Pretty in Pink

With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, you can’t have too much pink in your life. Pink is a sweet color that suits any age. It also comes in many variations from salmon to pale pink (like one of the Pantone colors of the year) to a bright bubble gum hue. For many “Pretty in Pink” brings to mind Molly Ringwald and classic 80s movies. Pink is also tender and kind and is a sign of hope for many people.

My adorable niece is modeling a colorful patterned sweater, skinny black jeans and silver and black boots. I have a similar outfit except my heels are a “little” higher. MacKenzie’s sweater is perfect for Valentine’s Day with the embroidered hearts and colorful accents. For a photo shoot or an event, Goodwill is great for finding adorable children’s clothes, especially when you need a special outfit. I always went to Goodwill first to look for a Christmas dress or a recital outfit.

With Valentine’s Day coming up, you still have plenty of time to outfit the whole family in something special. Whether you are cooking at home or going out, dressing in red and pink is fun, festive and Goodwill makes it affordable. Remember, it’s not about the cards, flowers or candy – spending time together with the ones you love is the real gift!

Happy Valentine’s Day!
