Take your right for Bright

How many times do we refuse going for bright colours in favour of monochromes when we’re shopping? I for one recently have been choosing greys, nudes or black shades of everything, and it didn’t matter whether it was clothing or accessories, or even my pen. Occasionally, not long ago, when I was choosing a Bella Freud jumper – just to cheer up my mood for upcoming warm weather – I decided to ask my husband’s opinion which one to choose – black or grey “rockers” jumper. Surprisingly for me, he pointed on a bright pop-pink-coloured jumper – the one that wasn’t even on my “checklist”- substantiating his choice by constant fatigue of my achromatism in everyday life. At first, I was amazed of how possibly he could imagine me, wearing such colour. A second later, I asked myself – “What the heck, why not? “

A few minutes later I was combining this “bright treasure” with almost everything from my wardrobe in my head realising what a great impact it does to my mood. So this moment was the start point of my “bright-coloured” love story.

Then, I discovered that there is so much more that rainbow could bring you, apart from being just a colour, it changes your attitude, mood. You start noticing things that you would never pay attention to before. It somehow changes you in a good way. I noticed myself feeling more confident when wearing certain bright colours.

 

I discovered some old purple shoes that I bought about 10 years ago (thought that it was my big fashion mistake and being not brave enough to show off them before) are my favourites now. I’ve also noticed that fabric quality looks better when it’s bright-coloured.

 

I’ve gone even further with my “pop-eyed-colour” obsession playing with some stickers for my notebook and phone, earphones etc. I know, it may sound a bit childish, but may be to be childish in a right way can bring some happiness, at least for a while?
