Hot pink is a wearable color

September 9, 2016

Yes, I understand you’re probably thinking Lily, we’re not 6 year old anymore. We do not wear the color hot pink from head to toe. We do not want to look like cotton candy and give everyone diabetes just looking at us. But if you’re like me and pink is one of your favorite colors, then let me explain how hot pink is actually a pretty wearable color.

So there are 2 ways you can break down the color: adding a neutral color or adding a neutral print. Adding a neutral is easy. Since neutral colors go with pretty much anything, including hot pink. So try pink dress and white blazer, pink dress and black shoes. Or my favorite – pink and grey/silver accessories.

Another quick way to tone down this pinkness is to add a neutral print. That includes any print or pattern of neutral colors: leopard print, zebra print. You can try leopard print heels, black and white patterned clutch, etc. Leopard is my favorite animal print ever. And the best part, it goes perfectly with my favorite color!

So do you wear hot pink? What is your favorite way to make it a wearable color?

✨ Wood signs for my little Prince baby shower ✨:

- I ordered custom adhesive vinyl decals to be printed for large dimensions (around 3-5 ft tall). 
- Cut the shapes out, and trace the shapes on wood boards (I used 1/4” thick plywood).
- I put painter tape around the traced line to reduce wood chipping when cutting with a saw later.
- Cut the shapes on the wood boards with a jig saw.
- Brad nail leftover woods on the back to make a stand for the signs (some small pieces of 2x4 worked well). 
- Apply the adhesive back of the art decals onto the wood signs.
- Enjoy! 🩵✨🎠

☺️ What I’d do different if I do this again: 
1. The horse and carriage are ok, but I’d loved the castle to be taller.
2. Use foam boards instead of wood for lighter weight. Wood would be great if these signs will be outside where it might be windy, but for indoors event, I would do foam.

My birth story 🤰🏻: 
I went to bed at 39w3d with contractions 10 minutes apart, but had thought they were faux labor contractions (because I had Braxton Hicks and prodromal contractions most of pregnancy) so I didn’t think much of it. I woke up at 2am and called my doctor at 4am since contractions were 7 min apart (still thinking they were not real 😂). Good thing she told me to come in. I debated if I should put makeup on and decided to not - wise decision! During the car ride, 7 min apart became 5 min apart. When we arrived at hospital, I was 6cm dilated. I asked for epidural and by the time I got one, I was 8cm dilated. I started pushing shortly after, and baby came after 20 minutes of pushing.
