Too much of a good thing can be even greater.
When it comes to that colour that makes your feel fab in all meanings of the word- go for it! Wear it every chance you get! Revel in the compliments about your glow.
Your power colour is one that makes you feel confident and bright. It suits your natural colouring in terms of temperature and tone (cool/dark and deep/medium/light). It can have a story, as many colours are associated with different sentiments, for instance, Blue is a colour inspiring calm and trust. Orange is a colour of lust, while white is one of purity and Purple is one of royalty. You can of course give your own meaning to your power colour by making it your own. I love yellow. It is a colour that can be associated with being aloof, but when I wear yellow I want it to mean that I am bold and confident. I am a risk taker and I don't care about the haters.
A great way to maximise you power colour is to incorporate it into a monochromatic look. This is where you assemble garments of similar hues but differing tones into one outfit, head to toe.
Bonus You may appear taller and leaner. It's different from being matchy- matchy because you will be using bold pieces. We're not talking about pairing a pink plastic belt with pink rubber flip flops and a pink woogie. I'm talking about pairing a mauve tailored blazer with a fuchia silk tunic, a pair of bright burgundy peg legged trousers and some rosy blush suede pumps. See the difference? I'm including some pictures of great monochromatic looks.
