Pink Corduroy Pants

Standard

(Please note this is a light read. Recently WordPress sent me my site stats and one of my blogs has over 28,000 reads and hundreds of comments too. Sadly, it is a much heavier subject and has garnered much attention. All appreciated!)

Have you ever loved something so much that you went and purchased it in every color? 

Last winter I found pink and red and white and black corduroy pants from Talbots that fit me like a dream. I was losing weight and down to a size 10. This year I returned and there they were again in style and at the very front of the store. This time I purchased wine and turquoise corduroy pants in a size 8 and again they fit like they were tailor made for me.

A few days ago, I met with a professional photographer and as soon as we introduced ourselves, she said, “I love your pink corduroy pants” without skipping a beat, I shared with her, and I have them in all these colors and I love them. Then I remembered last year at the dentist office the girls in the office were commenting that they loved my red corduroy pants. Of course, it made me smile because I feel so good in them and love them too.

I stopped wearing blue jeans and wear my cords all winter long. They are so comfortable and fun to wear, they make me happy.

My husband is a long time Levi’s jeans wearer and this Christmas Levi’s had men’s corduroy pants. He tried them on, and they fit like they were made for him. Guess who is now creating his own collection of corduroy pants? He now has them in brown, black and gray and they look amazing on him.

I remember corduroy when I was a kid. I had them in a burnt orange color bell-bottoms when I was about twelve and traveled from our farm in Pennsylvania to family friends in Baltimore, Maryland. They were special and made me feel good. I also had them in overalls in a brighter orange color when I was in high school. Loved them then as well!

Apparently, my love of corduroy started when I was young and lingers on even stronger today. They make me happy! What makes you happy? What do you bring into your world both big and small that makes you smile and feel good?

So here is to all of us enjoying an abundance of all the things we love, and enjoying them in as many colors as we love …

Peace, love, and blessings in this New Year 2024!

What is your color?

What is your color?

Keith Urban sings “Blue looks good on the sky … Baby, blue ain’t your color …” in the song titled Blue Ain’t Your Color

I remember learning to meditate on colors and what they represented like white was for peace and yellow for energy and black to exhale all that was wrong and bad and negative.

I believe we all have a color? I am most attracted to green and it represents life and growth and all that is living. If I had to pick “my” color is would definitely be green.

Pink, purple and blue are colors that I find pretty and soothing. Black and red for me are power colors. You can have your colors done for your skin tone and hair and eye color, what goes best what looks best.

Browns, tans and sand colors always represent grounding and neutrality and harmony and balance. Why are we attracted to the sun? We know we find energy there.

Darkness is just that … dark … is goes well with sadness and depression. Color can help lift our moods and our spirits. Go to the light for all that is good and alive … the dark side is just what it sounds like.

Advertising agencies have carefully chosen the colors on packaging because they know what colors we will reach for the most. Most things are bring to get us to pick them up.

Color can be a powerful force in our lives. We all react to color. What colors are you most attracted to and what do those colors make you feel?

We all have our color and our colors, what is your color?
