Do you have a colour you always beeline to? You know the one you always feel good in, and you always end up buying in the shops?
Woman often gravitate to certain colours because they look good in them or they are a favourite colour, mines red. I had red roses for my wedding, I nearly always have a pair of red shoes in my wardrobe, we called our daughter Scarlett, when I wear red lippy its adds to my confidence, most patterns I’m drawn to have a bit of red in them etc .....
Colours I feel great in are coral, black & teal greens. Metallic’s, reds, floral’s and stripes are my favourites for accessories.
When I wear coral I think my skin glows and looks great, it’s my bit of bright when I want a pop of colour & teal greens are my version of blue. I don’t really do lots of blues as they always feel flat on me but navy’s and teals seem to speak to me, they remind me of the colour of ducks feathers and water.
I’m not really a bling girl either when it comes to diamantes and jewels but I am a magpie for shoes, bags and jewellery in silver and gold’s. I always feel a bit glamorous, and it lifts an outfit that would otherwise be plain.
Floral’s and stripe’s are my patterns. I’m not really into girly floral in my clothing but love Cath Kidston vibes for homewares etc and love a floral lining/trim on clothing or floral accessories (I even own floral boots!). Stripes however are my basics, I always have a few black and white stripe options for the mornings when I want plain but not too boring.
BLACK, now I know what you are thinking, “a stylist should be the picture of perfect colours, matching her skin tone....” blah blah blah, well I call bull sh*t!! I love the smartness of black, I feel polished and sophisticated. I use often use my black outfits to stand out, not hide behind, I like the dramaticness (I know that isn’t actually a word, but it seems to work!).
So that’s me in a nutshell, a bit of bright, a bit of stripe, a bit of pretty and a lot of sparkle! What sums you up? Talk soon,
Vicki xx
