Be a Feng Shui Fashionista!

Here is some great insight on how colour affects our moods ... from Portland, Oregon-based guest blogger and Feng Shui expert Gwynne Warner 10,000 Blessings Feng Shui:

Gwynne says: Color has an extraordinary effect on our energy and emotions. Intentionally choosing the color of what you wear can be an easy way to attract auspicious chi and adjust or balance your own personal energy.

• To lift your spirits or enhance your energy, wear bright red, orange, yellow, turquoise, purple or gold.
• To boost your confidence and authority or close more sales, wear red.
• If you need to reduce stress, wear green.
• Wish to feel more stable and secure or slow down? Wear brown, deep gold or yellow or dark colors.
• Need to feel protected against negative or inauspicious chi? Wear red.
• When you need some good luck, wear red.
• To enhance your creative juices, try vibrant jewel-tone colors (pictured above) such as teal, turquoise, orange or purple.
• If you wish to attract prosperous and wealthy chi, then wear purple; green; gold; purple and gold or silver together; or red and gold together.
• If you feel like you need to "get it together" or keep track of details, wear white.
• To feel romantic or flirtatious or bring in a new lover or spouse, wear red, hot pink or peach (but don't wear peach if you're in a committed relationship or marriage).
• If you're doing marketing, promotions, presentations or auditioning or wish to have more fame or recognition wear red or purple.
• When you're sick or recovering from an illness, you can wear gold, green or white.
• When you wish to feel more powerful, wear any combination of gold, black or red.
• To help dissolve anger, wear pink.
• If you'd like to enhance your spiritual growth and meditation, wear purple or white.
• If you wish to exude mystery, seduction or elegance or feel like you want to command authority, wear black.
