One afternoon, my friend Avery and I decided to meet for lunch. The weather for the afternoon was, in my opinion, dreadful. The sky had been consumed with clouds that were ready to give birth to a rain storm. The sun was nowhere to be found. As I entered the restaurant, I began to scan the dining crowd for my lunch partner, when I heard a lone voice call from across the room, "Glenda, over here!" I noticed my friend, dressed in head-to-toe black, with a pair of black cigarette pants, black ballet flats and a black turtleneck. However, Avery made the decision to make her ensemble come alive by adding an overly large, brightly hued yellow flower pin to her sweater. Avery looked amazing! By adding a pop of color, she managed to take an otherwise simple outfit and make it into a fashion moment.
Normally, for fall/winter, designers show their collections in a series of muted tones. This year, they shocked the fashion community by suggesting to us all that color, is an absolute necessity; especially when times are, to say the least, less than desirable. I agree with the notion that wearing an unexpected shot of color does wonders for ones psyche. The day I dined with my friend, her yellow flower acted as the sun on that cloudy day. Sure, there are occasions when a monochromatic dose of black is both ######y and mysterious. However, for most circumstances, a shot of color is playful, yet daring. How does one pull off an interesting hue enhancement? Just follow these simple ideas and you'll walk into any situation feeling like a burst of colorful delight:
The Bold Bag: If you're dressed to the nine in a black cocktail dress with a pair of black evening shoes; surprise the other guest by carrying a bag that makes a bold statement all on its own.
The Shocking Shoe: Who says that a white dress has to be worn with a neutral shoe? Not so! Do the unusual by pairing your angelic white with a devilish red shoe, or even hot pink.
The Amazing Accessory: Avery knew how to light up the room with her bold flower pin. Take a daring step by adorning yourself with an accessory that is in color contrary to the majority of your outfit. The results...Amazing!
The Colorful Coat: Ditch the black, brown and camel colored outerwear for a coat that is in a hue that demands attention. Orange, powder blue, or even kelly green; if you purchase a colorful coat, you'll receive an A+ in fashion savvy.
The Playful Pout: Whenever I think of women that are playful with their makeup

The Unleashed Undies: This next surprise of color is just for you, or the significant other in your life. Shhhh, this is your little secret... a pop of colorful undies is a sure fire way to add an element of fun to your day. Your little secret will leave you feeling coquettish and with an uncontrollable urge to giggle.
I hope these ideas will encourage you to add bright details to your wardrobe. By donning pops of color, you'll add spontaneity to your day-to-day life. The color will make a powerful and rebellious statement. It will be your own way of giving a finger to all that is bad in this world. (Wink).
This information hardly came as a surprise to me because, having grown up in a predominantly female environment, my notion has always been, even from a tender age that compliments to a woman are like oxygen: something required on a constant basis.One could even go further to say, reiterating the title of this article (without being crucified
christian louboutin sandals, of course) that for any woman, in the absence of the proverbial apple
christian louboutin boots, a compliment a day would definitely keep her doctor away. For the 'Mr Cynical in our midst who thinks the last statement lack credibility, all you need do is cast your mind back to the time you came home from work and found your woman in a pensive mood.
Rather than argue over what a long hard day you'd had at work, or how you could not be bothered to deal with her moods, the first thing you did was cuddle, kiss, and remind her what a one-in-a-million girlfriend or wife she was. That singular act could definitely make all the difference.Dear gentlemen, if that has yet to happen, it's never too late to give it a shot. I already have on a number of occasions, and believe me when I say it defies the imagination how the power of a genuine compliment can sometimes usher in a swift transformation from what was once a reservoir of negative emotions to a fountain of positive inner feeling. This change does not have to be an immediate experience, but as the man in this situation, you would have just given your woman the emotional medication she has perhaps yearned for all along, setting her on her way to recovery.
