Recruit had an article on image pertaining to job interviews, which was written by Elaine Heng. She included a column on colour symbolism and I would like to share with you the colours which influence my fashion choices.
I have included bright colours in my wardrobe, which create a contrast to the light and basic colours I have in there as well. I am now open to yellow and orange tops. I feel that yellow especially, puts me in a happy mood. I've never liked red though. I find it too glaring though it can be paired with black to tone its brightness down. I've a black gypsy skirt but it can be rather formal and cumbersome. I seldom wear it as a result. I usually limit black to either bottoms or dresses. Besides the black pants which are versatile and have a slimming effect on my legs, I have a black dress which has a special significance to me. I have never bought another one.
Funnily enough, my taste in fashion has gone through a rather tremendous change with age and even Yianlin was astounded at it. Hehe. Instead of being inclined towards more practical designs and colours in their classic nature, as my age accords me to, I have deviated towards girly, sweet and feminine clothes. I'm not trying to look younger here but I just like clothes like this. I can't even figure out when my tastes had changed but I actually have been in this phase for a long while. :)
My all-time favourites are blue, white and mint green. My Christmas outfits are usually made up of these colours. Blue is very soothing while white represents purity. I do have brown tops but somehow I think I look dreary in them. I have gray and lilac in my wardrobe too. Thank you for reading my colourful tale of Fashion in my Closet!
