It's raining pink

in
When you raid a New Yorker’s closet (a.k.a. bedroom), you would find that 80% (or more) of the fabulous pieces are black. Personally, for those days when I don’t know what to wear, you would always find me in a black dress or a black shirt over jeans, or a black coat to gussy up a rather laid-back ensamble. I am used to that—black makes my wardrobe wholly versatile, it’s my to-go treasure.

But when I was walking the streets of Shanghai, Suozhou, Hangzhuo, and Poutoushan, I only see one dominant color: PINK. Amidst the low-30s temperature in China (when it’s mid-60s in NYC. Yeah, it sucks) I still can’t help myself but take pictures of beautiful ladies in pink coats, shoes, or purses in different shades.

  I can only imagine their closets.

    Great photos! How funny that so much people wear pink there. In my country people wear a lot of black too, so I don't see so much pink coats on the streets either. I wanted to thank you for your very inspiring comment on my blog! Love how you say that you want to dream big and not sleep forever. Gonna remember that :) XX Kirsten

    When I lived in Rome, black was definitely the dominant color as well. How surprising and lovely to see all of this pink here!

    It's nice to see all these shades of pink! Because in other places, people tend to wear dark colors when it rains ;)

    Nice post!
    I've never realized how many ppl actually wear pink in china. I went there a few times too lol.
    I dunno, but lately bright colors are dominating the way ppl dress in Asia, yet still, no pink for me. I'm not its big fan :)
