The fashion color report gave so many interesting color combo ideas that I want to play with. i Khaki and metallic gold, grey and mint green with a hint of rose, cocoa and sand w/ plum, mustard and deep purple and pistachio and grey are just a few.
Thank you for getting the creative energy flowing on an icy day.

I like dried herb because it should work well with my skin tone, although I’ll probably wear it more as an olive. I love grey with violet and grey with yellow, so I’m sure I’ll work those in too. Apricot is intriguing, I bet it’s flattering near the face. It’s kind of a sophisticated version of pink.

Thinking about spring is fun!

Also, I just saw someone wearing shoes in that lemony yellow color yesterday… well, ballet slippers actually, at the Nutcracker, and I noticed them all the way from the second balcony and wondered why I never thought of the fabulous possibility of lemon yellow shoes… bright without being bright!

However, I’m surprised fuchsia didn’t make it on the list. I even thought the color next to turquoise must be fuchsia (perhaps my color settings are not true?). I went to a wedding recently, and fuchsia was much more prevalent than red, even a week before Christmas.

Anyway, if violet/lavender/mauve is the it color, it will be a sad day for me, since I still haven’t recovered from spring in Italy, 2000… there was more of that unfortunate color than I ever hope to see for the rest of my life.

Violet was actually a big color circa 2001. I remember because it was my favorite color at the time and I was tickled seeing it in abundance in Express and elsewhere. I fondly remember my purple swirl mini skirt that I bought at that time.
