It appears I’m not the only one who gravitated towards Chaneen’s colourful look, as the mother and influencer has noticed a huge difference in how her wardrobe has affected her interactions.

“People treat me so nicely when I’m out and I’m dressed like this,” Chaneen says. “I don’t know what they think of me, especially strangers – they have no idea who I am or what I do – but they will come and speak to me and just say you look amazing. You look awesome. I love your outfit. We need more colour like this in the world. Nobody wears colours. They will be just so kind and so complimentary,” she added, which certainly makes a change from my usual head down, AirPods in commute. So, I had to ask: what did Chaneen’s wardrobe look like before?

“All brown, all beige, all nude. Just not much colour,” Chaneen said. Which, I imagine, describes the majority of our wardrobes. So stepping into a sea of pink shades was quite the change, and while it may sound quite straightforward, a complete overnight style overhaul certainly isn’t simple. In fact, for some of us, the idea of letting go of our everyday basics for bright and bold colours may sound more like an impossible challenge than something that’s creatively freeing.
