Color My Wall, Color My Wardrobe

[caption id="attachment_1664" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Color My Wall, Color My Wardrobe..!"]Color My Wall and Wardrobe - The Impact of Color in My World[/caption] How does color impact your life, or conversely, how does the lack of color impact your world? So many of us are wearing basic black for one reason or another - to minimize curves, to achieve a classy, classic, or dressy look, to simplify wardrobe decisions or all of the above. Wearing black is popular, not only to high stylers, but also serves as a default to us bodacious ladies seeking to achieve a trimmer effect. How about your walls? Is there a difference in how you use color to jazz up your living space than how you decorate your bod? For many, the answer to that is yes, there is a distinct difference. No matter what the answer to your questions above, if you *do* love color and want more of it on your walls and in your wardrobe, we have the answer to both..! For every piece of wearable art we have designed here, there is a painting behind it. So far, the following paintings have found their own self expression in a silk scarf.. "Champagne Dreams" "Firecracker Love" "Midnight Ocean" "Ocean Swell" "Patchwork Sky" "Summer Daze" Let us know your fav image from Sheryl Brown Art that you would like to see in a scarf, and we'll make it happen..! Just check the Galleries to see all the various images, and don't forget to like us on Facebook too ;) www.facebook.com/SherylBrownArt So with all of the above in consideration, it begs the question, do you have enough color in your life? How does it feel to you to be missing more color in what you wear? Do you feel a lack of oomph? Do you feel too sober, dull or blah? Add your comments below, and let's talk..!

Sheryl,

A few things that come to mind for me from the “male perspective.” One is that times have changed with the onset of “metro sexual” where many men dare to wear those colors that were considered “feminine,” so I think the color lines have blurred between men and women a little more in recent years.

However, I would say that stereotypically, men tend to be less color conscious, or when they think color they may focus less on mood and more on influence. For example a business man may wear a power suit and gravitate towards particular basic colors and patterns, while looking at which pieces will make the right statement about what they are wearing.

Another thing to consider is how this relates to the laws of attraction. Commonly and in the case of animals, females tend to be more colorful, so they can attract a mate. So, I wonder if we pick and choose colors based on who we want to attract in our lives, or in general how open we feel to the world around us? That’s my two cents.

For myself, I try to mix it up as much as possible. Not wear the same or similar colors or patterns from one day to the next. My Mom and older Sister taught me how to dress well, so I often hear their words of advice in my subconscious when I’m deciding what to wear for the day. Ultimately, I think it’s about taking the time to recognize and remind yourself about how colors influence us, to then keep this in mind when we put them on our selves and drape them across our surroundings.

Sincerely,

Scott Spicer

Great thoughts, Scott.. And very conscious too, I might add ;) I think influence is one aspect of consciousness, as well as mood being another. I really appreciate the time you took to put this deeper level of thinking into words..! I’ll be checking in with hubby too, on his thoughts on what you’ve said.. Great to have more male voice here!
