Building a wardrobe of lucky charms
Words by Bridget Barnett
To understand Chinese astrology is to know that the way you approach a new year is intrinsically linked to your chances of attracting positive energy and good fortune for the months ahead. So what better time to reach for the stars than in 2021, just when it feels like a little luck might go a long way?
The principles of unlocking the power of positive aura also suggest the importance of embracing colours that align with your unique Chinese zodiac sign, and in the Year of the Metal Ox, opting for white, silver, gold, purple, blue and grey, along with metallic accessories, is one way to secure success through style.
