Hot pink makes my heart sing!!

Images: Carly, a woman with a red face, short dark curly hair, wearing a hot pink boilersuit over a floral top, and black boots. In the first photo she’s not wearing a jacket. In the second, she’s wearing a neon floral puffer jacket. She’s standing near a bright green door in both pics, smiling.

Lots of people tell me they’re scared to wear bright colours. They don’t want to draw attention to themselves.

I’ve been there. I didn’t want to draw attention to myself beyond my red face, so I wore greys and browns.

And then I realised how fabulous wearing colourful clothes made me feel, and saw that I didn’t get negative reactions to my clothes. And so I wore what made me happy.

Today I wore this hot pink boilersuit to my two jobs – and literally everyone I spoke to complimented me on how fabulous my outfit was. It was a great talking point.

Just wear the colour. I promise you’ll feel fucking fabulous!
