[Your Color Style] How To Wear Orange, New Color Fans and more...
Published: Sun, 10/06/19
Happy Sunday and October!!
The weather is finally feeling like Autumn in Virginia. LOVE this weather. We enjoyed some wine with friends at a winery yesterday. Outside in the warm sun and cool air. So nice. You should have received an email notifying you of October's THREE trending color reports. If you're a ColorStyle Member, you can access your reports on the Members Only page.
Plus, I sent out a note this week announcing the new color fans. I've given you a lot of details on these delightful color fans a little lower in the newsletter. So, be sure to scroll down to get all the details and order yours today! I received the proofs for them yesterday and they look even better than I hoped. I am in love with the color palettes!
I am feeling so grateful lately. I am so thankful for you, dear reader. I am grateful for your love of color, your desire to learn, your passion for improving yourself and your wonderful letters. I am grateful for your feedback and your love of my products. When I sit to write this newsletter, every Sunday morning, I feel like I'm writing a good friend. I think, what would my good friend want to know? And then I write you and give you as much content, as I can, from my heart.
So, thank you for being here. Thank you for being you. Thank you for reading this week's newsletter. Thank you for ordering your new color fans (or your Color Style Kit) or any of my other products. I appreciate you.
Orange was one of the trending colors this past summer. There are several shades of orange you'll be seeing this fall and winter. Since Orange is going to be so popular AND it's the start of Autumn AND it's the month of pumpkins... I pulled together a post that has all the info to date, on this site, about wearing orange. I found 31 outfit ideas. PLUS, keep an eye
over the next two weeks for ways to wear dark cheddar and sugar almond.
I am so excited about these. I have spent hours on each color palette. There are 12 different color fans. One for each color type. I tweaked each color palette to be just right. I added in-between colors where I felt there was too much of a gap. I adjusted colors to better suit a color type vs just copying and pasting from the main color fan. I created colors that I felt were missing. I broke some rules because some colors just work for a
particular color type. For example, I added a grey green to the Soft Cool and Deep color palette. It's not in the original color Soft & Cool fan. I removed colors and neutrals that I just didn't think were best and only included the those that work well.
Some fans have a couple pages of AVOID. Not every fan has this but I felt it necessary for a few. For example, Bright, Cool and Light wears a light lemon yellow really well. But, it's easy to confuse that with too warm of a yellow. So, I added an AVOID page for the too warm yellows.
Here are the details:
Low price point of $32 vs the original $67. Plus, ColorStyle Members get 10% off.
Small compact size of 2" x 3.5". This is half the size of the original.
Includes only the colors that will look good on you.
Your BEST colors are marked with asterisks
New colors have been added to fill in gaps and to include colors that I know will look great.
Same screw like fastener as the larger color fans
Rounded corners because it's just nicer.
Individually shrink wrapped to avoid damage during shipping
Color names on every block of color
Numbers and letters are included to align with the color wheel
You are going to notice a difference between these color fans and the digital color palettes. There's nothing wrong with the digital color palettes. I will be updating them and, if you have a digital color palette guide, you will find the update in your account. I will send out a note when these have been updated.
Are you excited?!
You can preorder your color fans and they will ship by October 28th. Hopefully sooner. My gut tells me these are going to go fast, so make sure you place your order. These will make amazing holiday gifts, btw. Especially for yourself! Ha!
I don't have the fans in my hand yet, so I don't have photos. BUT, I do have screenshots of the working files, so that you can see the colors in your fan.
Below is an image of the working file for Soft, Warm & Medium...
I received the proofs yesterday and they look soooo good! I have a couple updates to the files and then they will go to production starting Monday. This means that they should be into inventory and ready to ship by the 28th. Hopefully sooner.
These are the colors I've chosen as my color palette for this Fall and Winter. I took into account what I already have, my color type and most importantly, what I just love to wear in the colder weather.
Do you have a question about color analysis, color theory or really... anything? I answer questions out on my YouTube channel once a week. I get asked a LOT of questions and some of the questions really need a photo to go
along with it. So, I've created a more organized process to take in your questions, so that I can answer them thoughtfully in a future video, podcast episode or in this newsletter. If you have a question for me, please visit the new Ask Jen page.
This week, I am able to answer two questions without needing visuals. The questions and answers are right below this button.

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.
