Some are afraid to wear striking shades for fear of attracting attention or standing out a little too much, but it’s time to get that notion out of your system.
Fashion may say many things, but more importantly, colours, most of them at least, are proven mood boosters.
They can lift your spirits and spread a little joy to those around you too.
Wearing vibrant tones like red, orange and yellow instantly fuels feelings of confidence, vitality and boundless energy.
