What’s your favourite colour Sam?
A pretty generic question, I know. However, it is one we’ve all been asked a couple of hundred times throughout our lives. It’s just one of those questions people always seem to have an answer for. I mean it’s really easy to like pink or be fond of orange, neither of which I’m too crazy about, but I have always seemed to be a bit more mellowed out when it comes to my colour palette. A little contradictory given that I dabble in a few art mediums – I am by no means Van Gough, yet (a girl can dream).
I am more of a neutrals person myself. I find majority of my comfort in the welcoming tones that are black, white and grey, although, I do tend to get crazy now and then and throw in some colours. Denim, nude and pastels count right?
In my attempt to grab life by the horns and stretch beyond my comfort zone, which is turning out to be a lot less scary than I had originally thought by the way, I am trying to boost my palette selections. Yes, even going beyond the whimsy that is beige.
Now, I know what you’re thinking. Uhm Sam, all I am seeing is grey? True, but who said anything about the colour of the clothes changing just yet. Yes, I draw your attention to the lip porn that is spiced raisin –you may now swoon.
Although I have generally strayed from deep, bold colours, just for the fear of not being able to pull it off, I am deeply satisfied with the mystery and allure that is spiced raisin.
Changing up is exciting and spontaneous and I dig that I am going on the slow rise to bold beauty.
There is nothing like new confidence. Find your spiced raisin and own your greyscale!
