Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You're probaly a cool and bright then.

I don't think so -- I'm pretty sure I'm warm. I mean, maybe -- I think some of those colors on the page are good for me, but I really think that about brown, too! But then, maybe I'm fooling myself. I should look in the mirror, maybe.

Before we did the colors, my mom had always insisted on wearing black for dressing up. It wasn't until after she found out she was a fall that she went to buying browns, which worked so much better for her. She still pulls out black occasionally, but I keep telling her to use brown instead.

Knowing Jesse, I'd say she could easily be a winter.

But, there are a lot of people who think they look good in black when it's really not their best color.

Maybe when I do juliana's closet overall, you should come and I'll do your colors!

Actually holding things up to your face in good light is key. I took everything in my closet and did that in front of a mirror. I made four piles: def. good, def. bad, okay, and I have no idea. Afterwards, I compared the piles to the Color Me Beautiful Book. The def. bad were mostly fall (and 1 spring) and the def. good (which I didn't have a lot of) were summer. The okay pile was all winter. It was pretty clear.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

WHOO!!!!!

I wouldn't rely on the link to the swatch site. Using just hair makes it very unreliable.

Especially since they don't really have red (not that I expect them to have my unnatural shade, but if I were true auburn or ginger, I'd have a hard time picking).

I can't even really find myself on the Trinny & Susannah thing, though I think I'm a cool & bright. Though, I like black, I feel comfortable in black, so I'm going to continue to wear it even if I'm told not to.

I was obsessed with Color Me Beautiful when I was about 13. I'm a summer. The thing is, it's hard when your personality doesn't match your colors very well. I look absolutely stunning in lavendar, but there are times when one doesn't FEEL like a walking Laura Ashley advertisement, n'est-ce pas?

I feel like Jesse- I can wear dark things, bright things, and warm things-- just not light things. I get the most compliments when I wear brown and orange red, but sometimes when I where blue, fuschia or purple, I also get compliments, although it may just be because those are bright and different colors for me. I need an impartial observer!

I also feel like the last time we had this conversation, Jesse and I were both like--"I can't wear colored pants!"

Clearly, flea, you need to buy the aqua Trixie dress. It's calling you.

The Trixie dress is not built for my telephone-pole figure, alas.
