IT TAKES TWO TO TANGO: Whats your fashion colour for the water snake year?

The belief in Feng Shui runs in the blood of many, especially among the Chinese. It is a Chinese art or practice based on a belief in patterns of Yin and Yang and the flow of Chi that have positive and negative effects. Hence it's no surprise that Feng Shui believers position objects in their homes and offices, or abide to certain lucky numbers, symbols and colours (explains why our Fathers buy the SAME 4D number for years?).

Well we, the generation-Y that is, may be less prudent about all these, but nevertheless, we always say, "NO HARM TAKING IT AS A GUIDELINE". After all, LUCK is very important! (Bacarrat and Roulette came into the mind). OK sorry...

No, we are not planning to move houses or use the bagua 八卦 (energy map). We are relating Feng Shui with our 2013 fashion direction! Look good and gain luck? We like.

Easiest guideline would be to identify the lucky color of the year.

OK so its the year of the Water element - the Water Snake! Colors of the Water feng shui element are all shades of blue and black. BLACK dresses?! Oh is that even a problem, we can fish a black dress from our closet blindfolded. The Star also suggests lucky colours for the upcoming Year of the Snake to be blue, green and purple. So yea, BLUE BLACK GREEN PURPLE it is!

The plus point: It doesn't only have to be clothing, but accessories in these colour scheme, such as jewelry, scarfs, belts, shoes will do the trick too! *wink wink*. To make it even more POWDERFUL, we read that "you can choose jewellery with natural crystals and stones with the presence of water energy, such as turquoise, aquamarine, pearls, kyanite, lapis lazuli and moonstone. Or, go for black colour ones, such as black obsidian, black tourmaline or black onyx". Extracted from HERE. More reasons to SHOP on our coming Bangkok trip!

As for the more pantang believers, least favourable colours in 2013 are the colours of Earth and Fire feng shui elements, respectively all earthy/light browns and strong yellow, orange and red colours.
