Maybe it is a case of Monday blues. Or perhaps you simply wake up feeling jittery or like you are just not “in the mood” for the day. It happens to the best of us. But like most things, I believe it is mind over matter. For a little over two years now I have practiced this idea of out-dressing a negative mood or mindset and taking back the power over my day. On the occasions I wake up feeling anxious, overwhelmed or a sense of foreboding, I know I have the power to make things right by being very deliberate in the style choices I make that day.

I believe we should be dressing for how we want to feel and not how we might be feeling.

In doing so we regain control of whatever has triggered our bad mood or negative mindset.

So in the spirit of giving you the tools to take your power back, here are my 5 of my tried and tested mood-boosting style tips PLUS a fresh edit of new season mood-boosting pieces you might want to consider adding to your wardrobe.
