What's Your Color?

In a recent blog, I mentioned that American women tend to go blah with mostly white or beige in their lingerie wardrobe. Why are we so afraid of color? So what if a little lace or a strap shows? Color can make a big difference is how we feel and see ourselves. Astrologer, Michele Bernhardt in her new book, Colorstrology, tells us that every month has a unique power color. She believes that “wearing, meditating on or surrounding yourself with the hue of you birth month enhances your strengths and helps you feel connected to your destiny.” Bernhardt says “you can also focus on a color from another month to empower yourself with the qualities it represents.

COLOR IS A STATEMENT ABOUT WHO WE ARE. WE USE COLOR TO ENHCANCE OUR MOOD.
