Play: How I Use #Colour in My #Wardrobe (and some hand-picked options!)

Published by

Colour is absolutely fundamental to my fashion wardrobe, my design mentality and visual inspirations. It is the first thing I notice when I go shopping, very shortly followed by texture and feel. I always think about colour/fabric palettes, and how well one goes with the other even when unconsciously dressing oneself in the morning. My mind is able to make an instinctive decision somehow, when it comes to wear. There is always at least one pop of colour and so below are ways to incorporate different quantities of colour in as little as a lipstick or as much as a coat. Dare to try I say, you only live once.

Before I had gone to sleep, I had roughly watched the vote counts whilst our shares and currency plummeted globally. I felt like I was watching a horror movie unfold, a dark cloud whisking above my head. But as numbers were still early, I had hope that many voted Remain just as I had and that we could somehow outweigh Leave – even just by a little. It was opposite – had people lost their minds?
