Colors
for your Wardrobe
Which color to wear?
Have
you taken inventory of your closet lately? You may be in a fashion
rut and need to introduce some different colors into your wardrobe
that will better reflect your day-to-day moods. Unless your mother
is still dressing you or you are a slave to following the latest
fashion color trends, why not become a mood dresser? Mood dressers
are people who are in-tune with their emotions and dress accordingly.
Do you feel pink today? Or, do you feel blue?
Wearing Green - Nurturing and Earthy
Green is considered to be one of the most healing among all the
colors.
Because green is the color of trees and grasses it is a wonderful
color choice to wear anytime you are wanting to feel more in-tune
with nature. Green represents the Spring season and new growth.
Choose this color to wear whenever you are embarking on something
new or wish to turn over a new leaf.
Wearing Blue - Serenity and Calm
Wearing blue helps create a place of calm and serenity.
Wearing ocean hues of blue is especially calming. Indigo or darker
blues can offer more of a comfort zone feeling, almost as if you
are sinking into a pool of warm water. Blues in general remind me
of a favorite pair of well-worn denim jeans - now that's simply
relaxing.
Wearing Gray or Black - Invisibility and Blending In
Wearing grays and blacks can be depressive. Let's face it, black
and gray are fashion basics. We all have the basic black suit or
black dress slacks that are a must wear for a number of different
social settings. Aside from the slinky spaghetti strapped number
you have hanging in the back of the closet, you likely choose to
wear black because you prefer to blend in and not make any statement.
Wearing black will allow you to keep a low-profile in social settings
if that is your intention. Don't wear black if you want to stand
out amidst a crowd. Most folks don't even bother to wear black at
funerals anymore, it's just too sad to wear dreary and dark colors.
Wearing Orange - Energetic and Creative
Orange urges you to get out into the world and create something
grand!
Orange is a very high energy color. Its creativity juices are extremely
intoxicating and sweet tasting. Wearing orange is fun and can make
you feel quite playful. Artists love dabbling with orange hues.
. Adorning yourself with an orange accent piece can add a hint of
playfulness. Beware, if you need to complete a mundane project avoid
wearing orange as it might interfere with the stick-to-it-ness required
to stay on task.
Wearing Pink - Open Heart
Wearing pink conveys compassion and an open heart.
Most people associate pink with babies, little girls, and feminine
energies. But more than feeling feminine, wearing pink conveys compassion
and an open heart. When people are wearing pink, whether they are
male or female, they appear approachable and capable of loving others.
If you want to feel heart-connected reach for that pastel pink sweater
from your closet to wear. And if pastel colors don't suit you try
on something in bright fuchsia. You'll feel pretty in pink.
Wearing Purple - Unique and Special
Wearing purple shows others that you want to be noticed.
Purple is seldom worn as a neutral color. Purple is the wrong color
choice to make if you are wanting to blend in among others as you
go about your business. The color purple, especially shades of violet,
will definitely make a statement. Wearing purple shows others that
you want to be noticed. If it is your desire to feel special and
unique then purple is the right color choice. If you would like
to send a message out into the world that you're one of a kind and
that you could care less about conformity, then wear purple.
Wearing Red - Powerful and Confident
Red can really pack a punch when needed.
Red is a very powerful color. Wear red whenever you feel a need
to portray confidence or would like to boost your self esteem. However,
be aware that wearing too much red can make a person come off a
little too intimidating to others who may lack self confidence in
themselves. Visualizing the color red can help ground your energies
so anyone who has "flighty" tendencies will benefit from
wearing red to serve as a reminder to ground themselves throughout
the day.
Wearing White - Fresh Outlook - New
Beginnings
Wearing white will help reduce any nagging feelings of disappointment
or drudge.
White represents cleansing and new beginnings. Putting on a white
blouse feels like being given an opportunity to start the day with
a clean slate. Wearing a white garment, as long as it hasn't taken
on any discoloration from too much laundering, can offer a fresh
and bright outlook. Be sure to get rid of any dingy white clothes
often, replacing them with brighter whites.
Wearing Yellow - Cheerful and Happy
Yellow is the perfect color to wear whenever your spirits needs
an uplift.
Yellow carries the same healing qualities associated with the sun.
It offers warmth, optimism, and light. All shades of yellows and
golds will cheer you up and help make you feel happier. Wearing
yellow out into the world makes an affirmation statement. For certain,
yellow is a perky color!
