Alright Ladies, Listen Up
Everybody say "I" if you've ever been screwed over by an ex-romantic partner who was TOTALLY, UTTERLY, and COMPLETELY underserving of you, your time, and your attention...
(For the sake of this blog, I'm imagining that you there on the other side of the screen just gave a resounding and enthusiastic "I")
If you're anything like me, after a breakup you go through different phases.
Phase One is typically spent sobbing, rotting in the same oversized Marilyn Monroe T-Shirt, and picking at an old Dominoes pizza like a mangy raccoon.
Phase Two your time is consumed with binge-drinking, crafting shockingly long (but always well-written) text messages to The Ex, and entering back into the dark depths of Tinder & Hinge.
Phase Three is plotting revenge.
And Phase Four of course is peace, acceptance, and the decision to move forward in silence etc. But this phase is SUUUPPPEERRR BORING!
So let's go back to Phase Three shall we?
Here at The Pink Closet Company, we think the best way to get back at The Ex is through your post-relationship wardrobe. It'll make you feel good, look good, and most importantly won't get you sent to jail! I've curated a couple looks, plus attached a calculated *and totally psychological* piece of advice to each one that will have The Ex reeling from the loss of you, the one that got away😉
Revenge Is A Dish Best Served In Red!
Red is sexy, powerful, and looks good on EVERYBODY. It makes a statement that you are not one to be messed with, and will hopefully put you in the mindset to take no prisoners as you deal with the inevitable post-breakup fallout. You let The Ex get away with enough! Now it's time to dish up some Red Hot Revenge.
An Outfit To Go Out In, So You Can Meet Someone New To Go Out With!
As my friends and I always say, it's time to GET OUTSIDE! Wash your hair, beat your face, put on your favorite going out playlist, and have a drink with your girls and gays. Kiss a stranger on the dance floor, get a couple of phone numbers, and meet new people to prove to yourself that life isn't going to start and end with The Ex. The Number #1 mistake we make as women after a relationship ends, is forgetting that there are 8 billion people walking this planet. I know it feels catastrophic and devastating, trust me I do, so how about we start by throwing on an outfit that makes you look and feel like a certified knockout? For me, that means black, lacy, sleek, and sexy!

An Intimate PJ Set To Remind Them Who They Don't Get To Wake Up Next To Anymore!
Well ladies, I think we know exactly what I'm doing with this one... A scantily clad pajama set is about as subtle as a sexy bulldozer, but hey? I've never been one for subtlety! Get The Ex thinking about how they will never again know the privilege of falling asleep or waking up next to you. Or, seeing you not in the set if you know what I'm saying... Wink, Wink, Nudge, Nudge, and all of the innuendos!
Never Underestimate The Power of Pretty!
Now what I mean by never underestimate the power of pretty, is that we as women are oftentimes in an effort to oversexualize ourselves in order to feel important or worthy. I have fallen victim to this more times than I can count, often taking for granted just how amazing I feel when I simply look pretty. Pretty is timeless, effortless, and elegant and that's what I love about it. It's no secret my friend, that you are absolutely beautiful and that right there is the greatest punishment of all. Never again will The Ex get to experience the beauty that radiates throughout you. I feel pretty in this white, lacey, and glittery romper. It's unique, just like me and you!
Screw Them And Do It For You!
The most important lesson is screw 'em (not literally please ladies)! You've lived your life for this person long enough. Make them shed that metaphorical tear over what a piece they're missing out on, and then remind yourself who you're truly wearing these outfits for. Spoiler Alert: It's you! Because as always, You Are Enough.
