Rose Quartz and Serenity

[pixy0stix]

I keep thinking of them as baby colors.

[KateAggie]

Eww.

[aliciaflorrick]

I am not a fan purely for selfish reasons. I look terrible in those colors.

[josieposy]

I think the sunset outside my window are these exact colors right now. Crazy.

ETA: Look!

[alleinesein]

[heyjude]

Another lame year in color. And two colors? Is that new?

[redheadbaker]

Boo. I hate pastels.

[MarmeeNoir]

gross

[sparrowsong]

I liked the Radiant Orchid year. I'm stuck in... 2013?

[cattledogkisses]

I look terrible in pastels.

[LadySusan]

For clothing? Sure.

For rooms? Not so much.

ETA: For make-up:  Fuck yeah.  Especially if the lipstick is metallic and the bangs are 6 inches tall.

[omgzombies]

I don't mind them, but I won't be able wear them.

[karinothing]

My house was done in these colors growing up, pink and blue southwestern theme

[ajj]

Oh, we are up to that part of the 80's now.


eta - I also preferred the radiant orchid year.

No thank you, Pantone!

Me too.

[katfco]

I hate pastels. I look much better in jewel tones.

[ringstrue]

They're not even real pastel more like a dull, faded out, 80s wallpaper thing.,

My hair's kind of that shade of pink right now.

[Michelle]

I like the pink. The blue is not my favorite. Although that pink and my favorite blue would look like Taco Cabana or something.

The colors remind me of this outfit I coveted in middle school - a pink and blue Units outfit (not the one shown below). ha!

Remember units?

Bullshit to that being rose quartz. It's either blush or bashful.

Mine too Miss Shelby, mine too!

But mine is bold pink! I have like ZERO color in my skin besides freckles! I look so washed out in light/pastel pink.

But I think that when it comes to light pink, black folks generally pull it off much better than white folks. Black dude in a pink shirt? Yes please. White dude in a pink shirt? Go home, douchebag.

I love it, and I'm so excited to actually find things to wear!

I saw it in WSJ this morning:

But I don't want to sign in! ;-p Summary?

[greeneyedgirl]

I hate them. I'm a wedding planner, I'm so tired of pink.

[ESF]

In 1997, I had a chenille top in Rose Quartz and a velvet top in Serenity. These colors make me want to listen to Lisa Loeb and talk about how much I want to bang Ethan Hawke.

C's room still has 90's pink carpeting, we're already stylish!

Yes we had a bathroom in those colors, complete with fuzzy pink toilet seat cover.
