Color me Decluttered
This isn't your mother’s color consultation…
Back in the 80’s, my mother introduced me to Color Me Beautiful and the concept of color analysis. The concept of there being certain colors that cpeople being assigned to a seasons of colors to complement your skin tones. I self diagnosed as a Summer and embraced my Laura Ashley lighter colored floral dresses with glee.
Then came the 90’s with grunge, earth toned lipstick, and MAC Spice lipliner. Color wheels were relegated to the art studio along with seasonal palettes.
But now colors are back and so is color analysis. They say everything comes back in style eventually! But I’d like to think knowing which colors look best on you was never out of style.
Knowing the colors that work best for you gives you the power to make quick decisions when faced with a multitude of options. You’ll spend less time searching because you’ll know exactly what shades to look for. You can confidently eliminate anything not in your season.
You’ll say “no” much faster to the trendy colors that may not be your best. You’ll recognize retailers’ color palettes for the season and know instantly if they are flattering for you or not.
Knowing YOUR colors means you have a good reason to edit the wrong color clothes from your closet that you never wear because they are not going to flatter you. Ever. Let someone else wear them!
Which means your closet will be full of clothes that complement you at your best. No more “I thought this would look good and I don’t know why I hate it on me.” No more clothes with tags still on them haunting you because they aren’t the right color for you. Let someone else wear them!
I used YourColorGuru for my color consultation. Once you sign up and choose a package, you answer a questionnaire, and submit some photos. Very easy and they even tell you exactly how to take the pictures. Mine were super unflattering, makeup free, and quickly deleted from my roll once I sent them.
A few days later, they emailed me my Color Radiance Report which gave me my “season” (Sunlit Summer) and a detailed explanation of the colors and shades that work best for me and why.
Lighter, less intense shades are better for me. Black isn’t great but Navy is. Pinks are A+. Stay away from orange and brown.
The report also included my 35 best colors and it was sent to me in laminated card form. Not only do I have this in my purse when shopping in person but I also have a digital copy I can pull up when selecting online. This is going to be a game changer when it comes to selecting clothes because I’ll know what to stay away from and what shades will look best.
