As if tomorrow being my first day at the new job wasn’t enough, I’ve got to decide what to wear tomorrow, and the morning will come all too quickly. It’s already 11:47 pm, I really should be in bed by now, but dinner-cooking took all day long, what with slow-cooking the pork ribs and making the wontons for the soup and all. Who am I kidding, G did nearly all of the work, I did the cleanup. They were pork and shrimp wontons, with all sorts of other stuff in there — mmm delish! Back to my dilemma…
There are quite a few pink tops in the new hoard, I think I’ll go with one of those and a pair of black pants and my new Dansko clogs (I’m bringing the old pair to switch into). “Pink is my signature color,” as Shelby Eatenton Latcherie (Julia Roberts) said in Steel Magnolias. And it is. I grew up in a pink-carpeted, pink-furnitured, pink-striped-wallpapered, pink-blanketed bedroom, and nothing has ever made me stop loving the color. Oh yeah, there were those years that made my grandmother cringe when all I wore was black, but I’ve always loved pink, always returned to my girly-girl roots. What’s your take on the ultimate princess color?
