my color analysis

Have you ever heard of House of Colour? My friend Ally is a consultant which is how I first heard about it. I recently had my colors done, and I learned so much!

Ally explained a lot of the history of color analysis and how they use it in Hollywood to dress actors to look their best (or not if they are playing a villain role).

By trying out different colors on me and seeing how they affect my skin, we realized I am a winter! More specifically, a sultry winter. I look best in cool, blue-based, clear, bright, vivid and icy colors.

My favorite part of the whole thing was that I mentioned to my mom that I had this done, and she said she did it over 20 years ago. And, she’s also a winter!

Here’s a look at some of my best colors:

I am definitely more drawn to muted colors as personal preference, so moving forward I am planning to focus on wearing a lot of the white, black and charcoal clothes I have, and eventually bringing in more burgundy, bright pink, purple/plum and pine green as I add to my wardrobe.

Have you had your colors done? Is this something you would do?
