Look on the Bright Side!





Waking up to the beautiful California sunshine over the past few days has been great! Seeing the bright sun and blue skies always puts me in a better mood. However, you don't have to depend on the weather this spring to take advantage of feeling great, just add it to your wardrobe! Its true, wearing bright colors is indeed a way to enhance your mood. From bright yellows and oranges, to bright pinks and blues, they each have a different effect on you as well as the people you come in contact with. This is usually not something your cognizant of, still you can begin to recognize the difference color creates. Now this does not mean to begin to fill your closet with matching bright suits, however by adding even small pops of color, as with your accessories, can help. Here are a few characteristics and examples of this season's hottest color trends:

Yellow: attention grabber, optimistic, inspiring


Orange: bold, energizing


Pink: romantic, happiness, calming

Blue: relaxing, serene


Purple: creative, royalty, sophistication













So next time you're in an especially great (or not so great) mood, take a moment to see what colors you're wearing as well as the colors surrounding you... you might surprise yourself!

  1. Hi Shanae,

    Your post is short, sweet, and true. And it also have a bit of psychology behind it. I always find myself happier and less stress when I wear bright and light colors.

    I really like the layout and color of your blog. It makes a clear statement of what you will be writing on.

    From your intro, I think it would be great that you are connecting the fields of psychology and fashion together. You can help make the world a more happy place, through just how we dress ourselves.

    Maybe you can put up some outfits you think should be popular during the upcoming season, and have the person wearing the outfit benefit from each piece.

  2. I agree, people need to get some bright colors. The world is so mellow and dark, everyone wearing black and blue all the time. Yellow is amazing! Need a take a trip to the mall to get some nice bright colors to brighten everyone's day.

  5. I like the colors but I don't think I can pull off bright colors. Whenever I try on clothing with bright colors, I feel as though the colors don't look right on me. I'll probably try bright colors with accessories but sometimes I feel like the colors clash.

  6. I love the blue and the purple, too bad I can't pull off bright colors though. I just like looking at them, but I don't really own any bright colors in my closet, heh. But yeah I notice when people are wearing bright colors, it is more jolly and joyful :)
