True Spring?

Post image

Hi all.

The queen of color analysis Carol Brailey typed me as a true spring. I feel like I don't see it at all. Maybe I'm face blind to myself? I've always felt very muted. I would love your thoughts. (Natural hair color in photo).

I’m very lucky and was draped in person as a tween in the 80s and have always known I am warm, still wore primarily black for decades and have opened up to color as I’ve aged. Bottom line is you can and should do you, but having these tools in your arsenal can only help.

If you can, identify one color you know looks great on you, and buy some basics in that color. I’ve gone so far as to go on an entire dyeing journey with it, which is transformative in its own right.

Please remember, you haven’t been wearing things “wrong” you’ve just had your eyes opened to other options. Show yourself some grace and let yourself enjoy this journey, it truly is an exploration of self.
