When I was a teen, my mother would try to convince me to wear mustard-coloured clothing. This often sparked fights because I considered it (and rust red, and army green) part of a colour palette that only old ladies would wear)• • I often think of that situation and my mom when I wear mustard because it reminds me of some important lessons: • • 1) My mom was decades ahead of the curve with wearing colours that complemented her skin tone and hair, and encouraging me to do the same.• • 2) It’s 🆗 to change your mind. • • 3) Sometimes the right choice presents itself at the wrong time. • • Sorry, mom. It took me 20 years to understand… but you were right
