Wear Green
I am under instructions from dream group to wear more green.
This happens now and then. You give a dream at dream group. Something goes on in the dream that is the crux of the dream, and you end up wearing a colour you wouldn't normally wear. It's all too hard to explain, I just need to wear more green for a bit.
And I don't wear much green.
I wear lots of black and red and quite a bit of blue and loads of grey. I love blue/greens, like teals and peacock colours, but real green I don't normally wear - not that I have nothing against green - I just haven't thought to wear much of it.
So I went shopping at lunchtime to bolster the wardrobe so that maybe, in wearing green, I can soothe the metaphysical disruptions that my dreams are indicating. (Does all this sound a bit hippy?)
Half an hour later, $50 poorer, I found a lovely mint green cardigan on sale at Sussan, as well as an emerald green t-shirt at Zara. The scarf type thing with the green border - that was a five dollar sale item that will go on the Bali pile. I need a new sarong for my holiday.
I love how colour can make your feel - wearing red makes me feel really attractive. Black - somewhat invisible (Melbourne uniform) If I wear mustard I feel like I'm the size of a house. Blue tends to calm me down. White has the effect of making me look like an Eastern Block seventies shot putter - so I only wear white in combination with other things.
My other colour association is with orange. I was going through a glum patch - think I'd just broken up with a boyfriend and Alice said she had a solution. I was presented with a pair of orange underpants. "How can you not have fun when you're wearing orange undies?" she asked me. Not so strangly, when Blarney was spending a bit of time at the Children's Hospital with the boys, I gave her a pair of orange undies in a care package for the same reason.
But green - I was turned off green at primary school - it was one of my primary school colours (just as I didn't wear blue for a decade after high school, for the same reason)
Maybe it's time to wear green again.
Or maybe it's time to look at why I often hold back my emotions.
We will see what happens.
(Happy now, Viv?)
Green, huh? One of my daughter's favourite design colours so it features largely (and really rather nicely) in her bedroom.
ReplyDeleteI had always avoided red because I thought it made me look sickly, but since LC bought me back a bright red, chunky Casio watch from the US last year, I've 'accentuated' it with a few scarves, a pair of boots and two new tops and had lots of compliments.
I think that green would really suit you, Pand.
