Losing my pinkness

“Pink girl.”

That’s what they used to call me because I loved all things pink.

I loved pink so much that I would buy all my stuff in pink: clothes, shoes, bags, notebooks, pens, pouches and anything else you can think of.

I used to love dressing in pink too. My travel get-up would look something like this: baby pink cap, fuschia pink Juicy sweats, hot pink platform Havianas and light pink Delsey bag. (Oh, and my underwear is all pink too.) I guess I tend to go overboard sometimes because someone actually commented I looked like a human candy.

But I really don’t mind because wearing pink makes me feel good. There’s something about that color that lifts up my mood.

I don’t know if it’s because of age or my color choices have evolved, but lately I’ve been using and wearing less pink stuff.

If you look inside my cabinet, you’ll now see mostly blacks, whites and browns. Even my shoe rack is filled with these basic colors. My sudden color shift was so noticeable that someone even asked me, “Don’t you like pink anymore?”

Actually, my pink clothes are buried at the back of my closet because all of them no longer fit. I guess I gravitated toward more blacks and whites because I was trying to look slimmer.

But I have to admit wearing black, white or brown clothes don’t affect my mood as much as my pink clothes do.

I’m thinking I should go back to wearing more pink especially now that I’m more prone to the blues. (The emotional pregnancy hormones are attacking again.)

So what if I look like a human candy, pink makes me happy.

What is your happy color?
