What Color Are You?

Read on to find what colors look best for your skin tone: Are you Winter, Summer, Autumn or Spring?

Why is it that when you slip into that fabulous red dress or your favourite blue shirt, your spirit is instantly lifted? That special piece of clothing can make you feel beautiful and radiant. Aside from the fit and material, the color could be the major attraction.

Color is our best weapon when it comes to fashion. A flattering shade can give your skin and appearance a healthy glow. Conversely, the wrong hue can give you a sickly, washed-out appearance.

Colors and Seasons

Your complexion and coloring determines which colors work best on you. Take careful analysis of your skin tone, natural hair color and eye color. To help find the undertone color of your skin, look at the inside of your arm in natural daylight. Then, with the help of the list below, decide which season most accurately describes your complexion. Once you know your season, you will have a personalized guideline of colors and shades that work best for you.

Winter

Winter is a cool tone. People with winter complexions have blue or pink/rosy undertones. Skin can be pale and porcelain white, yellowish-olive, or dark. Winters are generally brunettes with deeply colored eyes. Many Asians and African Americans fall into this category. Natural white-
blonds may also be winters.


Best Colors for Winter

Those with the winter color profile have a lot of depth to their coloring and a lot of contrast between their hair color, eye color and skin tone. Winters should wear hues that are sharp, stark and clear. You will look best in intense, rich colors, like black, navy blue, red, and hot pink. These powerful shades will compliment your coloring. For lighter colors, wear bright white or icy pastels, such as like cool blues, pinks and yellows.
Worst Colors for Winter

Avoid dressing in earthy tones and subdued colors like beige, orange and gold. They will make you look faded and ashen.

Summer


Summer is also a cool tone and like winter complexions, the summers among us have blue or pink undertones. Skin is very pale and pink. Summer coloring usually occurs in natural blonds, and even pale-skinned brunettes with pale eyes. If you’re a trying to discriminate between winter and summer, winters are usually brunettes and summers are mostly natural blonds.

Best Colors for Summer

Summers have a low level of contrast between their hair, eye color and skin tone. For you to look your best, choose soft neutrals and pastels, as well as muted colors with cool undertones. Powder blue, dusty pink, mauve, lavender, plum, and pale yellow are all great color choices.
Worst Colors for Summer

Avoid intense, vivid hues because they will look harsh and drown you out. Nor should you wear earth tones. Stay away from black and orange.

Autumn

Autumn is a warm tone and people with this complexion have golden undertones in their skin, like a pale peach, golden beige or golden brown. Many redheads and brunettes with golden brown eyes fall into this category. However, golden blond and black hair coloring can also fall into this range.

Best Colors for Autumn

You have a lot of depth to your coloring and skin tone. Rich golden, spicy and earthy colors will accent your complexion. Therefore, look for a warm undertone when selecting a color. You can wear both muted and rich warm colors that are seen in autumn leaves and spice colors, such as
camel, beige, olive, orange, gold, and dark brown. You will also look great in a rich warm grey.
Do you not just love this dress? I am partial because I am an Autumn too.
Worst Colors for Autumn

Stay away from clear, bright colors and black and white, which will make your look tired and faded. Also steer clear of pastels and blue tones, which will look cold against your complexion and give you a pale appearance.

Spring

Spring is also a warm tone. People of this complexion have subtle golden undertones and are usually creamy white or peach. Springs have extremely light, ivory skin color. People of this coloring are usually natural golden blonds, auburn, or strawberry blond redheads. Springs also have very clear, light blue and green coloured eyes. Freckles and rosy cheeks are also characteristics of this group.

If you can’t decide weather you are an autumn or a spring, springs tend to have pale eyes while autumns have dark eyes.


Best Colors for Spring

Springs can wear very pale, soft colors, such as peach, camel, golden yellow,golden brown, and aqua. You will also look fabulous in ivory, bright greens, true reds, clear blues and coral.

Your colors may be particularly hard to find because they can never be too muted or too dark.

Worst Colors for Spring

Avoid black and white, which are too contrasting for you. Also stay away from dark, dull colors.

And even if you can’t determine your “season”, you will often know when a color looks great on you. The perfect color has the astonishing ability to brighten your look and lift your spirit!

World Shoe & Accessories Convention in Vegas

Level 1 of 3 of the WSA--my feet started hurting just thinking about all the floors; yet they were already drooling (feet do that, some call it sweat) at all the amazing new styles.
This year's shoe convention, WSA-It Pays to Think Inside the Box, was amazing. Not only is it amazing to see all the new styles of shoes, but just the amount of work, creativity, and effort that goes into these trade show booths is inspiring.
One thing is for sure, you don't want to be wearing any of these sexy shoes below the day of the convention; I would actually recommend some type of orthopedic/athletic shoe. After 3 stories of nothing but shoes at the Mandalay Bay, I'm surprised I still have feet.

This year's theme--catchy don't you think?
Just some of the amazing trade show booths these companies come up with.
This booth was my favorite--I wished I could have taken more pictures, but it was complete with black crystal chandeliers. I wanted to live there.
New MaryJane-style pumps-get on my feet!
Denim and Studs--look for it this season
Who isn't a sucker for these chained, jeweled flats. It's like heavy metal meets comfortable
Just looking at these sandals made me dream of far away beaches and sunshine.

Taking last year's style and giving it some depth--can't go wrong here.
Classic shape with some stitching--It's "sew" cute, and with patent leather material--just stop.
Again with the sunshine and beaches, but maybe for lunch at a cafe in the Mediterranean
We saw this sandal in quite a few places--I love the color and movement
So we've toyed with the idea of starting a little girls line--this definitely increased our desire--Can we say Twigglets? What mom doesn't want her daughter wearing these little sandals?!
The clog sandals! Earthy leather and wood soles give a boho vibe, but the platform and super-high heel up the sex appeal.
Let's just say we learned a lot and are super excited for this upcoming year and all the new fashions!
