Why I haven't worn any blue this year

Three years ago, on September 14th, I posted a video titled "How can I fix my relationship?" It was season 1 episode 5 of my notorious podcast, The Weekly Wyat. In the video, I talked about relationships, why most of them fail nowadays, and how you can be the exception. Unlike with the depression tip list from six years ago, I still agree with myself on the relationship advice shared in the podcast episode.

But instead of focusing on the relationship aspect of the video, let's draw our attention to the fact that I mentioned, in passing, wearing monochrome outfits - particularly the navy blue outfit I wore during the recording of that particular podcast episode.

But guess what! I haven't worn any navy - or any other shade of blue - all year! Literally! Ha ha!

Yes, I'm serious. I haven't worn a single blue item all year, not even a sock or a piece of underwear.

This is unusual for me since navy used to be my most worn color, so much so that whenever I went shopping with my partner and gravitated towards dark blue items, he would invariably say, "you have that already".

So why haven't I worn any blue this year? Did I get over it? Did I suddenly start hating blue?

Well, no. Not exactly.

You see, what changed wasn't my favorite color. What changed is the person whose favorite color we're talking about.

You might recall that a new identity rose to the surface towards the end of last year (more on this here) - a woman who has a new name and a new self-concept and a new favorite color:

emerald green.

And now you might think that I've worn emerald green all year. I haven't. I do have emerald green clothes that I wore a lot in the winter and spring. However, it's not practical to wear dark colors in the summer, so towards the warmer season I've worn more sage green.

Basically, all shades of green have been fine this year, except some ridiculous bright green. The shade has to be muted.

The shade has to be muted!

Anyway - the point is that the shift from the old identity to the new one has been so dramatic that blue just vanished from my garderobian dictionary. If blue was the color of the R identity, then K just radiates green.

So, that's why.

RK out.
