Do you know what the colours you wear say about you? Here are some outfits styled by fashion expert Janielle Mckoy — who shows us how to use colours to channel certain moods.
Look #1 – Red & Pink
When you think of red, you most likely link it to love, romance, and passion. If you love wearing red dresses, it indicates that you are someone who is energetic, strong-willed, passionate, a touch aggressive, and outspoken.
If you find red over-powering, pink would be a great option. The colour pink and femininity are tied together. Pink denotes that you have a soft, comforting, and affectionate personality. If your wardrobe has more than a handful of pink dresses and apparel in various hues and styles, you are someone who values kindness and comfort above everything else.
