'I'm obsessed with the colour orange - I have orange hair, wear orange clothes and live in an orange flat'

A woman who is 'obsessed' with the colour orange wears shades of it every day, has orange hair and even lives in an orange flat. Sheri Scott, 37, says she has loved the colour orange for as long as she can remember, and has always been drawn to it because it's 'bright and colourful.'

At 21, Sheri dyed her blonde hair to bright ginger, and then coloured it again two weeks later as it wasn't 'orange enough'. Over the years, she has filled her wardrobe with orange clothes, from jeans, to tops, accessories and dresses.

In February 2020, Sheri moved into her two bed flat which she has since renovated with different shades of orange. She has everything from orange walls to sofas, cupboards, radiators and drawers.

"I've always been inspired by cartoons - so bright colours, shapes and textures. It has always been something that I've been drawn to," Sheri said. "One of my biggest inspirations for my style is cartoons, so when I picture myself or picture in my head it is usually in cartoon form.

"I call my wardrobe the orange womb because they always say if you are creating a wardrobe space then it should be neutral so you can dress properly so my neutral is orange."

Sheri has loved the colour orange for as long as she can remember. "Cartoons have just always been a massive inspiration for me - whether it be aesthetically or personally and something that I can relate to," she said. "I love the energy of Miss Piggy, Inspector Gadget, Gonzo Style and Scooby Doo. I feel like cartoons bring a sense of fun."

Sheri believes wardrobes should be fun and loves 'dopamine dressing' - wearing colourful clothes to boost your mood. Her wardrobe is filled with, orange socks, t-shirts, trousers, and dresses.

She said: "I don't have one piece of black clothing in my wardrobe and has had one black dress but it had lime accents on it. If I wear black, I feel like an imposter.

"I feel it's really important to me the way I feel in my clothes and how I've taken myself to the world is really important or my self expression."

After moving into her flat in February 2020, Sheri is still working on transforming the house into her orange oasis. Sheri said: "It brings me a load of joy - it's self expression really. I can't draw and I'm not a musician so it's the way I can express myself and just enjoy the art of play."
