I’ve always been drawn to the colour pink in all its glorious shades.
So no one was more excited than I when blush pink came sweeping into fashion. You can be sure I am riding that trend for as long as it lasts — I’ve bought blush blouses, jumpers, pillows, dresses and beanies.
When I saw $39.95 sneakers in a pinkish, not-quite-blush hue in a Rubi Shoes shop window, I thought ‘why not?’
Little did I know they would become my go-to footwear, taking over as the shoe that goes with everything. (Well, almost everything – I wouldn’t wear them to a black tie dinner.)
A major reason is the colour, mostly referred to as nude (though I recognise it is not the colour of many people’s skin). It’s a neutral, like grey, black, white or brown, but somehow better — while each of these colours goes with most things, these shoes go with everything.
