Who is Ready for WEAR HAPPY COLOR 2022 on March 1?

This March will be the fourth year of Wear Happy Color! This whole movement started as a challenge for the sewing community back in 2019 with Sew Happy Color, and eventually broadened to all crafters and wearers of colorful clothing! To get yourself ready for this year’s challenge, take a look at what people did in the past couple of years by browsing the hashtags:

Or my previous blog posts:

In the pre-COVID years I took this concept on the road and taught Wear Happy Color classes to people in real life. Recently, I recorded myself teaching a class in my studio and that class is now available for you to watch in the comfort of your home via my online course, Wear Happy Color: Your Guide to a Colorful Wardrobe. When you enroll in this course, you learn all about color theory and how to pair colors together using the color wheel as your guide. You also learn about mixing prints and how to combine neutral tones with your favorite colors. This course includes my pdf ebook Wear Happy Color, as well as a handy digital color wheel postcard. One you enroll in this course, you can watch it as many times as you’d like and there is no expiration date!

This course and ebook will help you if you are new to wearing color and need some guidance. Once you’ve take the course or read the book, then you  are jump in with everyone on Instagram – Katie Kortman and Facebook and wear some color in MARCH!

Since the challenge began back in 2019 I have received endless feedback from people letting me know how wearing color has affected them in a positive way. They told me it boosted their mood and made them feel happier, that they got more compliments, and that they were utilizing more of their existing wardrobe in new ways. Most of the feedback I received over the years has related to how wearing colorful clothing in a purposeful way can be a powerful form of self-care. Wow. I think that is amazing. This revelation is directly related to the current fashion trend of dopamine dressing, and how the clothing we wear can potentially affect our mood. I now feel energized more than ever to continue on with the tradition.

SO without further ado, here are the facts about WEAR HAPPY COLOR 2022 (——Dopamine dressing before that was trendy!)

What is Wear Happy Color?

Wear Happy Color is a month-long challenge in March hosted on Instagram and Facebook by me. Each week there is a different color theme that encourages participants to go into their closets and use that week’s theme to inspire their daily outfits. Then everyone comes together on Instagram/Facebook to post photos of their outfits for the world to see using #wearhappycolor2022.

Are there Live Events?

Yes! On INSTAGRAM beginning March 1  I will be hosting IG Lives about the color wheel, showing off my colorful closet, my sewing studio where the magic happens, and my process for choose things when I get dressed! In my IG stories I will post inspiration and some of the community posts of the color for the week! Make sure to follow me here.
