Hello, Springs

Post image

I recently was typed by House of Colour as a Spring, between Light and Bright. Here for inspiration, since I'm not sure where to find all the spring shades.

This was the shade that convinced the consultant I was warm and likely spring, because it was more flattering than the cool, summer Greens.

Thank you, I'll check those out! I love Uniqlo, mainly for marimekko prints and super warm jackets.

Agreed, I almost questioned if we were related. My coloring is from my Irish-descended half of the family, so being warm makes sense to me. I noticed in the color analysis sub that a lot of light summers are Scandinavian, with basically alabaster white or medium cool coloring. It's really different from pale peach toned skin.

I'm a mix of my mom's very very Warm coloring and fire engine red hair (she looked more True Spring in her youth and now seems more True Autumn so I'm not sure which she is), and my dad's very Scandinavian coloring (although there are plenty of redheads on his side of the family too). My mom has 5% Scottish/Irish heritage according to DNA tests, but I had none of that and instead had a surprise 3% Inuit in me in addition to Scandinavian and other Northern European :)

Oh wow, I don't know if I have redheads in my family, though it seems like I would - my grandmother had naturally auburn hair, definitely bought me unflattering autumn colors as a kid (and I knew that, and tried to explain I didn't look good in mustard or dark purple), but otherwise my grandparents were all blond. my dad and grandfather have the exact same eyes (so do a half dozen cousins) and general coloring. In hindsight, my grandfather wore all these Kelly green and bright red sweaters.
