When I was a child, the biggest fashion faux pas I could think of was wearing red and pink together. You simply did not do that. As a matter fact, when we had school spirit days, one of them was inevitably “clash day,” and red and pink was the go-to pairing of choice not only for me, but for many of my peers.

How things change!

I have to admit, I was still hesitant to try this pairing. There were already pops of red in the pink skirt, and I was still afraid to put a bold red top with it. But I’ve seen photos of other people wearing these colors together, so I decided to conquer my fear of clashing. I’m not sure this will ever be a natural pairing to me, because for so many years, I thought it was an impossible combination, but I have to say, I love it! I also love how Pinup Girl has helped me step out of my comfort zone, and in doing so, actually helped me become more comfortable with myself!
