Look: Off-Black

How about a Q&A??

What camera do you use? - Nikon D5200

How did you get into style blogging? I was inspired by the site Lookbook.nu.  So I created a blog that I can post more pictures.  It gives me a way to express my creativity .

Where did you come up with the name Purging of Pink?  I was trying to find a name for my blog but I couldn't come up with anything so I asked my friend who is great with words.  He gave me a list of crazy names such as Bum Whiskers, The Cyclops Winks, and Platypus Whisperer.  I like how Purging of Pink sounds so that's what I chose.  Shout out to JC that helped me come up with the name. 

Who takes your pictures? my mom 

What are you favorite fashion designers? - I like to bargain shop

What is you nationality? I was born in Far East Russia across the Sea of Japan

What's your perfect pizza? I don't eat pizza I'm gluten and dairy free

What can't you life without? Fruit. I'm on a quest to try all the different edible fruits in the world.  Not much of a fan of durian though.  I love going to different countries and trying all the exotic fruits such as star apple and sweetsop from Jamaica, mangosteen from Thailand, and guava from Mexico.

Look: Rusty Twig

The temperature outside feels like it will be halloween tomorrow.  And I'm anxiously waiting for the Harry Potter addition 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them' prequel to hit theaters.  I'm so happy there has been a lot of activity coming from the HP World. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child book is also coming out in a few months. Being an all time fan, I was inspired to create a look based off the wizarding world.  

I didn't like how the belt looked with the outfit so I got a new one after taking the picture.  I could have retaken the pictures but felt that would be a hassle.  So instead I posted a picture of it below.

Look: Thinking About Saving the World

Being an environmental advocate I often think about what is the best way to clean the environment and to make it a better place.  I went to college studying geology because I was fascinated by the way the world works and one day I believe I could preserve it.  Today I work as an environmental consultant mitigating polution and protecting the people and ecology of high risk areas where contamination prevails.  However throughout my line of work I see that instead of addressing the root cause of the problem people take apon a crisis approach.  That is, they start creating action only when a problem arrises.  Same is true in the medical field.  When one is diagnosed with a condition only then they may stop smoking or eating junk food.  

They only way to save our planet is to save yourself.  Let me explain, when you take upon a more healthier mindset you want the best thing for you.  That maybe eating more nutritious food, striving for healthier relationships, buying cruelty-free hair care, and using 'green' products for your home. You're supporting the companies that do it right.  You are removing chemical toxins in and around you. You are creating an environment that is beautiful and nourishing not only for yourself but for those around you.  What is the inner, is the outer. 

Lets face it, you can't change the planet.  You cant force people to do things a certain way.  Focus on being your best self every single day.  Save yourself to save the world.

Look: Call It Spring

Hey I'm back!!!  I was a bit worried to start this blog again due to the Mars Retrograde but we will see what the future bodes.  In the meantime I am going to take advantage of this perfect weather and lovely scenery popping up everywhere such as the cherry blossom behind me.  I find it fascinating how plants spring to life from what seemed to be a long cold death; winters are brutal.  But, so happy things are starting fresh and new again.

Look: Beachbum

I had a fun day at the beach on Lake Michigan.  If you look far enough you can pretend your looking at the ocean where the water meets the sky.  There are waves crashing on the shore and the water is still a lovely blue.  I mostly stayed on the beachside since I fear jumping into lake water.  The ocean is hundreds of  miles away but I will soon see it on my travels.

The image above was inspired by my recent interest in alchemy symbols.  I don't want to get to much into alchemy since it may be a dry topic for some but I worked with the idea of joining two pairs to become one as a mirror image.  The eye on the dress may symbolize the gateway to the soul, along with other meanings.  Or in this case one's eyes staring at the reflection in the mirror seeing a projected image of themselves.  As one often does to see how an outfit is put together.  =P Happy Wednesday fashion lovers.
