Color Me Happy!
Ever walk into work on a Monday morning and wonder why some people seem to be having a unusually positive day, despite the fact that it’s Monday, and it’s morning? Ever felt envious because life just seems to be treating them so much better? Next time that happens, take a look to see what they are wearing. Is it an all-black, borderline funeral-ready ensemble? Probably not.
Color Therapy expert, Constance Hart says, “Color has an effect on our psyche; it’s always affecting us whether we are aware of it or not.”
Here at Danice, we love COLOR! A bright outfit can make for an even brighter day, even when Mother Nature doesn’t want to agree with you. A little color never hurt nobody; in fact, it probably helps in more ways than you think!
Vogue.com says, “Keeping things colorless is easy.” It’s true! The grays and blacks that occupy valuable space in your closet are making it hard for the periwinkles and fuchsias to make their appearance.
You have to be knowledgeable about which colors look best with your skin tone and body shape, but no one should have to feel pressured to dress drab.
According to Hart, here’s what four different colors mean when you wear them:
- Burgundy: This will make you feel stable, grounded and centered. “The rich shade also helps you to make decisions.”
Orange: This color helps you get out of your shell and allows you to become more social. “It is the best color for helping you adapt to change.”
- Green: Green helps to create balance between yourself and those around you. According to Hart, it is a “bridge color.”
- Pink & Yellow: The color pink correlates to love and kindness, and yellow is a “joy ray.” “It stimulates mental clarity, giving you the ‘I can do anything and be myself’ attitude.”
Try these energetic shades the next time you feel like you need a little pick-me-up. We guarantee you’ll forget the fact that it’s Monday, and soon, you’ll be the one people envy for your upbeat spirit and positivity!

Timeless Trends: Leggings
Love your legs? Let them know!
Ever wonder why trends like leggings never seem to go out of style? Their comfort, casualness and ease make them the go-to garment for endless occasions. Whether you’re a simple gal looking for a solid pair to run errands in or you’re looking to make a statement with fun colors and patterns, you can’t go wrong with a little spandex in your wardrobe.
Here are 4 ways that leggings can accentuate your everyday looks:
1. Layering
These high-waist riding leggings are perfect for layering. When you add more to the look, the outfit becomes more complete. Instead of just a tank, throw on a blazer to make the look more sophisticated.
2. Longer Tops
This trick is essential for those who want to camouflage their hips, thighs or butt. Make the top more loose to add the same effect to your waist. Who knew spandex could be so slimming!?
3. Sassy Shoes
Love the look of long legs? Add a pair of pumps to your everyday leggings (or jeggings like the one above). You’ll effortlessly achieve a taller, sleeker look. Try this with boots during the colder months.
4. Color-Blocking
This incorporates two timeless trends in one! Creating a color-block illusion on your legs accentuates the parts that look good, and hide the parts that don’t. Got great calves? Add a pop of color on your lower legs. Wanna highlight those hips? A strip of hot pink will do just the trick.
Next time you spot of a pair of leggings on a rack, just think of the possibilities they have in spicing up your everyday look!
