Then, several years later I started working with a gal who owns a shop not far from my home - she uses a much more detailed system and I learned that I was a 'Vibrant' Winter - I could wear all the wonderful, bright jewel tones so well but I also had a touch of Autumn because of the warm tones in my eyes. That opened up a whole new way of thinking for me - I could wear touches of 'warm' colors near my face, combined with the 'cooler' colors I was already wearing. <br /><br />Not long ago we did my colors again because over the years my skin and hair have changed. I am much more neutral now but still wear the beautiful tones of winter, softened a bit - with touches of Autumn added from time to time. Whenever I wear soft pink I get compliments; when I wear light peach I really get compliments. Knowing what compliments my hair and skin tones has given me confidence when I shop and put things together. I love the color system!<br />~Adrienne~Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401476871614514660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18734696.post-78438617959468449372011-05-06T11:17:36.431-07:002011-05-06T11:17:36.431-07:00I didn't think this could go out of style..

I was confusing to the gal who did my color drape. She labeled me a summer. Then the next time I was with her I wore this nasty mustard colored sweater (I loved it!) and she said, wait a minute, no one but a fall can come close to that sweater and you look great. Which of course is why I wore it, I had always worn fall colors well. Funny thing is, I don't look good in them now that I'm older. I really believe in the truth of skin tone color/clothing colors and love how it fine tunes a persons wardrobe, but leave it to me to muck up a rule... :)<br /><br />Blessings, Debbieno spring chickenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15772761727295689298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18734696.post-807816114932835912011-05-05T05:27:32.911-07:002011-05-05T05:27:32.911-07:00I remember when the color book came out.

Browns are right out. Thanks for the color reminder.

We both have that little plastic "book". :)<br /><br />We both also found it helped us a great deal in choosing clothing.

I love have my colors and am faithful to them. I gave a copy of the book to my daughter Angela and she took it a step further and has her "Power Color" a rich blue color that is stunning on her. It works well for her and her business style.

I *think* I'm a winter -- based on a quick analysis a group of us did in high school home ec class in the 80s -- but I would like someone else to help me out with this beyond trusting my own potentially rusty analysis.JoannaTopazThttp://joannatopazt.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18734696.post-17575155199565225942011-05-04T21:18:20.936-07:002011-05-04T21:18:20.936-07:00Some nice church ladies paid for me to be analyzed...Some nice church ladies paid for me to be analyzed when a professional came to the church. I can barely remember what they said, except that my favorite dress wasn't in my season, and that I needed to wear a rusty red brown as my best color, which I had none of in my closet. I came back to the idea a few years ago, and started working over my wardrobe as I bought new things. Brown is now my favorite basic color. It does so much more for me then navy or black ever did. And when ever I can get my hands on a rusty red brown outfit, I snatch it up, and bring it home as quickly as possible. It is amazing what it does for my skin tone. My mother tried to make me into a winter all through my childhood, but I am an autumn.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11115298443153411556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18734696.post-80364802955862171962011-05-04T20:22:02.921-07:002011-05-04T20:22:02.921-07:00This is a blast from the past but one I have follo...This is a blast from the past but one I have followed in choosing colors for myself.

The woman that did it was a veterinarian's wife... I can't think of her name, but it will come to me. I am also a summer, as is my mom. I had worn those "earth tones" for way too long and notbody ever told me how bad I looked!!She also gave us makeup suggestions and Mom still buys the Max Factor blush she recommended so long ago. I loved this post.

There's a certain shade of blue that I wear that people always compliment me on without fail. Pink is another, but I think that pink is a universal color. Yellow is my favorite color, but wearing it makes me look ill. From all of that, can you tell what my season is? ;>Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18734696.post-37590401387181972522011-05-04T18:00:42.878-07:002011-05-04T18:00:42.878-07:00Oh, La Tea Dah, I remember the insistence on color...Oh, La Tea Dah, I remember the insistence on colors! I honestly don't remember what I am but I LOVE bright, sassy colors...vibrant pinks and reds, turquoise and purple. I even like lime green! Don't care for gray but can wear black and white. So what does that make me----spring/summer/fall/and autumn all mixed together? hee hee<br /><br />Take care. SusanSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12358462881287190635noreply@blogger.com
