SPRING COLOR 2014
This year the spring color is an electric neon pink. I
already have a sweater in this color, a gift from my sister. She guessed that
this would be the latest thing when she gave it to me. I am good to go. In the
mall windows they are showing bright pink sweaters, blouses and tops and pink
jeans. The pink jeans are interesting, I guess, as I try to conjure the event I
would attend in them. Symphony…no…movie…maybe…grocery
stores…maybe…church…no…writers meeting…they’d almost be too polite to laugh…
perhaps not.
The problem with this dazzling color is that it is hard to
work with and accessorize. Too much of the bright pink and you’ll look like a
walking tulip, scary, but ambulatory. You must acquire and wear this color in
small doses. Well let’s consider how small, a scarf, a shell, a purse, a pair
of shoes, perhaps just the right amount. Anything more needs careful
consideration, very careful.
My beautiful sister, who I love dearly, often gives me great
fashion advice usually while we are walking along looking into windows. Her
voice will often replay in my ears as I contemplate various fashion foibles
that might take a turn to the dark side. No one wants fashion to turn on them
after they have left the store, but I have my sister’s voice whispering in my
ear her words of wisdom, “Nothing that
color belongs on something that size.”
