Cool Seasons...

We are going to talk about clothing and the colors you need to wear. If you haven't figured out what your season is, you can still go HERE and get it.

Winter and Summer... Yea I know I was confused by that as well! Summer isn't cool. But the color season is.

and here is why....

These are cool colors from icy pink to wine and plum. but they all have "blue" undertones. no real warmth. by warmth I look for colors that look like sunshine colors. yellow tones, oranges, reds. those are warm. We will talk about warms tomorrow.

These are the cool shades. the ones on the left are more "icy" ones than the ones on the right. The ones on the right are more of the use of winters. the icy ones are for Summers.

But Winters can "get away with" the icy ones, BUT they wont look as strikingly wonderful on her (or him) as the deep Burgundys, wines, plums, navy, teals, and forest green.

As I said yesterday you will normally gravitate toward your own color scheme, but as you look through your closet you may find (as i did) you have that one outfit that just doesn't fit in but you love it and for some reason you always get complements when you wear it. You love it, it must look nice on you, so by all means keep it.

There are SOME summers and winters that are on an edge of the warm and cool scale. there is a way to determine that. And I know it has to do with a color wheel


But I have yet to really understand this part, since it did not directly effect me. I will be reading up on this and may do a post on contrast later.

For now you summers and winters, go into your closet and look at the colors and the combination of colors you have! you may have a favorite patterned skirt that is on the warm side, but it has a blouse or sweater that matches well and is on the cool side of the color wheel. you want the cool colors next to your face. So that is why that works for you.
