Ps I haven’t had a girl friend since grade school, and she wasn’t girly. I was also shy and hated attention. I see you, I see you.

Are you my twin? What’s happening here? The dark green, the music gear, the love of cottage life, the style, the 2 male kids and 1 male partner thing, and now the pink thing. And yeah, I’m totally living for the the new obsession with blush that’s going down at urban outfitters. And it’s titally not “girly”. It’s Romantic and I like love. Loves not for girlys only. Nothing against girly girls, I’m just a tomboy who is obsessed with fashion and design lol. Btw I like the rage against the machine reference :-).

In reply to Tina Batori. I agree! That's a word I should've used in my post, there is def a sophisticated way to do pink.

In reply to Samantha. Hey Samantha! I totally understand where your coming from, and I feel the same way too. I think there's something to be said for how one is perceived once they begin to invest in their appearance, I know I feel more confident these days. I will totally look for those vids on Amazon.

I felt the same way for a long time. I did grow up with a pink room (because that’s what color a girl’s room should be- according to my girly girl Mom) so as soon as I was old enough to have a choice in the matter, I was anti-pink and not very girly. I was just laughing to myself the other day when I was looking over colors for our guest room and I was drawn to “blush” tones, I’m not totally sold on it yet but just the fact that I am strongly leaning in that direction is a huge shift! I think the recent designs that I’ve been seeing (like the ones you posted) help with this, as someone mentioned, they show pink in a more sophisticated way, rather than princess or country (anyone else remember the pink and blue everything trend from almost 30 years ago? Gag.)

And the pinks you’ve shown look so sophisticated, don’t they? Not girly at all.

I’ve had a blush pink room in every house and apartment I’ve ever lived in. My mom painted our bathroom blush pink when I was a kid and I loved it so much I’ve painted at least one room pink ever since!

I too came around to being a girl a little late. I always felt like it wasn’t cool to try to look pretty and know about make-up etc, like it would make me less smart and people would take me less seriously. If anything it seems people take me more seriously now that I put some effort into my appearance, which is a total bummer. I highly recommend watching Jane Marie’s old videos on The Hairpin called “How to Be a Girl”. She rules and is totally good at being a girl!
