How does the color of our fashion changes the way we feel?
Colors are always influencing us in subtle ways. One of the simplest ways to elevate your mood with style is to choose pieces of clothing with colors that make you feel good. This is pretty easy to investigate on your own – go into your closet and grab a shirt, dress, skirt, or anything else. Hold it up to yourself in the mirror and ask yourself how that color makes you feel. Does it make you feel good, empowering, depressing, energized?
Everything on this planet emits an energy that can be perceived, and that goes for style as well. In my Guide to Styling Your Aura, I talk a lot about how and when to use certain colors in order to not only support yourself but also project the energy you want others to perceive. For example, red is an incredibly powerful color that can not only improve our performance in sports (and in between the sheets) but also communicates a dominating presence, which is perfect during a high-profile meeting when you need to make an impression.
…there is also make-up, for example nail polish or lipstick – Are there similar effects?
While I mostly focus on supportive styling through clothing, accessories and make-up can play a huge role in supporting aura energy. A swipe of blue eyeliner can support a calmer outlook, and the pop of a bold red lipstick will leave you feeling empowered and sexy. Or, my personal favorite, sparkle eyeshadow. Is there really a better way to uplift your mood and energy than with sparkles?!
Applying color medicinally to our lives is truly an integrated process. The way in which we combine colors and see them holistically in our style, makeup, and even in our home life can really have an incredibly profound impact on our aura energy.
How do you curate a wardrobe?
One of the biggest misconceptions about dressing your aura is that people will think I’ll tell them just to wear a certain color in order to support their energy. That’s such a small part of what it actually is!
Once I’ve had a full reading with a client, I’m able to assess how their aura can best be supported through style.
I love pointing my clients towards specific designers with style profiles I feel particularly capture their aura energy. I take into account prints and patters, garment structures, and materials – all of these things influence style and energy! For my personal shopping service, I will also hand-pick specific pieces that will support their aura energy and intention.
