From the very beginning of this project, I knew that June would be yellow. It was decided long before I actually started writing about colors, so it never felt like a question. I don’t even remember exactly how I chose it – but somehow, June feels perfect for yellow. Or maybe yellow feels perfect for June.
June is a sunny month. Longer days, more light, warmer air. Everything feels a bit more open, a bit more alive. And yellow, at least for me, is exactly that.
What’s interesting is that even though I’ve always liked yellow, I almost never wore it. I honestly don’t know if I ever owned anything yellow. I loved the color, but I kept it at a distance. Maybe I thought it wouldn’t suit me. Maybe I didn’t want to stand out too much – because yellow is definitely not a quiet color. Yellow is visible. It asks to be seen.
For me, yellow has always been the color of the sun and optimism. Those are the first two words that come to mind. Sunlight, warmth, positive energy. A color that lifts, that brings a sense of hope and lightness. And maybe that’s exactly why I’m so curious about this month.
Lately, I haven’t been feeling my best. Nothing dramatic – just one of those periods where energy feels low and optimism doesn’t come naturally. And because of that, yellow feels like a gentle support. Almost like an invitation. A reminder that light still exists, even when I don’t feel it fully.
I don’t know yet what this yellow month will bring. I don’t have big expectations or plans. I just know that I want to let yellow do what it does best – encourage optimism, warmth, and maybe a little more trust in brighter days ahead.
Maybe yellow will show up in small ways. In light. In mood. In moments.
And of course, it will show up in what I wear – that’s what this project is about.
I’ve already prepared a few yellow pieces. Not too many, because I don’t know yet if yellow will become a long-term love for me after this month. Two dresses, a skirt, a few T-shirts, a pullover, a blazer – and that’s probably it. Just enough to really experience the color, without overthinking it.
This month is not about forcing anything. It’s about trying, feeling, and seeing how yellow fits into my everyday life – and what it brings into my days.
