I used to be the same way. Mostly drab, dark clothes with some dark green thrown in. Then I gained over 70lbs on effexor and had to buy all new clothes. It was like, well you can't not see me anymore as big as I am, I'm gonna make sure you see pretty girly clothes since they have to be so big! Everything I bought had color to it. I even bought things in pink and purple. Being a tom boy, that was a major struggle! So now I've lost 50 of those 70 lbs, so do I go back to hiding or stay with the color? Two weeks ago I'd of said color, but been down the last two weeks and I don't think I have anything in my closet to match my mood. The important thing is you did it. You bought some color. That in my opinion was the big first step which means sucess.
