Think Pink!


This is an old image from my files, it references "Mrs. Quinn."

I'm not that much of a girly girl. I don't really like to shop. Not really into maintenance, except for my hair. The annual cost of it's upkeep would feed a small third-world nation, I'm ashamed to say. I'm not even one of those shoe people.

So, it's no surprise, pink is just not my thing. There is none of it in my house. I rarely wear it. Did I mention I have three boys?

It's almost always a bit of a surprise, like you were expecting red and pink showed up instead.

David Hicks from Influential Interiors, Suzanne Trocme

And while I may not wear it, pink encompasses all the things that women are. Soft and strong. Bold and bright. Classic and surprising.
