Colour Therapy and Your Wardrobe Wearing Your Emotions

Have you taken inventory of your closet lately? You may be in a fashion rut and need to introduce some different colours 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 colour 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?

1. Wearing Green - Nurturing and Earthy

Green is considered to be one of the most healing among all the colours.

Because green is the colour of trees and grasses it is a wonderful colour choice to wear anytime you want to feel more in-tune with nature. Green represents the spring season and new growth. Choose this colour to wear whenever you are embarking on something new or wish to.

2. 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.

3. Wearing Grey or Black - Invisibility and Blending In

Wearing greys and blacks can be depressive. Let's face it, black and grey 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. 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.

4. Wearing Orange - Energetic and Creative

Orange urges you to get out into the world and create something grand! Orange is a very high energy colour. Its creativity juices are extremely intoxicating and sweet tasting. Wearing orange is fun and can make you feel quite playful. Because of its highly-charged intensity some people cannot comfortably wear this colour.

5. 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. And if pastel colours don't suit you try on something in bright fuchsia. You'll feel pretty in pink.

6. 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 want to blend in among others as you go about your business. The colour purple, especially shades of violet, will definitely make a statement. If it is your desire to feel special and unique then purple is the right color choice.

7. Wearing Red - Powerful and Confident

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.

8. 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 can offer a fresh and bright outlook.

9. Wearing Yellow - Cheerful and Happy

Yellow is the perfect colour 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.
