Step out the box

Step up, step out and be bold! – Sound advice for some, but pretty tough on those with a cosy comfort zone. Colour, fashion and styles guide us through life and enters our everyday existence, yet many of us just seem to add the new with the old, resulting in an amalgamation of the ordinary.

I have recently been advised that purple is THEE colour of winter! But I mean really we’ve heard it all before…grey is the new black, pink is the new red and somewhere in between something is always the new something else. But like many of you, for me black is just black, and will always be the number one new colour in my wardrobe and anything resembling a colour is simply an addition or accessory. Anything too bold and leery is discarded with a scary eeek and a step in the other direction!
Yet with friends like mine, weary means getting me out my comfort zone and trying new things…translation… shopping for an item in the ‘IT’-said winter colour. The response? Overwhelming!
Whomever said “change is as good as a holiday” must have discovered my fab new two tone purple dress. With the amount of complements I got or questions on “what have I done differently,” just goes to show that my comfort zone was just as dull as I was feeling and definitely needed a relook. Just a minor change (with a touch of flair) can change your perception of yourself as well as those around you. So whether you wish to change something in your wardrobe, your hair or even within your home, step out the box and buy one thing that is “just not you” – you will be surprised at just how much it is!

Happy discoveries!
