Colors for Clothing Success

Believe it or not, the color of our clothes we choose to wear everyday affect our mood. The color of our clothes can even affect us physically. Have you ever noticed restaurants years ago decorated with a lot of the orange color? It's because the color orange promotes feelings of hunger. Restaurants used this color in the hopes that their patrons would purchase more food than they intended, hence more money for the restaurant.

Accenting our clothing with certain accessories can also have an affect on our mood and performance throughout the day. For men, a yellow tie can contribute to concentration. For women, a purple scarf can increase mental clarity. Light blue and turquoise jewelery can improve communication. A red brooch to project dynamism and leadership. For a celebration, deep purple, navy, or magenta can improve energy levels. In an exercise class, reds,blues, and whites help power you up for action. For a end of the day event, such as night school, wear the colors green or blue to promote growth. For just relaxing around the house wear blue, it brings a sense of peace and mental clarity. Purple instills spiritual peace, green promotes balance in your life and turquoise surrounds you with a sense of calmness.

The colors we choose to wear from day to day can make us or break us. Here are some ideas on what to wear and when to wear... Or not.

• Red is for stability, don't wear red if you have high blood pressure.
• Green is for those days when you can't seem to sit still. Avoid green if you are experiencing boredom or lethargy.
