Two pink dresses, several pink blouses, three pink sweaters, and many pink shirts/shells, tees. There are so many shades of pink, so I wear it year round. Also, it's a great color to layer with.

Southern sororities. I have never bought and owned so much pink apparel as when I was at college in VA and in a sorority. I have since moved back North and my wardrobe is once again mostly of a black/white/neutral persuasion.

haha thats the same thing i thought while reading that. I mean, honestly, i may have one or two pink items in my closet, and they're both accessories. Pink just screams Paris Hilton/Juicy Couture to me, and thats NOT a good thing.

i don't wear a lot of color, but i have a lot of blush tones - in tops, sweaters, dresses. i would consider those pink..i think. but, i am from the south and i was in a sorority so i guess i fit with the other commenters haha.

my sorority doesn't wear much pink at all. but we're also in santa barbara- we tend to stick to blues and greens and neutrals that go with our beach location. and on that note, the only pink thing i own is a bright bubblegum pink shawl scarf. i like to wear something bright on dreary days.

I was surprised when I read this post, but after I thought about my wardrobe, I realized it's true. I only have one pink tank top and one peachy-pink tank top. Any other pink items found in my wardrobe are relegated to underwear and prints. I do, however, like raspberry shades, but I actually only have one raspberry skirt (and plenty of nail polish).

I don't own any pink; nothing against the color, but I've never seen a shade of pink I liked on something I would actually wear. I hate that baby pastel pink color. I've seen people wearing pink velour tracksuits before, but (thankfully) that's pretty rare.

I wear pink in shades ranging from pastel to magenta. It looks really good on me. I can't imagine not wearing it.

Orange, on the other hand, looks terrible on me. I don't own any orange or rust clothing.

I enjoy pink, all shades - hot, pale, dusty. But agree its best in small doses and well, not at work. I maybe have a half dozen pink pieces. The people buying pink: grandmothers, suburban moms and sorority girls (we had a crazy amount at my college).

Might be a long shot but after doing the Breast Cancer 3-day this year I have about five times the pink clothing in my closet than I did a year ago.

Out of support you wear your pink to the fundraising events you attend and you also need clothing for three days of walking - multiply that by thousands of women/men x lots of cities = a lot of pink. Plus there are a whole bunch of other breast cancer events all over the country all of the time.

Oh no! I think this post hurts my feelings a little bit. I wear pink all the time. I think it's one of the few colors that looks good on me. I own mostly black (and actually no other colors that I can think of), but I love to throw on a bright pink scarf or blazer, or wear a filmy, blush pink blouse under a black or gray business suit for work. Plus, I think it looks great with gold metallics.

I have a pair of hot pink polka dot pumps that I wear... sometimes. I also have a pink cardigan that I wear fairly frequently.

I'm from the midwest, though, too, and I guess that I do see it fairly frequently. But now I'm in LA and I feel like I see it a lot.

I have a few pink "work shirts" from when I worked somewhere that actually required conservative, button-down type attire. I do have one light pink graphic tee with a swirly peacock design also. But def does not dominate the closet by any means.

Oh. I just remembered my heavy winter coat is a blush colored houndstooth. I guess I have more than I thought!

pink is my favorite color but aside from one magenta dress everything i own (for clothes) is mostly black, grey, and blue. however, in terms of non clothes items i buy a TON of pink. pink towels, pink sheets, pink duvet cover, pink bowls, pink laundry basket. at my old house i used to have my walls panted hot pink too. i think if i came across more clothes that i liked that were offered in pink id wear more of it too though

I have: one light pink $4 sweatshirt from a clearance rack. Underwear. Nail polish. And a lacey tank top thing.

That's it. I live in Arizona, though, where a majority of people do wear much more color than I; and when I was in college, it was ALL OVER every sorority girl (and wannabe sorority girl) in sight.

When I was ten, though, my favorite outfit consisted of pink cords, a pink turtleneck, and a navy blue sweater-vest.

I thought I was the stuff.

I cant say that I have alot of pink clothes, but i'm HUGE on the pink accessories. Loads of pink shoes consume my closet along with an assortment of purses, scarves, and every kind of jewelry item you can think of. Oh, and dont let me exclude the pink makeup] I personally i think SPLASHES of pink are best. No one needs to be walking around looking like a bottle of Pepto-Bismol.
