Colour Me Pretty
This one time during college, I was very upset *I don't remember the reason* but I remember being very upset. I went to a friend's place and she tried cheering me up. She gave up in the end and started showing me the new fabrics she'd got. She had a small clothing line of her own so she was showing me the new fabrics she'd got and I saw this beautiful print in bright red and blue and I cannot tell you how happy it made me! The colours instantly cheered me up #TrueStory Yes, I did end up getting a top made in that print..though I wasn't too happy with the end product, I like it enough to wear it a lot.
Colours make me happy. I rarely opt for a black and white outfit but even when I do, I make it a point to add a pop of colour. I instantly like people who wear a lot of colours. I think men who can carry off bright colours are H.A.W.T. As a kid, it amazed me how you could add two colours and bham! we had a third colour! During art classes, I always added red and white to make pink instead of just using pink. Maybe that is the reason I love spring so much. The colours. The new flowers on the trees, the colourful fruit stalls...spring makes the world a brighter place. Brighter place=Happier place. Though spring here literally means summer and as mush as I crib about the heat and humidity, I'd choose summer/spring over winter anyday just for the colours!
I am also submitting this for the InFB Remix-Neon.
The other day my colleagues were discussing how they associate people with colours. I kept wondering why had I never done that cos I would have loved to do that! I googled about it and excuse my ignorance, I had no idea synesthesia existed! (It is a condition in which one type of stimulation evokes the sensation of another, as when the hearing of a sound produces the visualization of a color.) It's like you see colors in your mind when you think of certain people. And apparently associating emotions with colors is also a part of synesthesia. Read more about synesthetes
Have you ever associated people with colour?

Colour five,girl! I don't remember when was the last time I wore an outfit without even the slightest trace of yellow/electric blue/red/pink/purple/parrot green and so on. I thought it was a phase and would pass but no,it IS me! I'm all about my neon! And my favourite poet is copper for me,my ex-boyfriend was red,my best friend was pink,my favourite book is grey and it goes on.:-)
ReplyDeleteP.S.I don't know of any thrifted stores in Kolkata! How come once in a while you say your accessories and shoes are 'thrifted'? If they're from Kolkata,DO share the shop's address with me. Let me know on Twitter or mail me or text me. See ya soon. Love.
