Color yourself happy...

I have never really agreed with the whole idea of wearing only certain colors (am I a winter? a summer? whatever!). I do wholeheartedly believe, however, that certain colors can change the way you feel about yourself and can affect your mood. Pale blue is a great color for your bedroom, as it is calming and tranquil. A yellow kitchen is always cheerful, and greens tend to make us feel at one with nature. The same principles go for the clothes we wear. We all have a favorite item in our wardrobe that always makes us feel happy, and chances are, it’s a bright color.

Here is a little “color therapy” insight on the top colors to brighten your day.

Orange is fun, playful, and full of energy. It makes a great accent color as well, and can add real punch to an all white outfit. White is the promise of a new beginning. Toss on a new white t-shirt or blouse and you will feel like you are starting the day with a clean slate. Yellow has the same healing qualities as a sunny day. Wearing all shades of yellow will cheer you up and make you feel more happy.

This year, most of us can use a little help in the happy department. Lotus to the rescue – we are packed with bright colors right now. Especially wonderful are the tees and dresses from JWLA. Soft cotton, bright colors, and fun embroidery. We get new deliveries in all the time, so stop in or shop online. Or give us a call – we would love to chat!
