Colour Your World | #24 Pantone Pink Yarrow

Colour is such a tonic isn’t it? It brightens up the dullest of days and definitely forms the largest part of my wardrobe.

I’ve never been one of the chic, black brigade;

I’ve tried — in vain — to be dark and interesting.

But it’s just not me; I always end up feeling drab and dull.

Funnily enough, I wrote a couple of years ago about my love of colour and print, in fashion.

I used to dither about what colours suited me but then one of my best girlfriends and I had our colours done and it magically transformed the way I felt about shopping for clothes. One of the best things EVER.

Knowing what colours to wear makes it much, much easier to find things that suit you. And — in a weird way – it totally took the stress out of shopping as I had a clearer idea of what I should be looking for.

I soon began to gravitate towards the colours that I knew worked well for my skin tone and, as a result, now have a wardrobe full of colour.

One of my faves is hot pink. Or in the world of Pantone ‘Pink Yarrow’.

Now I know that this shade isn’t everyone’s cuppa but even if you add a bright slash of lipstick or a cheeky hot pink animal print into the mix, you’ll be cheered to see that vibrant pop of colour.

Here are my fave picks of the moment.

Not sure that I’d wear it all together, mind you.

(I definitely wouldn’t, just to set the record straight)

but a little pop of this bright beautiful shade — here and there — would be a very welcome sight indeed on a grey day.

And as we’re moving into Autumn there are definitely going to be more of those on the horizon.

So here’s to pink yarrow, fuchsia, hot pink, magenta — whatever you want to label it.

Flying the flag for colour lovers everywhere and bringing a little bit of tropical heat to our winter wardrobe. I salute you, in all your magical pinkness!
