[Your Color Style] How to Wear Yellow, Deep Autumn vs Deep Winter and more...
Published: Sun, 07/14/19
Happy Sunday!
I got the proofs for the color palette cards on Thursday. Yay! They look so good and they are super helpful. I'm creating a video on how to use them when deciding on what shade of pink to wear. t really shows you how to use your cards, so it will be public for everyone.
Here's what I love about the cards so far. They are showing me that I was wrong on some of the pinks!!! I bought a couple tops that I thought were for bright and warm... nope. Using the color palette cards, I could see that they were more bright and cool instead of warm. Which totally bums me out with regard to this one summery shawl. It's really too cool for me. Might wear it anyway (#colorrebel). Even I (your masterful color guru) will be
carrying my cards with me shopping. The lights in the store really skew the colors. There was a "dusty pink" top that I thought "That's perfect for soft and cool!". Brought it home and it's WARM! Really eye opening experience.
The video showing you all of this will be posted within the next day or so. If you want to be emailed when the video is posted, click here.
I could go on forever on this topic because I love studying color. I've got a new video for you and fun post on wearing yellow plus some awesome announcements for the ColorStyle members. Read on!
Your biggest request in the survey was "How do I pull it all together? How do I wear my colors in stylish ways?" This is our response to your request...
Color Type Fashion is a new benefit of the ColorStyle Membership. Sharon, my amazing more-than-a-project-manager, came to me a few weeks ago with this idea. She saw the MANY requests for links to the items we share in the outfit ideas and decided to spin up her own business, Color Type Fashion. Your Color Style has partnered with Color Type Fashion so that we can provide
ColorStyle members outfit ideas in YOUR colors with shopping links! I'm so excited!!
Join the Color Type Fashion private Facebook group. This is where you'll see regular postings of outfits, your shopping guides... plus share how you wore the outfit idea and inspire others... and be inspired.
Every couple of days, you will see a new outfit idea posted for a specific color type. It may not always be in your color type, but you will still get lots of ideas. I'll be around to chime in on the outfits.
Inside the Your Color Style Facebook group, I asked you how you wear yellow. I got a TON of responses. I've compiled them with my personal notes to help you learn what shade of yellow will look best on you.
Your color palette card set will make shopping fun and easy.

What is the difference between deep autumn and deep winter? They are both deep. They both seem to have dark eyes and dark hair. So, how can you tell if you are a deep autumn or a deep winter?

HOW you wear a signature set of colors that LOVE you
as much as you love them.
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.
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. Color transformed my life. It is now my mission to help you get through whatever transition is going on in your life through color.
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
Be more of your kick ass self that you already are
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.
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.
