The Little Black Dress is in the staple of every woman's wardrobe since time began! Sit on any commuter train on any weekday and look around the carriage. What do we see? The predominant colour of Black. Some people look great in black, others look terrible. So what type of person suits black? If your a Winter then Black is a safe colour for you. The amount of black will vary from person to person and will change as you get older, but you will look great in Black. After having my colours analysis done I was told that I was an Autumn. I was very upset as I did not want to wear those "Cow Pat" colours. I wanted by Black cloths and my Pink Lipstick. Because I had my colours done just before starting my training as an Image Consultant I had to get it right. I experimented with Dark Brown, Moss Green, Teal and found that they worked for me. they even went really well with my Mustard blouse that I worn with my Black skirt, blue eyeshadow and pink lipsick! A few months later, I went back to wearing my Black and more horror of horrors - I looked like awfull! How could I have gone through life for so many years thinking I looked OK! I could see that Black completely drained the colour away from my face, it made me look older and ill. I no longer have any black in my wardrobe. Everyone else? If you are not a Winter, wear it with caution. If you are a Dark Summer, it won't be a complete disaster, but wear it away from the face, ie skirt, trousers or shoes. If you are a Light Summer, then it's likely to be too heavy for you anywhere on the body. For all Summers, try Navy, Aubergine, Dove Grey, Cornflower Blue, Burgundy as your Black alternatives. These will be far more flattering to your skin tone and will coordinate better with your other seasonal colours. Autumn or Spring? Well, Black is an incredibly difficult colour for us to carry anywhere on the body really. It doesn't coordinate well with any of our other colours and will drain our blue skins horribly of all colour making us look rather pale and washed out. What to do instead? Springs: Chocolate Brown, Bright Navy, Cinnamon, Copper. Autumns: Dark Brown, Olive and Moss Green, Teal and Kingfisher, Marine Navy, Purple, Chestnut Still married to your Black? I know it's hard to let go, I struggled big time, but decided to go cold turkey and "Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway!" Once I'd weaned myself off Black and revisited 6 months later, I realised it didn't make me look my best. And once you've looked fabulous for 6 months and felt really good about yourself, why would anyone want to go back to looking 'ok'? I certainly didn't want to. By not wearing Black you will receive lots of compliments and feel so much better. it will give you lots of energy, and enhance your life. Enjoy! And to all you Winters out there, we love you and hate you in about equal measure! Please enter a paragraph
