My Love for Bright Colors.
Some mornings when I would walk into my office, one of my colleagues at the office would say.
“Thank You for lighting up the room on this dreary cold winter day”
I have a bright orange jacket that I like to wear sometimes to work or anywhere for that matter.
I love wearing bright colors or colors in general.
When I came to Canada, I noticed most people would wear black or neutral colors.
And when I went to buy clothes at the stores, I could only find 2 options: Black or some variation of Neutral. Cardigans were also neutral soft colors.
I found this depressing. It is already grey outside most of -Jan and Feb and to compound on it, I can only buy similar colors.
That is not fair, I should have the option for brighter shades.
So now, as soon as I see a nice bright-colored something, I buy one.
I remember I bought this beautiful fuschia trench coat, wore it once, and was doing groceries. It was hot, so I removed the jacket and kept it in the cart. Went around the aisle to pick some things, came back and it was gone.
P**f.
Yes, I was deep down depressed for many days when I realized I am not seeing it again.
Well, that tells you there is a lot of demand for bright colors.
I don’t hate black and neutrals but why miss out on a whole spectrum of colors that is hard for me to digest.
I also come from a culture where we celebrate everything in the brightest of colors. I think it is ingrained in my DNA.
I have now started to incorporate neutrals in my collection for variety’s sake but, my heart is always looking for nice beautiful colors. 😍.
