Me
When I chose to do Colour Psychology I did not realise the personal journey it would take me on.
My Mum passed away two years ago from Pancreatic Cancer. Mum was diagnosed with the cancer and died seven weeks later. Since her passing and only until recently all I was wore was Black. I love the colour black but I found out that wearing this colour does not really help with grief it actually suppresses your emotions.
Studying colour has taken me on an amazing journey and has really helped me emotionally deal with my grief. I can finally embrace wearing colour and it feels amazing. I feel my life is starting to turn around and there are new beginnings everywhere. (Yippee)
The pictures above are two dresses and a pair of shoes I bought. I thought the Maxi dress would be perfect for the beach and I wore the other with the shoes to a lunch on Saturday. The pretty little girls pink dress I bought for my gorgeous niece who turns 10 early January.
I highly recommend wearing colour and I will be able to differentiate what is in my wardrobe other than black!
Happy Monday!

You look lovely in colour and this season's colours are just filled with fabulosity don't you think! A nice way to emerge from your cocoon of grief I would say. Hugs to you, Nicolex
ReplyDeleteI think dressing in lovely colours definitely helps and makes us feel brighter Mimi :) That orange looks great on you :)

Orange is meant to be the colour of emotion isn't it? It looks vibrant, healthy and fantastic on you. Perfect for summer. Enjoy! ;-)
ReplyDeleteLove that colour, I love wearing vibrant colours, even in Winter!

You are SO pretty. Here we all hide behind our blogs and then up pops a photo of what you actually look like .. it's like you've been cheating!!! (hope that makes sense).
ReplyDeleteLoving that first dress. Must go back and check if you gave a link to where you bought it.
And lastly, but most importantly I am very very sorry that your mum is not with you anymore. Grief takes SO long to deal with (so many hidden things to deal with isn't there - not just losing the actual person) and so if you needed to wear black until your mind was clear, so be it. BUT bright colours do look lovely too and you can always reflect on the change's that you've made when you put those dresses on.
Good on you - and bestest wishes at christmas time.
That colour looks beautiful on you. I'm also a 'black' wearer, will have to try and be more adventurous. Also love the first dress, very nice for summer. x
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful post Mimi, just shows you the difference wearing a simple colour can do to you, glad to hear your doing good!
ReplyDeleteI love this colour an think it's the perfect colour boost!
Gorgeous dresses, you look lovely!
Thanks for sharing!

I am also a black wearer Mimi, I try to be conscious of buying colour as you are right when you say it makes you feel much better!
ReplyDeleteYou look absolutely stunning in orange, love your dresses.
Cheers
Beautiful colour on you Mimi. I agree with colour and mood. I am embracing colour these days like there is no tomorrow... in clothing! I'm still a bit of a neutral girl when it comes to interiors... just little pops of colour. So sorry about your darling Mum. A-M xx
ReplyDeleteHey, very nice site. I came across this on Google, and I am stoked that I did. I will definitely be coming back here more often. Wish I could add to the conversation and bring a bit more to the table, but am just taking in as much info as I can at the moment. Thanks for sharing.
