If your cashmere sweaters are in fits that you want to wear and colors that you like, I'd suggest hanging on to them, even if they're not the best colors for you. You can look for coordinating scarves that have your good colors to wear with them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-draping-results-not-soft-autumn/page/2#post-1376945 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 13:42:39 +0000 Meredith 1376945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! What a fun discovery. Just my two cents, but I wouldn't replace your lovely, high quality things with cheap ones just in the name of color. You already have experience playing with scarves, toppers, etc to make your less than ideal colors work. Sure, ditch the really off colors, but don't feel like you should change everything overnight. Easy for me to say without seeing the dramatic differences between drapes, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-draping-results-not-soft-autumn/page/2#post-1376940 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 13:33:07 +0000 Windchime 1376940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sounds like an incredibly successful and productive color analysis! You must be thrilled. Good luck with the hair coloring. We will look forward to watching your style evolve. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-draping-results-not-soft-autumn#post-1376933 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 13:22:43 +0000 Alassë 1376933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, what a reversal! I'm eager to see your new look. I predict you'll want to revamp your wardrobe, even if over a few years - there's no going back once you see how "your" colours make you glow. </p> <p>Don't forget the lighter purples - those look amazing on light summers, too (my daughter is one). I agree with the blues - almost any shade of light (not powder/ultra pale), dusty, or muted blue looks good (navy is too strong). All light-medium pinks are wonderful, and light heather gray/taupe/off white&nbsp;are good neutrals. And as I'm sure you know, orange is banned. I'll wear your pumpkins and you can wear the pinks I love from afar, okay? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-draping-results-not-soft-autumn#post-1376903 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 12:38:16 +0000 Anonymous 1376903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It was great to read your post.mi wish someone would invent a machine that could figure out your best colors. Sephora has one for finding the best foundation match. Perhaps someone could tweak it to find your true season. Hmmm, sounds like something that could make someone lots of money?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-draping-results-not-soft-autumn#post-1376887 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 12:14:55 +0000 Staysfit 1376887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much everyone! </p> <p>Marley, you are so on track with your hair color suggestion! That's pretty much exactly what Kerry wrote down for me! </p> <p>Astrid, thanks for the coat suggestion! </p> <p>Firecracker, I think it was happenstance that I picked the colors I wore yesterday. It was unusually warm outside and I wanted to be comfortable because I had a lot of driving. It's atypical for me to wear a t-shirt to work. I actually don't have many clothes in this palate. </p> <p>I am a little worried about that, not knowing what I will wear. Obviously I can't replace my entire wardrobe! That would be too expensive and cumbersome. I am thinking about how I can deal with that. Perhaps I can sell/consign some of my cashmere sweaters. I don't know how much I can get for them? I can also go to get some less expensive items to start and plan on replacing them as my budget allows. </p> <p>Joy, you are correct, the primary neutrals are fairly light, and include many shades of gray and some taupes and a few Browns. Kerry was very clear that I should wear the neutrals mostly on the bottom, and only the lightest of them on the top. I suspect if I get the right shades they won't wash me out. She said winter white and oyster are going to be great colors for me and the aquas, blues and turquoises were as well. I was very surprised at how good the silver looked. I never realized that I could wear either silver or gold. I look good in both. Most surprising were the pinks. I can wear pink and never knew it, but looking at the colors, I have to say that when I redecorated my bedroom as a teenager. I used colors from this palette. I must have had the instinct then!</p> <p>Thanks again for the support everyone. I am anxiously looking forward to this afternoons hair appointment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-draping-results-not-soft-autumn#post-1376869 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 11:10:17 +0000 Jenny H 1376869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so glad you feel confident about the results this time! It sounds like your colors were a challenging case but you finally found a good color analyst!</p> <p>Welcome to the cool side! (I'm a winter). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-draping-results-not-soft-autumn#post-1376853 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 08:02:44 +0000 Anonymous 1376853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whoot! it's such fun having your colours done. I'm so pleased for you and very much looking forward to the resulting outfits and photos. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-draping-results-not-soft-autumn#post-1376840 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 07:00:31 +0000 Astrid 1376840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow, congratulations on finding your colors! Can't wait to see the results, of the hair color and in general. I also vote update the glasses, if not for color then for a more modern style. </p> <p>If you're looking for a wool coat - Angie recommended this Boden coat in one of her lists a while ago and I think the Porcelain Blue would be awesome on you:<br /><a href="http://www.bodenusa.com/en-US/Womens-Coats-Jackets/Coats/WE465/Womens-Ingrid-Coat.html?NavGroupID=2" rel="nofollow">http://www.bodenusa.com/en-US/.....vGroupID=2</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-draping-results-not-soft-autumn#post-1376836 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 06:52:04 +0000 Nicola 1376836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a triumph! And there are so many fantastic summer colours in the shops...or at least there are where I live. Have a wonderful time hunting for you-ish pieces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-draping-results-not-soft-autumn#post-1376817 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 05:15:05 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1376817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, that's kind of a shock, isn't it? Were you wearing the colors that are in your light summer palette when you showed up there today (i.e., when you were dressed like the color consultant)? So have you been choosing some of the right colors, despite their absence from your "palette"? Glad you got a consultation that makes sense! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-draping-results-not-soft-autumn#post-1376801 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 04:16:29 +0000 Gigi 1376801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so glad that you finally found your colors and are confident that these are the ones!

It looks like your primary neutral is a shade of grey as there are lots of grey tones on that color selection. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-draping-results-not-soft-autumn#post-1376785 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 03:57:32 +0000 Golden 1376785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How very exciting, I am so looking forward to your "after" pics!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-draping-results-not-soft-autumn#post-1376779 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 03:44:22 +0000 Jaime 1376779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So interesting!

And how exciting for you. You are getting so many things figured out all at the same time. I can't wait to see what your hairdresser does. I vote for some low-lights too. This will add dimension and give you a little more contrast. Cool colors in the taupe family would work well. Good luck and I can't wait to read more about your colors and your wardrobe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-draping-results-not-soft-autumn#post-1376767 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 03:27:47 +0000 deb 1376767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is so exciting and I know exactly how you feel.
