Today
was a 'Berry' day in terms of color on the side of the spectrum that makes up
pretty shades of pink and red. This is specifically referring to what I
happened to be wearing and/or accessories I got, and I didn't realize they
were all so similar until later.
Now I should put this into perspective a bit.
First I would say I'm normally not a pink person at all, and if I make an
exception it's because it is a faint shade like a pastel pink. If I had to
pick a side with the colors, blues and purples would win every time. But today
everything was bright, bold, and berry.
Secondly, I had just turned in
four different assignments after a weekend of crazy work to get them turned in
on time, so the stress for all that was finally gone.
And third, it was
sunny for the first time after days of rain and the wind died down a little,
allowing the air to be almost warm enough to go outside without a coat. So I
believe it was this combination of things that sparked such an out of the
ordinary mood, where I transferred over to the red and pink side of the color
world.
Strawberry:
I
have pinkish red converse that also happen to be sparkly, and today they were
the obvious choice. I really should wear them more often. I have no clue why I
don't. They're just fun and glitter is always a good idea.

Raspberry:
I
managed to buy a nail polish on impulse that was almost fully red but not
quite, still fitting into the pink category a little. It reminded me of
raspberries in general almost immediately, which I always connect with the
summer season. So then I wanted it to be summer and almost bought some ice
cream on impulse as well, but I figured that'd be a bit much. Too many
spontaneous purchases can be not the greatest of ideas. However I did settle
for a smoothie a bit later in the afternoon. Shhh. Don't tell.
Cranberry:
This
was today's winning lipstick shade. My favorite shade. I've actually tried to
get into the habit of automatically putting some on before I leave for my
classes, just because I can. So yes, I personally am a fan of combining
lipstick with the converse look. It just works for Berry days, and well, most
others too. Now add in a black leather jacket, black jeans, and sunglasses. Yes. It was just an "I'm secretly ruling the world" type day.
