Color Me Bad :Aug 16, 2007Have you ever had a day when you put on whatever? Time was tight and you just flew out the door in a mad rush -- and the rest of the day never went right. You figured you were having a bad day because you never got it together. Did you ever stop and think it may be the color you were wearing? Perhaps co-workers asked if you were feeling alright and when you looked in the mirror, you looked drained and dreary. Wearing the wrong colors can do this to you.
Colors have energy. The wrong colors can make you look dull and lifeless. The right colors make you glow and let your true beauty shine. When chosen correctly, colors can help you look vibrant and young. When you wear unflattering colors, they can make you appear sickly, old and tired. Just as it is with styles, don’t wear colors that are not flattering.There are ways to incorporate your best colors into your wardrobe when the current fashion colors don't suit you. The best way is with accessories. When you wear scarves, jewelry, belts and purses that are in your colors, you will show personal style and look great. Learn which colors and tones are the most flattering for you before you make any purchases. Colors have a remarkable affect psychologically on our mood. Colors can affect how you feel or how others perceive you. If you wear a pretty vibrant red blouse, you will look energetic and have an air of authority. If on the other hand, you are wearing a dark brown blouse, you may feel more subdued or reserved. Colors can also be used to camouflage your body’s imperfections or highlight your assets. Wearing a dark neutral pair of pants or skirt will help minimize a larger bottom. Or bring attention to a certain part of the body by wearing a lighter or brighter color. Dark colors recede or absorb light, while light colors jump out or reflect light. When wearing the right colors you will naturally feel more confident. If you think you already know your best colors, it can’t hurt to re-assess them and see if they are still pleasing on you. Your skin can become more sallow with age, and your natural hair color may change, too. It may be time to “tweak” your colors a bit. The color-by-season theory is not an exact science, but it is a useful tool. These questions will help you select your ‘seasonal’ colors: |
