Dressing Happy

Between seasonal depression and the pandemic roller coaster, it’s important to dress happy using color psychology. While superficial, the colors you wear can greatly affect your mood. I find that I feel most happy and energetic when I wear bright, cheery colors and patterns. Heck, we can’t control many things in life, but we can put on a yellow polka dot headband and find a reason to smile for ourselves and those around us.

Color Psychology

This concept of colors influencing mood, emotions, and behaviors is very real, and it’s known as “color psychology” (Source: Very Well Mind). Each color on the wheel evokes different feelings, good and bad. If you’re curious here’s a quick breakdown of what each color represents:

  • White: Innocence | Purity | Cleanliness
  • Red: Power | Passion | Love | Anger | Danger
  • Green: Nature | Growth | Tranquility
  • Blue: Trust | Calm | Authentic
  • Yellow: Joy | Energy | Attention
  • Orange: Enthusiasm | Stimulation
  • Purple: Magical | Royalty | Creativity | Wisdom
  • Pink: Feminity | Youth | Optimism | Tenderness
  • Black: Formality | Mystery | Authority | Stability | Death

With “color psychology” in mind, fashion truly can make a statement. My yellow polka dot headband adds a burst of joy and fresh energy to my otherwise bland and neutral outfit.

Aside from the headband, which I’m adding details about in the next section, I’ve added a special ‘colorful and happy’ list on my new Amazon storefront. This list is filled with fashion pieces that are sure to bring you joy!

The Headband

More details about my beloved headband since it’s not an Amazon find – it’s $16.00 from Good & Well Boutique, a small family-owned business carrying products made in the USA. One very cool and unique feature of this headband is the bendable wire on the inside of the fabric. The wire allows you to mold the accessory around your head (no headaches!) and twist the top as you like. If you’re not a fan of yellow, the headband comes in other colors and prints!
