Hi friends,
I love
treating myself. Every month, I give myself something as a treat. It is normally
small and relatively inexpensive things such as lip gross, scarves, accessories
etc.
In May and
December, I become slightly extravagant and try to get or do something different.
Last December, I booked myself for colour analysis. This is the result.
I know you
will think, they are the colours I normally wear anyway. Yes, left half are the
theme colours in my wardrobe but I did not know that right half would also suit
me. Especially, pink. Lots of nice colours are in my pallet, so I am very
pleased with the outcome.
During the
session, my instructor and I did some experiments using colour samples under
the natural light. Some colours make
shadow around my neck and cheeks and as a result, I look old and dull in them.
The
instructor told me that it gives her grief when she sees a lady wearing black
with black. I told her that majority of ladies are like that especially at work
including myself.
“Yes, but
the difference is, you can take black and strong colours. Majority of British
women can’t. We are not wearing them but worn by those colours. You know what I mean? When you
see those ladies, you see the colour, not them. You need to know which colour makes
you radiant. What compliments YOU, it has to be YOU to be noticed, not
vice versa.”
I think it
is true. No matter what fashionable items we are wearing, if colours don’t
work, we are hardly stylish. Unfortunately,
we look DRAB.
So, I now
know I can wear pink and purple, but not orange and yellow. Shame. I like those
cheerful colours, but I still can have them as long as they don’t come close to
my face……….An orange car, perhaps?
