Greyish Blue

by Jordan Blackwell | May 7, 2015 | Outfits | 20 comments

I won’t lie, sometimes I struggle with how to wear color. Sometimes I find it overwhelming but honestly every time I wear color it always brightens up my mood as opposed to my typical neutrals. It’s amazing what adding a simple dash of color, or multiple pops, can do for your attitude. A color can transform not only how you feel but how others feel towards you, isn’t that crazy? Who would’ve thought you could appear more approachable, powerful, or creative simply by the color you wear, I could’ve used that in high school and probably have been one of the popular kids…or not. This is definitely an important concept for both everyday style and corporate garb alike because knowing what color evokes particular emotions can help you to better express yourself to those around you. The emotions that the colors from my outfit might trigger are:

Grey is often thought of as timeless and practical
Blue can convey calmness, loyalty, serenity, wisdom, cold or uncaring, truthful, and focused
Brown can evoke reliability and stability, friendship, warmth, comfort, naturalness or organic
Green is seen as natural, cool, growth, health, money, envy, tranquility and harmony
Orange (in my nail polish) expresses happiness, optimism, warmth, intensity, attention-getting, frustration or anger

Many people take for granted the power that wearing color can have on their look. Even the smallest touch can make all the difference from boring to unique or bland to bold. At the end of the day it’s all about how your clothes make you feel and that they convey the message that you are trying to share with the world!

  I am the same way Robin, I usually don’t like to go over board with too much color, just a hint. Thanks for sharing!

I love to wear blue. It’s my favorite color, so it always makes me happy. Plus, I tend to get more compliments when I wear blue because it brings out the color of my eyes. So that’s always nice! Love that green clutch. Thanks for sharing at the #HomeMattersParty 🙂

  Brittany I’m totally jealous, I’ve always wished I had blue eyes! My father’s favorite color is blue also, I never used to be a fan until recently. Glad you came on by!
