I have recently fallen in love with a gorgeous, drop waist, tennis dress from Zara...that is bright orange! I'm talking straight of out the Crayola box orange. It's bold and it's unlike anything I own. Sadly I'm not sure if this beautiful dress will become a part of my wardrobe due to my finances, but a girl can dream.
The orange dress is what inspired this post...
Unless you've been living under a rock or in the Unabomber shack, you may have noticed that this summer is all about bright, bold colour. My wardrobe is predominantly black and gray (what they're New York staples) but, I have been trying to make a real effort to add more colour. Don't get me wrong I really do love colour, but getting dressed in the early morning for work, sometimes it's easier for my brain to just grab a black dress and cardi. However I always (and I do mean always) have a bold coloured scarf on me to add in that pop of colour.
I can't help but be drawn to colour right now. I don't know if it's due to it being Summer, if I'm sick of my current wardrobe choices or if it's because every shop I go into colour is staring me in the face. Either way I like it! I also like the current colour blocking trend that is going on at the moment, but I'm not sure if I personally am ready for that much colour at one time. Baby steps for Jean :)
With that being said, nothing makes a statement more than bright colour, whether that colour be in your clothing, accessories, makeup or maybe even your hair. Colour is amazing!
On another note, I am a firm believer that colour can really have an effect on your mood (check out these links about this: Colour Psychology and Effect of Colour on Mood) and with the crazy "Summer" weather we have been having here in London I think adding some bright colours into your wardrobe can really help beat that dull, gray weather!
