Well, then I got confused and embarrassed (2,3,4)

I believe the answer is:

in the pink

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'well' is the definition.
(meaning healthy)

'then i got confused and embarrassed' is the wordplay.
'got confused' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'get confused' mean this (I've seen this in other clues)).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'embarrassed' becomes 'pink' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'then'+'i'='theni'
'theni' with letters rearranged gives 'inthe'.
'inthe'+'pink'='IN THE PINK'

Can you help me to learn more?
