Tomato

Day Four of the Black Out Challenge

This weeks weather in Perth has turned into windy, rainy but still warm. 

So I have managed to work the outfits I had planned, but have admittedly gotten a little blown away.

Thank goodness for navy trousers and my vintage denim jacket to cover up and change as the weather does. 

I love this tomato tee from Sass and Bide, I never know if I can pull it off, but it feels like it works with this creamy short, white, silver and neon touches. I love these colours, red, yellow, orange, they are so cheerful and strong. I think I would actually pair them mostly with blue tones, a la the impressionists.

Colour Meanings

Day Four

Red:

The colour red seems to mean vastly different things to people in a lot of different cultures. A lot of these things are also rather condtradictory. I think for me, I take it that given this colour stirs up so much, what is conclusive, is that it is one of the strongest colours.
Red cancels out green, in that, your eye will automatically be drawn to something red over green.
It is a symbol of love, anger, temperament, prosperity, joy, passion, warmth, energy, enthusiasm, action and power. To wear it is bold and empassioned. It is one of the most favoured colours of men, although with women it is often linked to sex appeal. It is practical, and relates to the heart.
I learned early on that throwing on a red lipstick boosts your confidence, and also masks tiredness.

Yellow:

Yellow is one of the easiest colours to see, in particular, colour blind people often find it the easiest. Although the shade determines the meaning. Yellow is creative, intellectual, it is the colour of happiness. It is wise, in flowers a yellow daffodil symbolises unrequited love, and a yellow rose denotes friendship. It brings clarity, awareness, it relieves nervousness and affords clarity, sharper concentration and memory. It helps to relieve depression and exhaustion. It prompts confidence in expressing oneself. To wear yellow is cheerful and will help define your decisions.
As a kid I was obsessed with yellow and blue. I decorated my room in sunflowers, with yellow curtains and blue carpets. I think it stems from the feeling of happiness I get from looking at a Van Gogh painting. I can never shake it, his work fills me up with a kind of euphoria.
