Yellow


Wednesday

Another tricky colour for me! I do love yellow though, it’s such a happy colour. I have a little bit of yellow that have hardly worn, I need to wear it with something dark like black or navy.
The day started out okay but ended up cold & wet so I had to put on pants and a thicker jumper (sweater) in the afternoon.

From the book “The Complete Style Guide” by Mary Spillane
YELLOW
Includes: Sunny, bright and banana versions, through to gold, but not pastel shades like lemon.
Psychological Power of Yellow
Positive: Cheerful, hopeful, active, uninhibited.
Negative: Impulsive, tiresome, whirlwind, volatile.
Wearing Yellow for Emotional & Physical Impact
• Too cheer yourself up, particularly on a dreary day.
• When in a fun mood.
• If working with children- it’s the colour they most prefer.
• If you want to stand out in a crowd.

When to avoid wearing Yellow
• When negotiating (e.g. a divorce settlement) as it has frivolous connotations.
• Anytime you need to be taken seriously.
