Getting your colours 'done'

[Belle]

I've never really worked out which colours suit me. I'm really not keen on the likes of Colour me beautiful (no offence meant to anyone who is, just not my thing) but having said that, where would be a good place to get some pointers on this? Is there a good website? I do remember reading some stuff in the Trinny&Susannah book years back but I could never figure out which category I fell into. I worked out a while back I don't suit black or white but other than that I tend to slip into the same colours because I like them/once decided they suit me, but maybe I'm getting it all wrong. Have recently gone back to work so am attempting to rebuild my wardrobe...

advice welcome!

I have not had it done and I need to, I am all black and grey and it is depressing. I know Queen Bee Styling on here does something to what you are looking for.

def. following this thread....

I've had it done... (I'm embarrassed to say!) Not that I pay much attention to it, although I should as I do look better in "my" colours. I still mostly wear grey/black/white, whereas I am a "Clear/Warm" so really shouldn't. (All will be revealed if you get your colours "done".) Had it done by Anita Feron Clark - here's her website: http://www.feronclarkstyle.com/

She's v good!

Thanks, will have a look at both those stylists. I guess I'm not quite ready to have a whole styling /makeover session, not least as I'm really unfit at the moment so reluctant to spend too much without having resolved that, just always been a bit curious about working out which colours suit. Have tried looking online but it is SO, SO confusing! Clear and deep/dark and cold etc...baffling. I'm sure I've read contradictory stuff too. That's interesting that you could def see a difference with the colours you were advised to wear DVnewbie. Are they colours you'd have tended towards anyway?

I've got the Trinny&Susannah book and you're right, it isn't very obvious which category to fit into, but I leaned towards one (thinking i just liked the colours more than anything) and sure enough I've had several compliments when wearing green. So maybe there is some truth in it? More than welcome to borrow the book if you'd like a refresher?!

Go for it. We all focus on diff things and 'your colours' may not be obvious to you until someone points it out. Various coloured clothes make more of a difference than most of us may care to admit. You don't have to go mad buying tonnes of red stripes with indigo spots but just to know what suits you may help future purchases. Take the advice but moderate your wardrobe changes to suit your budget.

I think I gave my copy of T&S away but know my mum still has a copy so will ask her, thanks blackkat!
