Once you start to wear more color, it's hard to go back. However, it is a balancing act. There are few ways to incorporate color and still look chic. I got some ideas on how to do that!
How I Started Wearing ColorMy love of color started about fifth grade. That’s when I decided to be a "punk rocker" every Halloween. I went to a parochial school and had to wear a uniform. Additionally, myself and my siblings were three of the four students of color, who were black. So, I stood out. I figured that I might as well double down on being unique. This costume would do the trick.
Let me tell you why this was my go to costume. First, that was the only day that my mom would let me I wear makeup! Second, I still hadn’t figured out how to do my hair yet. So, I jumped at the opportunity to wear a wig. Lastly, I could wear whatever I wanted. It felt so liberating!
I packed on some Wet n' Wild and my mom's makeup. Then, I threw on colorful combos like yellow stirrup leggings, a multi-colored sweatshirt, and a rainbow wig.
The costume would vary each year but the spirit remained the same. An interesting sight to see, I am sure. Luckily, I grew out that. But, I still like wearing color. Enough about me and rainbow wigs. Let’s talk about why you should consider more color in your life.
Why Wear Color?I like to wear color for a few reasons. Color can add a little pep in your step. It's a way to shine bright in a sea of neutrals. Additionally, it speaks for you and says "I'm here". Likewise, combining colors in different ways brings new life to outfits. It can communicate confidence. It gives a space for creativity. It's ageless.
“Still, colors undoubtedly have an effect on our emotions and how we perceive others and the world around us”
Source: Popsugar It’s Ok to be SeenI have ideas on why I think some women won't wear color. Deep down inside, in my opinion, a lot of us are still hung up on what people think. The fear is that we will look silly. We don't want to look like we are "trying too hard". Moreover, we don't want to look like we have imposter syndrome.
Dime en EspañolI am starting something new where each post will have a quick blurb on the topic in Spanish. If you follow my Instagram, you already noticed that my captions are bilingual. Something new I am exploring to grow as blogger.
