Monday.  Getting ready for “TRENDS with FRIENDS” day!  Last minute details. …If you haven’t registered you still can.    I think I’m going to wear something simple today. 

When you think about what goes with PINK, everything goes with PINK.  Black goes with pink, it softens it.  Brown is yummy with pink, navy goes with pink, and gray is classic with pink. 

I am LOVING this tote made especially for AVON. My friend and fellow FB’er sent it to me.  Thanks Susan!  You are keeping me in the pink!

We had a cold front move in last night so I think I might have to add a sweater into the mix here.  Perhaps a long sleeve “boyfriend” gray sweater or navy blue?  It is the season for layering!  This is a “tissue” weight cap sleeve t-shirt that needs some layering to keep me insulated today.

 Did you know that all color has meaning both positive and negative?  The locker room of the opposing team at the University of Iowa was once painted PINK. 

Pink can give a feeling of fragility.  Although the color is derived from the primary color red, it does not evoke the same emotion.  Pink (light pink) can mean romantic but it can also give the feeling of fragilility, a delicate tenderness.  RED evokes enormous amounts of energy, signifies DANGER and is recognized as “power”.  Consider what color a “power tie” is!

Today I am feeling “energetic”.   It’s Sunday and the First Sunday of the Month, so I’m dressing UP today…. This is kind of fuzzy, but the skirt is a houndstooth pattern and the jacket is a vibrant pink (obviously) heavy silk and linen-almost too “springy” to wear now, but it’s a great transition piece.

Don’t forget to join us Tuesday night at “Trends with Friends” at the Atlanta Art Institute.

Still looking for some PINK suede Pumps.  Found these last night.  Do you think these are “pink” enough???    These are from Marmi and are their VanEli Brand shoes. I kind of like??

Today is Saturday.    For alot of people they are starting their 2-day walk called It’s The Journey.    Cool thing about this group is that 100% of money raised in your community stays in your community.  If you are walking I wish you happy feet and good weather!

I don’t have to “think” to hard about what I’m wearing today!  Since I am not working, I’m going casual today.  I found this really cute plaid shirt at American Eagle.   

Before I get dressed for the day though I’m going for a nice long walk-I dont’ have any PINK exercise wear.  I did find a Nike Hat with a PINK Swoosh that my older son had given me some time ago.  Thanks Patrick! 

It is amazing what you find in your “stuff” that can work.

What I did have to do is consider the bottom half.  Since this is a longer shirt, I needed a pair of slacks/jeans that were a bit more tapered to give some interest to the look.  I don’t think I’m going with any leggings or skinny jeans although they would work as well. I can also see some black boots with jeans tucked in.

So I just threw my jeans on and relaxed in this comfy shirt.  To dress it up a bit for weekday wear, I’m going to wear my black slim leg slacks with a pump or heeled loafer.  No need for jewelry.  Are you feeling it?

Today, I have a closet audit.  So, I don’t really have to “dress up”.  Besides it’s TGIF.  I think I’ll wear something “soft” today.  Yesterday I wore BRIGHT PINK  horizontal stripes!  Today I think I’ll go with soft, vertical stripes with my jeans-well, maybe not my jeans, but some navy slacks.  Don’t want to be too casual.

Honestly, I’m glad that I did “dream” this up any earlier than last weekend.  I’m getting a bit OCD about PINK.  I hope I am this excited about PINK when on November 1st.   I found this great little crochetd sweater at Macy’s too.  They were/are having the biggest sale ever…Who would have known.

 One thing is for sure, it is a quick way to build “depth” in your closet.  Oh, I was trying to find some “bargains” for my “Trends with Friends” event next Tuesday (Oct.6th-still time to register) and remembering PINK and I saw this lovely bracelet at Coldwater Creek.   Cool thing is you get 2.  One for you and one to share!    I shared this on with Paulette Bethel yesterday when we went to lunch. 

Catch up with me on FaceBook to see how I put it together.  We’ll see what my “Autumn” client has in her closet that is PINK!

 Do you Know about the Gal to Gal Foundation?  Check it out it is pretty cool!
