Color Me!

Have you ever noticed that you look best in a certain color or two? Well, some people base their whole wardrobe off the notion that certain colors best make their skin glow, their eyes pop, and their hair shine (ahem, moi!). I denied this idea for years, but my mom kept telling me about how this idea came about in the 80's and then died away. One day I was at a library book sale and found the book:

Color Me Beautiful by Carole Jackson - 80 cent find at library sale, shwing!

From 1983, and the photos inside are so mind-blowingly-shoulder-paddy good. Reading this book, it was actually convincing. Depending on your skin tone, eyes, and hair, you are given a group of colors:

For each of the above, imagine the landscape from that season -- those are the colors you would wear! Thanks nature. *thumbs up*

I'm an autumn, which by the way friends, is why I don't wear blue! I always stay towards browns, reds, oranges, greens, yellows. Even black pains me to wear (I feel like it makes me look palid), but I can't resist the Lil Black Dress. So whatev.

There's a lot more research out there about this. Generally it's known as color analysis, and I'm gonna be getting into it more soon!
