Hello Darlings,

Every great outfit begins in your lingerie drawer.

Is there an age limit to wear certain colors such as pink or baby blue? From what I’ve been told, the answer is yes if one wants to be taken seriously. So pink is only for not so serious people. While this may be the case for those who believe it, I strongly disagree.
