My mom, sisters and I went to a boutique today. A salesperson greeted us, explained their philosophy on sizing, then handed us a reference card. This boutique believes that every woman should celebrate and accept themselves, so instead of numbers being used to indicate your size, they use colors. So the reference card showed that purple was the smallest, followed by green, and so on.
This reminded me of a professor who told her future teachers to avoid red when grading papers because red communicated negativity and lowered self-esteem. So...if I use purple, will purple become the new red?
I'm not sure the boutique or the professor thought this through.

I'm with you on this, Krista. It's all a bit strange to me. You still have the labeling. Whether you're a color or a reading group, you're still labeled.
Hey K-
I loved your comment on my last post, but I deleted it for content. (It was fine for me, but I just don't know who's reading my blog right now.)
I hope you have a wonderful Christmas. I can't wait to see you in a few short days either!!
Love YOU.
