THE POWER OF COLOUR

BY FELPHAM FASHION GURU VICKY BOOKER

Colour is a powerful thing. It can make us look and feel healthier and more energised. It gives us messages about what something’s about – even without words. And it can affect the impact we have and how others see us. So why do many of us end up wearing black or neutral tones, and shying away from colour? It can be down to confidence; we all have the go-to black dress when we’re feeling less than supermodellike! It can be linked to our mood – how happy and energised do we feel when we see that golden yellow sunshine? Or it could be down to good old practicality – white trousers on a dog walk or the school run anyone?!

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not ‘dissing’ black. I’m not saying don’t wear it. It has a place; it serves a purpose; it can be practical; it can be a ‘wow’ colour on some people; it can have impact and give gravitas to the wearer; it’s always in ‘fashion’. But why ignore the hundreds and thousands of other colours, shades and tones?

Ultimately, we can wear whatever colour we like, but when we wear our best colours, our skin will appear smoother and clearer, with less shadows, our eye colour is enhanced, and people will notice US more than what we’re wearing. It’s easy to get a bit of colour into your wardrobe without dressing head to toe in pink or orange! A scarf, shoes, handbag, or piece of jewellery can be a great way of injecting a pop of colour over a neutral outfit.

Often, we’re naturally drawn to the colours that suit us, but it can save time and money when you really understand your best colours and how to find them in the shops. A colour analysis session gives you the knowledge, advice and confidence to go out and find your colours in the shops and how to wear them. It’s a fun, informative and inspirational!

So how do you feel about colour? Do you love it? Do you embrace it? Does it strike fear into your heart?! Be brave, experiment and of course –get your colours ‘done’!

My Confident Colour session is a great way to understand the shades that light you up and how to wear them.

As a special offer for our readers, I’m offering 10% off a colour session until 31 August 2023 –simply quote Felpham in Focus when booking.
