There is plenty evidence that I haven’t been able to let my passion for pink go – from my pink lunch bag, my workout bag and even pink computer mouse. As a matter of fact, I’m in the process of creating a decorating plan for my bedroom and, yes, I will be featuring pink. I know you may be thinking “Pink? Really? Who are you Elle Woods?

You just have to know how to do it the right way. In today’s post, you’ll see that pink isn’t just for little girls.
