Marianne Taylor from Cornwall shares her vibrant fashion choices that boost her mood and confidence.
Marianne, 48, has always loved color. But about a year ago, she really embraced it. She believes what you wear can lift your spirits. Her wardrobe is a rainbow of about 400 pieces, including fun skirts and comfy tracksuits.
On tough days, she reaches for green. When she wants to feel cheerful, pink and yellow are her favorites. She says getting dressed can spark joy. It’s all about self-care and feeling free.
Growing up, Marianne felt pressure to fit into diet culture. She often toned down her outfits with black. After losing her best friend in 2020, she had a wake-up call. She realized life is too short to worry about fitting in.
Marianne decided to ditch dieting. She started wearing what made her happy. She loves styling herself and focuses on how her clothes make her feel. Comfort and joy are her priorities now.
She cleared out her closet, keeping only what she loved. Now, she wears bright colors without worrying about age or size. Pink, blue, and orange are her favorites. Green calms her on stressful days.
Her home is filled with pink and neon lights, which help her relax. When she needs a pick-me-up, yellow and pink do the trick. It’s all about that dopamine hit.
Marianne describes her style as a mix of “colorful toddler” and “colorful grunge.” She hopes to inspire others to try dopamine dressing. It’s not just about bold colors; it’s about what brings you joy.
Some days, she struggles to get dressed. But she knows it helps her feel better. Dressing up makes her more likely to go out and enjoy life. She encourages everyone to celebrate their unique style and forget about fitting in.
