An Autumn girl through and through!




The other day I had my colours done by a fantastic lady called Mandy Pitcher, who specialises in being a colour specialist.... Basically, that means that she tells people what colours suit them the best and also what season they should be wearing.  That way your colours are all categorised into a respective group that blends together and enables you to create a capsule wardrobe!  Voila!

She very kindly took time out of her hectic schedule to come to my place of work and for half an hour draped various coloured fabric over my shoulders to see which colours worked best with my complexion... This was so new to me and I was so excited to find out!!



I had never noticed before how important eye colour is and how it determines what colours can work well on you or not.  It turns out that my once blue/green eyes are now green/grey ones and change colour when certain shades are applied to my skin.... It's all really fascinating!



After a good twenty five minutes of constant colour styling, (although my complexion was seeming a real challenge, because of my changing eye colour and how I could get away with summer colours), she eventually came to the conclusion that my seasonal colour palette for myself was Autumn!  I was so overjoyed, because my all time favourite season in terms of fashion, is surprise, surprise... AUTUMN!



I instantly asker her what colours I was therefore allowed to dress myself in... And here is the overall verdict:-



Golds
Khaki
French navy
Black
Burgundy
Cranberry
Aubergine
Plum
Mustard
Tan
Camel
Rust
Tomato Red
Brown
Ivory
Teal
Pale Olive
Cappuccino
Taupe



And so the colours that I cannot wear are:-
Silver
Grey
Charcoal
Pale colours
Pale blue
White
Pink
Yellow
Bright colours

I was so thankful for her service and for taking time to see me.  After mentioning to her that I'm getting married next year and having shown her pictures of my wedding dress, she very kindly offered to finish our styling session at her studio as her wedding present to me.... I honestly couldn't believe her when she said that... What a lovely person?  I shall definitely be taking that extremely generous offer up with her in the next few weeks and I shall buy a beautiful bouquet as a thank you!

Have you ever had your colours done?  If not, then what are your favourite colours to wear?
