Does anyone remember this phase American women went through in the mid-80's? "Color Me Beautiful" was a home party of sorts where you held up color swatches to your facial skin and determined which made you shine and which made you look death-like. You could then buy a purse pack of your colors to take shopping and avoid any clothing that washed you out. I was a winter, according to their analysis, which meant cool colors, bold blacks, reds, fuchsias. No tan, yellows, or oranges. It was a bit freeing to limit my choices to items that would enhance my beauty…(humor intended.)
There have been times along the way I have rebelled. I now own a mustard colored sweater, but avoid the inevitable comments of "Are you feeling alright today?" by using a navy scarf around my neck.
Do you own any pieces of clothing that wash you out? Do you feel less attractive in that outfit? Are there articles in your closet that you pass over time after time? Think about why you avoid wearing that piece. Maybe it's time to let those shirts, dresses, or jackets go. Last week I was given a free t-shirt with a logo that I love but…it's yellow. DEATH LOOK! I've decided that I can use it for my prize box at school instead of on me. Some blond or red-head child will enjoy glowing in that yellow shirt.
