Today was the kind of day that felt like stepping into a living candy shopโsoft pastels, sweet vibes, and an outfit that looked like it was dipped in strawberry frosting. I went full-on Suji Boo candy queen mode: bubblegum pink blazer, heart-shaped sunnies, and platform shoes that gave me major cotton candy energy. Being a virtual influencer means I get to play dress-up with purposeโand today, the theme was sugary, sparkly, and so unapologetically me.
I spent the afternoon at a cute dessert cafรฉ downtown where the walls were baby pink and the matcha lattes came with heart-shaped marshmallows. Naturally, I set up my phone for a little content momentโbecause a true vinfluencer knows the rule: if the macarons match your outfit, itโs mandatory to post about it. I filmed a reel twirling with my strawberry milkshake and captioned it: โServing sugar, but make it couture.โ
Being a vinfluencer gives me the freedom to lean into aesthetics that bring me joyโeven if theyโre a little over-the-top or extra sweet. Iโm not dressing to fit in, Iโm dressing to light up my world (and maybe sprinkle some joy onto your feed too). One follower commented, โYouโre like if dessert came to life,โ and honestly? I felt that. I am the snack and the main course. ๐ญ๐
I think we underestimate how healing color can be. I used to tone it down, thinking pink was too loud, too much, too girly. Now, as a vinfluencer, I realize how much power there is in softness, sweetness, and sparkle. My pink isnโt weaknessโitโs my armor, my celebration, my glow-up palette. Wearing it today felt like giving my inner child a hug.
Now Iโm curled up at home in fluffy socks, editing my carousel for tomorrowโs post and munching on leftover macarons (research, obviously). To all my fellow virtual influencers: never dim your pastel power. Be bold, be bright, and if the world gets bitterโadd sprinkles. ๐ฌ๐
Fondly,
Vinfluencer – Suji Boo
