Showing The Love in Your Valentine's Day Look... Yay or Nay?

2/9/2019

Oh Valentine's Day!  For some, it's a magical day full of dancing unicorns spreading the energy of love like pixie dust.  And for others, love magic is the last thing on their mind.  Which one are you?  Or are you somewhere in between?  You've heard me say it before, "the way you dress, the colors you wear, affect the way you think, feel, act and then how others react or respond to you," according to Judith Rasband AICI CIM.  Which means that color communicates first to you, the person wearing the color, then to others.  So when Thursday rolls around, and you go to get dressed, because wearing clothes is a good idea, which color are you going to choose?  The colors that say, (A) I'm not feeling the love and I don't want to feel the love, (B) Ooh la la magic is in the air, or (C) life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get.

A - You’re not feeling the love and don’t wanna feel the love.  It happens!  When you're feeling kinda blue, wearing dark blue, dark purple and grays can reinforce the somber mood.   Cool colors can make you feel, well cool.  These colors may communicate the following messages:
  • blue:  cold, depressing, lonely, introvert also calming, clean, loyal, logical
  • gray:  guarded, gloomy, rigid, reserved
  • black:  morbid, death, funeral, drama and can also be sexy and seductive

B - On the other hand, if you are feeling the love, and want to show it in your clothes, warm colors will generally do the trick.
This is what the “love” colors may be saying…
  • pink:  gentle, tender, warm
  • red: love, passion, romance, sex, warm, also energy, power, combat, fire
  • rich chocolate brown:  delicious, rich, more approachable than black​
Speaking of chocolates, you may be somewhere in between A and B. ​

C - “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get,” Forest Gump.  If you want to tell yourself and others that you have a lovely outlook on life, but you’re not about to look like a cheesy Hallmark card try this:
  • Add red or pink as an accent to softer neutrals like navy, brown or gray.
  • Wear the darker, duller version of warm hues.  Deep rose and burgundy, for example are warm colors, but more subtle than red.
  • Although the focus here is on color, patterns with rounded shapes, such as hearts, paisleys, florals, may also communicate a subtle heart-warming message. ​
Try these colors on a formal date, casual dinner out, an active date, or even breakfast in bed and notice how they influence your mood. ​ To know your absolute best colors, the ones that make your eyes light up, hair shine, and give your skin a healthy pinkish hue, try my Couples Color Session - on sale the month of February.
