Day 3

Pretty in Pink.

The colour of the feminine.

Makes you appear loving and approachable.

Very few women will admit that they want to look pretty. I don't think we have been raised in NZ to be 'pretty'. We are practical people, wearing practical clothes.

The thought of wearing clothes just to be pretty is very foreign to most of us.

The definition of pretty is to 'look attractive in a delicate way'.

I have recently dressed four women for makeovers for the NZ Womans Weekly. All four of them said when they saw themselves - 'I feel so pretty'! It was like they did not think that it was possible. They were delighted.

I believe every woman can look pretty - one of my favourite quotes in by Helena Rubinstein: "There is no such thing as an ugly woman only a lazy one"!

Go and try on something delicate & feminine. In the shops or even in your own wardrobe. Lurking in the back there is probably something you have not seen for a while. Something your wore years ago when you actually felt pretty?

The shops are full of florals and dresses. It won't be hard to find.

Yours in Pink,
