Style File: Beat the Blues with Colour!
Life sucks. I’m PMS-ing. It’s too cold out there. I need an anti-depressant. I’m broke. I’m bored out of my mind. The economy is crap. I hate my job. I need a job. My business isn’t going anywhere. I wish I had a life. I gotta get out of these pajamas. The house is a mess. I need to finish this task. Yesterday. I need… to… do… something…
I was going to go all scientific-y and cite research on colour psychology to finish this post. But we don’t need experts to tell us that colour makes us happy any time, any place.
So let’s indulge ourselves and check out some of my current faves.
ELECTRIC BLUE
Not too commonly known for lifting your spirits, but the right shade can amp up the wattage in your life.
HOT PINK
A staple in my wardrobe. I do have this skirt, in a neutral colour though, but the pink might be a nice addition.
ZANY ORANGE
And don’t you know it, zany can be fierce, too!
NOT-SO-MELLOW YELLOW
Not mellow at all. In fact, it’s cool or hot depending on how you wanna play it.
CRISP WHITE
The classic shirt makes a comeback, and what better way to wear it than in crisp white. And nothing says fresh better than a simple white dress. Or almost-dress (aka itty bitty skirt).

Hi Janie,
They’re very cool, boho and classic (kinda reminds me of ballet shoes) all at the same time, yeah?
All the photos in this article are affiliate links, the majority of which (the larger ones) are from shopbop.com. Usually, if you click on the link it’ll take you to the product and shopbop will also feature whatever else is on the photo as products in their site. For this one though, I couldn’t find the exact shoe so maybe they’ve sold out.
Check out shopbob anyway for other similar styles. For me though, when it comes to shoe shopping, I prefer to do it in person because you never know about the fit and it’s harder to compensate for bad fit with shoes than with clothes.
Hey let me know about your search and if you found these shoes at all, okay? You can email me at yummum@trishcardona.com.

LOVE the orange asymmetrical dress, and the blue top in the first photo. They are both good choices if you want to flaunt nice shoulders. sexy but not over the top.
Love the brown platform sandals in the last photo. Are those wedgies or platforms with chunky heels?

Hi Mau,
Those shoes are platforms with a stilleto heel. Just click on the photo and it’ll take you to the shopbop page for it and you’ll see the shoe on the top right hand side. Be quick, you still might get to buy it! =)
Cheers,
Trish
