As the days get shorter with less sunlight, our wardrobes often shift to darker colors. Our moods often get a bit darker. Cheer up a bit and wear bright colors instead of the typical grays and blacks.
The Freelancers Union has some suggestions on ways to bring more light into your day. You can start with your wardrobe.
This very morning, a friend's coral T-shirt caught my eye. When I complimented it, she said she's wearing fun colors to combat all the lame weather. How brilliant is that? People, you are not obligated to limit your color palette to the current season. Scientifically, bright colors are known to improve moods. Unscientifically, I'm always thrilled to see orange polka dots instead of another beige sweater.
We've talked about how color influences mood before, so skipping dark colors in your wardrobe isn't a huge stretch. This tip isn't a cure for the seasonal affective disorder. It's a simple and easy way to beat the monotony of the season.
