#True autumn soft gamine free#
I don't think that more is necessary for everyday life (as to: "who wouldn't want to look their best?" - well, I don't, except on extremely rare special occasions it's just not something I find worth to think about a lot, my goal is to have a wardrobe that works for me - comfort, free movement, functionality in terms of weather and activities, easy to care for, easy to combine, no more not-worn items). Also, an excuse for no longer having to wear white, pink or lots of black.

The remaining benefit from this conundrum is for me to be able to avoid my worst colors near the face, a very coordinated wardrobe in spite of containing various seasons, and to observe people and their color choices, as it tells a lot about them. If a working system existed, it would be easy for people to assess themselves and then be happy with the results once and for all. In the end, I believe the system is deeply flawed, although so very alluring. When I put all the garments I truly love on a separate pile, I can see that I have now roughly an SA/SS wardrobe for summer (with a few bright accents sprinkled in) and a DA/dark SA wardrobe for winter. How do I feel in it? No mirror, no photos, no opinions from others. So I went back to assessing each garment individually. Like buying a new shirt, being all happy about it, until doubt sets in - what if I'm not in that season after all? It's just ridiculous. It turned out to be yet another trap for being afraid of errors and self-sabotage. Maybe I'm even DA or TS, but I hate most cool colors, so those are not an option (the smoke in SA makes them quite bearable). After going back and forth between Dark Autumn, Soft Autumn and Soft Summer off and on for a long time, I could never figure out if I'm warm or cool, or too soft for Dark Autumn (though dark enough very probably), nor could anyone else I asked for an opinion (including a few painters and fellow artists). It doesn't seem to be a value contrast issue so much as that he needs some darkness, but not too much. Dark Autumn seems to be the closest, but he does best in the relatively lighter and brighter colors from that palette. He can't do softness, but he also can't wear black. He's most definitely an Autumn, but he can't do saturated colors, so not True Autumn. My partner seems to fall between seasons, and it's a bit frustrating. I'm Soft Summer and can get away with Soft Autumn colors and a few Dark Winter colors, but saturation makes me look like death. My sister needed the warmth more than the softness, for instance, while my daughter and mother needed both. It was really interesting to see how what was most important to people varied. I'm surrounded :') I used your draping cards for them (and for several other people of different seasons, so I don't think determining that so many people I know are Soft Autumn was due to an unconscious bias). Your best Kettlewell colours: paprika, chilli, light sand, tan, chocolate, chestnut marl, russet, peacock, moss, turtle green, dark olive, old gold, ochre, yellow ochre.My daughter, mother, sister, and two friends are Soft Autumn. Your best colours are rust red, mustard yellow, medium olive green and mid-browns and camels.

#True autumn soft gamine skin#
Often a True Autumn will look like a 'typical' autumn, with reddish toned hair, light brown or green eyes and fair celtic skin that goes golden in summer. This is the season we think of as the 'typical' autumn colours - the ones you see on an autumn tree in leaf or the ready to harvest fields of corn and wheat. This week, we'll be looking at Autumn colours. If you fall at one end of, say, the Summer palette, it doesn't mean you can't ever wear colours from other areas of the palette you may have been given, just that this particular area is the very best part of the best palette for your personal skin tone and contrast level. Week three already! We've already explored the different types of Spring and Summer, so this week is Autumn's turn.Īs I always say, it's important to note that your seasonal type is a guide, not a rule book.

When discussing each season I will try to use the most commonly understood terms of each type, but please do contact us if you feel we've and missed out a term that would help colour analysis clients understand their season. This is the third of four blog posts, exploring the different 'types' of each season.
