I'M DREAMING OF A BRIGHT CHRISTMAS…

Did you know that color is a great way to change your mood? Just as music creates an emotional response so does color. With the current, unsettled economic situation, we are all looking for a reason to be cheerful. No wonder major retailers this holiday season are featuring bright, bold colors, suggesting strength, confidence, and optimism. Whether it's bright dresses, colorful jeans, or accessories, you will see color everywhere this holiday and who isn't more cheerful when wearing bright colors? Favorite holiday colors include red, turquoise, emerald green, sapphire blue, hot pink, and orange. And, being the "bright spot" at a party doesn't mean you have to look like a Christmas tree. With a few fun colorful accessories, you will brighten your mood and the mood of others around you. Of course, a simple way to add color is with a pair of colorful tights or leggings . Put on your LBD or black skirt, add tights, a matching scarf… and voila! Other featured accessories include bright shoes, purses, scarves, hats, belts, etc. This holiday season, it is time to step away from the television, put down your bank statements, and take time to enjoy the holidays….. ….AND MAY ALL YOUR CHRISTMAS TIGHTS BE BRIGHT!!! -Nanci
