a frequent flyer, I've worn it three times I think.  I have had a lot of fun finding different ways to style it.  I took a leap of faith today - I don't usually mix browns and blacks, but I decided today is the day!  While it's not a huge mix, the little buckles on the sweater are brown and my pants are black and pink striped.  Gasp!  Hey, it's baby steps sometimes right?

I really tried to make the pink the main highlight of this outfit.  Right down to my pink socks.  In fact, I took the picture below here just so you could see my pink socks.

When I was young, my parents remodeled our house and put a second story on where they put nicer bedrooms for us.  And when the remodeling was complete, they let me choose how I wanted to decorate my room.  I was around 9 years old or so.  And I chose pink.  Oh did I ever choose pink.  I was such a girly girl back then.  By the time I was into my teens I regretted that decision for a bit and ended up resisting pink for a very long time in my adulthood, but I'm back to a place where I can embrace it again.

My house has a very old fashioned pink tiled bathroom.  Have you ever seen the website "Save the Pink Bathrooms"?  My bathroom should be on that site.  The Pants Monkey does not like our pink bathroom that much, and at first I didn't either, but I'm growing to love it as I am developing a love for all things vintage - my bathroom is retro and awesome!  Pink is good!
