Color!

We are going to dive right into the rainbow today, Girls!

Personally, I love color. And I know a lot of Big Girls out there are afraid of color.
And I'm going to tell you this right now, it doesn't make any sense to blend in!

Ever since I have embraced myself and my size I have been liberated from the black, white and gray wardrobe of my younger years.

And I am set out to liberate you too!

Color is an amazing thing. It shows off your personality, your individuality, and it shows that you are a person who is going to go out and been seen, and not sit back in the background unnoticed.

Every color is important. Remember "roygbiv" from grade school? You need these colors in your closet.

Now you do have some rules for color, though.
They are simple common sense though.

Rule 1- Black and brown does not go together! Ever!
It just doesn't work.

Rule 2- If you wear a colorrful top, don't wear colorful pants with it.
If you wear an all red outfit, 9 times out of 10 people will think you are a walking advertisement for tomatoes. This goes for any outfit. I remember one Halloween I took my niece and nephew trick-or-treating and I dressed up like a raver, in all orange. All night people thought I was a pumpkin. It is a good thing to break up the color.

Rule 3- You can still wear black!
Wearing black is not a no-no. You can add color to your outfit with accessories.
Belts, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and of course a fabulous handbag.
Also, I find that wearing a simple colorful jacket, can make a neutral outfit shine.

Rule 4- When you are matching shoe color, use the color of your top, not your pants.
By having your shoes match your top, it ties everything together. You have no loose ends and you look completed. If you don't have a corresponding shoe to your top color try to find a coordinating color. And if all else fails, black shoes go with everything. Yes, black shoes!

Rule 5- Consider your skin tone
Some colors look better on different skin tones. Try on some colors and see how they look with your skin tone. If it washes out your skin, put it back and try something else. There are colors out there for everyone. The sky is the limit.

Rule 6- Use your imagination!
Some people are scared of color, I know. It can be a scary thing when you are used to wearing very neutral colors all the time. But when you decide to spice up your wardrobe, think outside the box. Try some colors you never thought about wearing. They may look awesome on you.




Don't be afraid of color Big Girls! Don't stand in the shadows anymore. Tell the world who you are, and show it off!! Be proud of who you are, claim it, and work it.
And as always, try it on before you buy it. Color is a good thing but if you hate the particular color then try something else.
