It’s getting to be summerish, don’t you think?  As you transition from one season to the next, you may want to consider the color choices in your closet.  Dark colors are fine but if we wear them all the time, it may negatively influence how we feel. People who are experts in Chi / energy tell us that choosing to wear dark clothing can influence whether we are optimistic or pessimistic, happy or depressed.

That’s enough for me to think about wearing lighter, softer colors more often.  Experts in the subject also tell us that wearing the same colors consistently can keep us stuck while wearing a variety of colors can move us forward or even elevate our Chi / mood.

So, what does this have to do with your closet making you happy?

Your probably already know what colors invite compliments when you wear them. It may not be your favorite color but something about that color speaks to others in a good way. Think about the clothes that make you feel good when wearing them. Are they comfortable? Pretty? Make a statement? Make you feel like your authentic self. You may think, “This is so me!”.  Now is the time to move those clothes to the front of your closet, so those are the pieces you wear the most.

I’d even go so far as to say you should get rid of anything in your closet that doesn’t feel just as good wearing it. Most of us have way too much in our closet anyway and will realistically never wear half of what we have in there. It feels so much better to open the door to a closet with lots of space that’s easy to navigate and has ALL of our favorite items in it.

Have you noticed there are lots of floral designs this season? From sundresses to evening gowns, I see flowers. And I LOVE them. I was taught not to wear flowers because they make you look “as big as a house.” But, that was a long time ago. Times have changed, and we are learning to be more comfortable with who we are and what we like. It doesn’t matter what other people think. It only matters that you are happy and feel good about yourself. Flowers of all sizes communicate freshness, energy, beauty, nature and just make you feel good. Hummm…I think it’s time to go shopping!
