Bullet Points:
-Some one gave me a gift…a polar fleece vest…in the ugliest color…bright fuchsia?! Not a color I would ever choose or wear…too fake looking….and didn’t that person know that pink is way too “girly” for me? I put it in the closet…way in the back…
-A couple of years later, I am on a Spring walk with my camera, in search of new flowers. I come across a stunning flower, the brightest color for miles around (or so it seems). I have these thoughts, “there are so many colors in Nature that we just have not been able to duplicate. We don’t even have names for some of the colors we see in a sunset or a flower. This flower is a spectacular color!! I wish I had something to wear in this color…”
I pick just a blossom leaf or two to take home. I put them in my pocket.
-That same week I am doing a closet downsizing for a Goodwill run and find the never worn, long-forgotten ugly pink vest tucked way in the back…..and then I remember those bright colored petals!
I blushed about the same color!
Needless to say, it has become one of my favorite things to wear. I even got socks, a scarf and shoes with a stripe in the same color!
Now I’m wondering if I owe my gift-giver an apology…….
LOL – arent you glad you didn’t throw it out in the first place?!?!
YES! Great point! Thanks for visiting!
Oh glad you kept it. I bet you are a breath of fresh air to others when you wear that pretty color.
Sweet. I know I am at the least eye-catching in it!! Thanks Nancy.
I’m glad my Color Your World post inspired that memory!!!
It sure did. At the end of your series, maybe you could post them all in order in a line or something. Lovely rainbow!
I’m only doing it from time to time, as I have colors to fit the assignment. There was a prompt last year to do a post with the colors of the rainbow. If you want to look go to https://livinglearningandlettinggo.wordpress.com/2015/06/20/weekly-photo-challenge-roy-g-biv/. I think if I was doing that challenge now I would make the pictures much bigger.
Lovely shade of pink. I always feel good wearing bright pink or red. 🙂
I’m starting to now also. Thanks for your comment.
🙂
That is girly. Apparently, pink brings love….or something like that.
