Sweet, feminine, soft, girly, youthful…that’s what the colour pink brings to my mind. Funnily, of all the colours in the world, this one hue has not received enough spotlight though it has played a major role in a woman’s life.
Think about it, from the moment we start recognizing colours as a toddler, we’re surrounded by pink – Barbie’s pink dress, pink ribbons, pink dresses, pink balloons, pink icing on our pink themed birthday party cake….Pink!!
And pink doesn’t stop at childhood, as adults, this colour is still bigger than ever. Remember how many times we have melted just eyeing that sweet blush pink slip with the softest lace or the pastel pink pair of suede flats with the tiny satin ribbon in the front? Not forgetting the simplest yet the most romantic candy in the world – cotton candy. Its floaty, light-as-a-cloud pink sugary wisp has become the star of many a romance movie scenes. Remember receiving a dozen blush pink roses from your Valentine? It sent the butterflies a flutter in your stomach didn't it?

See what I mean.
Spring/Summer is the time of year when designers absolutely flirt with pink and they know very well how it will put a spell on us. Micheal Kors painted his chronograph in bright pink for the outdoors so you can be rough and tough in the middle of nowhere or on a tennis court yet maintain your feminity.

John Galliano for Christian Dior spun a few sheer pink dresses in his collection. This one is my favourite. Short and sassy, this dress is just perfect for a casual cocktail.
Burberry Prorsum had swaths of fabric knotted and intertwined on all their pieces in their collection. This piece is so sweet you’d want to take a bite of it! A great outfit to wear to the office. Yes, you heard me, to…the…off...ice! That’s the thing, why should work-wear be so boring? Well, that subject calls for another post on my blog.
Moschino Cheap and Chic sprinkled blush pink on their pieces. This one is simply flirtatious especially when you’re out partying with friends. Flawless legs required.
So, can you strike this colour off just because you’ve grown up? Nah…not in a million years. Truth be told, at this age (no, I’m not giving away my age), I still have a soft spot for pink and I think its going to be that way for a long time to come.
