I created a really fun video explaining colors you can wear that are the perfect alternative to wearing red. So, scroll down and check that out.

Do you celebrate Valentine's Day? I used to not celebrate it. It's just another day. However, I secretly wanted to do something on Valentine's Day. I secretly wanted my husband to treat me in a special way. I never really requested what I wanted (that's on me) and my husband, at the time, just didn't think it was a big deal. NOW, I told Joe what I wanted and he is happy to celebrate the day. This weekend, we have booked multiple things to do. I can't wait! I even
bought a sweater with hearts all over it for a wine tasting. My point? Ask for what you want. Don't stay quiet and wish someone can read your mind.  💖

In Colorful U, the members have been working through the Colorful You program to explore and define their Signature Style. Last month, we went through Taking Stock as a group. This month, we are working on our style vision. If you know your color type, join us on the next phase of your colorful journey. We are having so much fun doing this together. I love it.

What's New in Colorful U
In Case You Missed It:Â February Color Palette of the Month
Jen shares with an amazing alternative to wearing red for Valentine's Day. Red is your power color. If you want to wear a color that's not so bold, try wearing your blushing colors. Watch the video to learn what your blushing colors are and how to wear them.
Your signature colors are the colors that are authentically you. In this video, I show you how to create a custom color fan in your signature colors using the new color fans and your color guide.
Each color has the color name, color wheel number and temperature
Unique color names (no more duplicate color names between fans)
New and/or refined colors for some of the color palettes
A hole drilled through them but no screw
You will receive one shrink wrapped pack of colors and a second shrink wrapped pack of ALL your neutrals. Your neutrals pack will be ALL of the warm or cool neutrals plus the universal neutrals. For light, medium and deep.Â
Your color fan will include the new color guide where you will find videos on how to customize your color fan to suit your needs
There will not be a ring to assemble the cards but I will refer you to an inexpensive option. I hope to offer something in the future but it's a bit tricky with costs.Â
I'm excited about this format because it will
allow you to customize your colors. You can remove the colors you don't like or wear. You can create smaller capsule color sets. You can take just a few colors with you shopping when looking for something specific. I, personally, only wear about 10 of my colors in a season. When you create for yourself a color palette for a season, your shopping becomes more efficient and focused and you create more outfits with less. We are tackling these concepts in Colorful U.
There's new content in Colorful U this month and there's more to come!

In Case You Missed It: February Color Palette of the Month
I used this month's featured trending color, Leprechaun and the color of the year, Very Peri to create February's color palette. You'll see both colors in the stores. This color palette will help you find creative and stylish ways to wear these to popular colors.
Colorful U is a learning community and online school
that teaches you to cultivate your personal style with confidence. We are on a mission to inspire women to creatively express and OWN who they truly are.

Here's how it will work:

We help women wear their signature colors in creative ways that express who they truly are.
Â
A few years ago, I found myself divorced, grieving over losing my oldest daughter and truly lost. I had forgotten what it was like to have true joy in my life. Did I ever really know? I didn't know who I was or what truly made me happy.Â
Â
As I went through the process of learning about myself, I founded Your Color Style. Identifying the colors that make you feel amazing is a simple step you can take to build your confidence and self image. Color transformed my life. It is how I express ME. It is now my mission to help you connect to your true self and wear colors that make you shine... so that you can feel more like you again.
Â
Rediscover:
Who you are
What truly brings you joy
Who you really want to be and to own it
How to stop being a certain way for someone else
How to express your true authentic self
Where do you start?

LEARN What Colors Flatter You (aka Your Color Style Type)
I am a HUGE believer that the more you know about color, the more you know the colors that flatter you best. LEARNING is key to understanding what colors really work for you.Â
Once you know your color type, you'll want your complete color palette in your hand so that you can start to edit your wardrobe and shop with confidence.
