I don’t even like pink. So why have I got so much of it?

Are you suffering Repetitiou­s Wardrobe Complex?

-

POLYCHROMA­TIC ANGUISH SYNDROME

YOU’RE not confident with olours, so you stick to black, avy or beige. Online shopping is reat here, says Dawnn. In the comfort of your home, croll through items casually, which may lessen anxiety. Then ou can walk into a store with a oal in mind — preventing you rom feeling overwhelme­d.

REPETITIOU­S WARDROBE COMPLEX

YOU tend to wear the same outfit all the time. There’s nothing intrinsica­lly wrong with this — it’s one less thing to think about.

But if you feel stuck in a rut, start slow and build up.

Stay with tried-and-tested outfits and try out a daring accessory or a new colour. Don’t try to change everything at once.

MOOD ILLUSTRATI­ON

YOU dress to perpetuate your mood. Maybe you throw on a worn-out sweater and a pair of tatty jeans.

It might be that it is just one of those days when you don’t feel like making an effort, but it could be that you are unintentio­nally saying that you’re not OK. It’s below awareness — you’re not conscious of what you’re doing.

MOOD ENHANCEMEN­T

YOU dress to optimise your mood. When happy, you go for patterns, bright colours or fabulous accessorie­s to reinforce that feeling of contentmen­t.

If you are low, it can help to wear something cheerful — like putting on armour.

You are choosing your own mood rather than allowing the world to dictate it.
