Are you a color booster? Do you like to wear bright colors to feel happier and more confident? Or would you like to dress more colorfully?

loves orange, yellow, red, pink, and lilac.

Yes, I wear those colors too! I have a bright bold floral silk top as well!

But since I'm small and petite I avoid outfits that busy.

Do you feel happier when you wear those colors?

It brings me joy to see people express themselves with colors like this. I wish I had a diverse wardrobe like hers but I do have a few fun pieces. Hats and colorful socks are fun too.

Yes, I feel happier when I can express myself.
I like to shop for women's XS clothes at Kohl's and Revolve.com.

Last year I had a rough patch and considered therapy.
It is a lot cheaper to buy colorful clothes!

That looks like a bright and cheerful blouse.

A lot of things are cheaper than traditional therapy these days.

We could make a listed thread on that alone!

:)

That thumbnail wouldn't look out of place in a Vaporwave compilation.

I'll have the dopamine dressing on my serotonin salad.

I love wearing colourful floral shirts. Not only does it make me feel good, but i keep getting compliments from people when I do - maybe it's because they see me happy :D

I've always had a colourful and loud dress sense for as long as I can remember. Never thought to give it a name though. "Dopamine dressing" sounds very clinical.

Most of my wardrobe is in blue (both jeans and shirts) but I'd like to dress with more color. I've actually never heard of this before so thank you for the info.
