Extenuating the summer vibes further, adding a pair of sunglasses can really tie the whole look together, giving you dopamine dressing with minimal amount of colour but just enough to get the good mood flowing!
Dopamine dressing can be a rewarding way of expressing yourself since it’s essentially dressing for your happiness! Feeling good is equally as important as looking good, and dopamine dressing can help you break out of your comfort zone and build your confidence up to try something that will make you feel happy and will make you feel comfortable in what you’re wearing.
