Happy Thursday, friends!  Let’s have some fun today with Pink Shirts on Pam.

As you can see here, Pink Shirts on Pam is inspired by one of my favorites...Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss.

Just five years ago, you would have heard me say…I do not like to wear pink shirts, nor graphic tees, nor even skirts.  

I do not like them, Sam I am…not in a box, not in a frock…I do not like them…not on Pam.

So, it is rather funny that lo and behold, pink is now in my best colors…( I have also changed my mind about graphic tees and skirts…more to come on these).

Proving, that with fashion it is always a good thing to have an open mind….you never know when you might see things differently.

Let’s probe pink shirts on Pam a bit further.  Of course, Sam-I AM can join along.

PINK SHIRTS ON PAM: SHADES OF PINK

For Valentine’s Day, Mr. B suggested that we go explore downtown Abilene a little more.

There were a couple of places I wanted him to see…one being this new shop, Oakstreet on First…gorgeous antiques, and home to some of my favorite local vendors.

It being Valentine’s Day, I decided to wear pink….and I reached for an older pink shirt, I have owned awhile.

As I looked over my pictures, the shade of pink just did not seem right.

These are my best pinks in my spring palette with Geranium Pink and Flamingo Pink at the top of the list.

The color from Chico’s last year that I fell so hard for matched Flamingo Pink perfectly.

And I just feel vibrant and alive in this shade of pink shirts.

I do hope I can find a few more in this shade or similar.

There are a few pieces in Dried Roses remaining at Chico’s….Clearance Items in Dried Roses.

I already have a few of these.

But as I said, my goal for purchasing is to go warm and bright…so unless the softer pink shirts are very special, I will be looking more for shades like the three star colors.

PINK SHIRTS ON PAM: OUR DATE

Our compass was pointed toward downtown, and though this is a small town, it is a fun town.

We shopped, and then walked through one of the storybook gardens.

I asked him for the Dr. Seuss garden because I am such a fan.

And I was able to teach him about some of the ones unfamiliar to him.

You gotta love Horton…a person’s a person, no matter how small.

You can see it was muddy…and cool on this day.  We had just experienced a cold front with rain going through the night before.

That made the garden a bit more challenging, so we went across the street (after some shopping)….

And traded in green eggs & ham for delicious calamari!  This was the highlight of the meal for me…so good.

And we completely enjoyed our reservations at Cypress Street Station.

This upscale restaurant was completely booked and we were luck to get reservations for the middle of the afternoon.  Valentine’s evening was no-go.

Oh yes, and what did we buy when shopping?  Paintings…one for home and one for his office. He was so excited, he drove it to his office and hung it that day.

We found these at Living Chic.

This week, I have explained my Spring Palette shopping goals for this year, so thank you for joining in for Pink Shirts on Pam.

I hope to see more new arrivals soon with some of my best colors on the rack…believe me you will know when I do….and I am hopeful a variety of colors will serve all of our palettes.

For now, I have put the latest finds in MY SHOP, in a collection called Corals, Pinks and New Shoes.  Yes, there are collections with other colors.

In conclusion…I DO like green eggs and ham and pink shirts on Pam!

Until tomorrow….
