What's Your Color?

Colors have always been a tricky thing to master. Some colors look great on others and disgusting on me. One day I can rock a dress that makes me look wonderfully bronzed while other colors make me look miserably washed out. I've always asked my trusted "advisors" for their opinions, but what happens when your friends are unavailable via picture message before you leave the house?? Don't worry, I got you covered! Keep this in mind the next time you go shopping solo or need to make an "educated" decision at home!

Color Your Feelings

Remember that colors can evoke certain feelings from those around you, so wear accordingly!

Black. Black is the color of authority and power. While it can make you appear to be thinner, it also can achieve a look that is aloof or evil. Pair with some bright accessories and go easy on the eyeliner to keep the look upbeat.

White. White signifies innocence and purity. Also, white can be associated with sterility or cleanliness.

Red. Red stimulates a faster heartbeat and breathing. Also the color of love, red can make the wearer appear heavier. This is an "extreme" color and is not necessarily helpful in negotiations or confrontations, but is attention grabbing!

Blue. Studies have shown that blue produces calming, tranquil, and peaceful chemicals in the body. While the color can be associated with depression and thought to be "cold", many researchers recommend wearing blue to job interviews as it represents loyalty. Also, tests have concluded that workers are more productive in blue rooms.

Green. Green is associated with nature and proven to be the easiest color on the eye. It is thought to be calming and refreshing. Thought to be conservative, green also symbolizes wealth and fertility.

Yellow. Yellow is an attention grabbing and optimistic color. However, studies have shown that people more often lose their tempers in yellow rooms and babies will cry more. Yellow is the most difficult color for the eye to take in, however, it speeds your metabolism and enhances concentration.

Purple. This color connotates luxury, wealth, and sophistication. It is the color of royalty and thought to be feminine and romantic.

Brown. Brown is the basic earth color and can bring forth feelings of genuineness. The color is also said to be sad and wistful.
