🎨 Rediscovering Color: A Style Workshop with Purpose
Taking care of yourself is also part of motherhood — especially when you’re far from home, navigating cultures, winters, and shifting identities. That’s why we’re inviting you to pause, reconnect, and add some much-needed color to your life.
On September 27, join us in Amstelveen, in the Netherlands, for the workshop “Color Confidence: Dress with Energy, Purpose, and Style,” part of the Give Happiness Transformation Festival. The session will be led in English by Aline França, an experienced image consultant and personal branding strategist.
🌈 What to expect from this session:
In just 1.5 hours, Aline will guide us through a hands-on and creative journey to explore how color can shift the way we dress — and how we see ourselves.
You’ll:
Paint your own color wheel and learn to mix primary, secondary, and tertiary colors.
Experiment with color harmonies like complementary, analogous, and triadic combinations.
Reflect on how different colors make you feel — more confident, calm, energized.
Learn practical ways to bring more color into your everyday wardrobe, especially during the grey months of fall and winter.

“Discovering your color palette might also mean discovering versions of yourself you’ve been hiding.”
