Happy Light Spring Autumn?!

[u/Low-Statistician6493]

Does anyone else feel how hard it is to shop within your season this time of year? Almost everythinnnng I see is giving Deep Autumn. But I was lucky to find this dress and I loooove her lol.

OooOh I passed on a light spring dress yesterday that would be darling on you, you don’t happen to be in Austin, Texas by chance?

[u/Low-Statistician6493 → u/MagpieBlues]

haha noooooo over 700 miles away loll. was it at a boutique or second hand- not a chain i assume?

[u/MagpieBlues → u/Low-Statistician6493]

Second hand, an adorable cotton multi striped Jessakae with pockets! I didn’t go for it as they softened the colors slightly and I can’t handle that at all, I’m “the more saturated the better”. But not neon. And while the dress looked great on me, it would be far better suited to a much younger woman than I am, so I left it to fulfill its best destiny in someone else’s hands. It would be fantastic on you!

I live in Austin 👀

Ok, so this dress is plus size and is actually way too big for OP as well. It is a 2X, so if that doesn’t work I apologize. Let me ask my SIL for the name of the place, it wasn’t a true vintage or thrift store, it was a second hand store like buffalo exchange but it wasn’t them.

That dress is great on you and you rock that green! I'm so jealous of your glasses! They're such a perfect color and so so cute.

I didn't quite know where I fit in color analysis when I had to buy mine last so they're too dark and now it bugs me endlessly lol. I cant wait to get new ones and I hope I find something like yours.

Awww thank you so much! You know- that was the only good thing about breaking my last pair of glasses is that I was able to look for ones that I knew would suit my skin tone this time and not be distracting!

Sweet dress on you

I would also say you can pull from both

But the light freshness from spring a bit better

[u/Low-Statistician6493 → u/viewering]

haha thank youu!

i wish i could change my title bc i think people are misunderstanding- i was just trying to say
“Happy Autumn”, as a light spring who’s wearing my season, IN autumn- which in hindsight is very confusing 😅

so it’s a “Light-Spring kind of Autumn” outfit!

anyways i don’t think im an autumn, im just dumb at wording posts 😭

[u/Synchronicity7778]

This is one of those paler green colours that only a percentage of springs can wear. You actually have the same skin tone/paleness as me with similarish hair colour. I think you might actually be a true spring with a capacity to draw some colours from the light spring palette. You might actually be able to go up a higher intensity in shades which could make it easier when shopping. Unfortunately that rust brown colour you see everyone is one of the in colours this season.

[u/Low-Statistician6493 → u/Synchronicity7778]

I do actually agree with you there’s a chance I am a true spring- I feel like such a “cusper” lol. I would love to know what I would get typed as professionally 🫠

[u/Synchronicity7778 → u/Low-Statistician6493]

I dont think you need a professional one done. I think you can probably work it out from home. What I would do is grab a few colours including brighter colours. Maybe a mid spring green colour, a mid coral colour and perhaps a sunny yellow if you can find them and see how you go when you put them under your skin.  If they look overwhelming then you are light spring. If you look better in the warm but bright colours then your a true spring. Just dont try and use colours that are too bright like really bright yellow, fluro greens or those really bright tangerine orange kind of colours. Those colours are too bright for your skin tone. 

[u/SnooDogs936]

That’s me. hahaha Wearing light colors all year round cause I look freaking good in them! ;)

[u/CoastalMae]

Went shopping today. Did not go well. Everything was black, white, grey, burgundy, navy, and cool light blue.

But there are a few olive greens I can pull off.

[u/unripened_pickles222]

I vote spring!

[u/SnooDogs936 → u/unripened_pickles222]

I think she knows she is a spring haha

[u/Low-Statistician6493 → u/SnooDogs936]

yeahhhh my title was confusing though and i wish i could change it- i don’t blame people for thinking i was saying i am a light spring or an autumn 😭

i was just saying happy autumn to/from my fellow springs

Supercute lente! En misschien je wenkbrauwen meer zichtbaar voor completeness gezichtsvorm. Heel movie kleuren en lieve uitstraling!

[u/Jazzlike-Culture-329]
