Perfection all around. </p> <p>I also love reading your analysis of what colors you chose to wear. You seem to have really mastered this for yourself and are doing well at the transition you are going through. I need to learn much more about this. Maybe it's time for me to get my colors done although I'm a bit skeptical of people who do this sort of thing...some are very skilled and some are just going through the motions. </p> <p>Love the idea of this type of combination for a warm event where you don't want to wear shorts.</p> <p>I really must try one of those&nbsp;tube skirts.

Your hair has really uplifted your whole look. You looked great before...but now you look sensational.<br /> I have never had my colours done but we shouted my mum once and the lady doing said I was the same as my. Mum. Like me she can wear black easily but she is 80 now and tends to wear grey or another colour with the black. I used to wear so much black my BIL called me the black widow. My mum suggested I could try pink again now my hair is lighter....so I think hair colour does make a difference. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-thanks-to-lisap/page/2#post-1692003 Sun, 10 Jul 2016 09:29:13 +0000 Jaime 1692003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your hair and outfit are sublime.

I will never rule it entirely out of my closet, for that reason alone!</p> <p>Brooklyn, it would be really interesting to do the colour analysis, although honestly, a lot of the people who do it are half crazy, in my opinion, and when they start preaching about near invisible distinctions and don't see colours in relation to one another, I tune out. I do think a general sense of whether warm or cool colours look best can be really helpful. Once I ruled "warm" out of my closet, it simplified my buying. I started looking for the cool colours that I liked best, and ignored those that don't appeal to me.&nbsp;</p> <p>But with the grey hair, there are absolutely changes -- more black, white and grey (which I always wore, but I will wear more of, now). More reds. (Again, I have always loved red but don't wear it a lot). More deeper colours and fewer pale ones -- even chambray blue is "iffy" now, when it used to be the one pastel that really flattered. It's too "dirty" and light now and the combo is a bit deflating, I think.&nbsp;</p> <p>Lisa, I think you are 100% right about the grey/ black issue in winter for me. It is all about feeling overwhelmed by all the grey around me. If I lived in the 'Peg with its bright sun and blue skies, I am absolutely sure I would want to "tone things down" a bit with sophisticated neutrals! As it is, I do wear a lot of navy and charcoal in winter and will probably wear even more of those now with the grey hair -- but I think I will also look even harder for bright scarves, coats, gloves, bags....</p> <p>Interesting what you say about grey and your darker hair -- I felt exactly like that when I had red hair. I didn't like charcoal or black as much on me as I did with blonde hair. Suddenly, chocolate browns and all plums, purples, purply-pinks and aubergines (and greens) became intensely flattering. </p> <p>That is why your outfit the other night was such genius. You had the greens and pinks that are so flattering to your hair, lips, skin, and eyes. You also had the black, but it "popped" against the white, making everything both soft and sharp -- a really nice combo.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-thanks-to-lisap#post-1691886 Sun, 10 Jul 2016 01:26:43 +0000 Brooklyn 1691886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, a lot of the colours that I like (grey, cream, anything beige, stone or "natural") can wash me out. I do like (and can generally wear) olive green, dark brown, rust and autumnal colours. You always look so radiant in your photos. You have helped to make me a convert to knowing and sticking with your best colours. Like Lisa, I am paying attention to your colour successes. But, regardless, to me black is just so chic there will always be times it is irresistible </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-thanks-to-lisap#post-1691879 Sun, 10 Jul 2016 00:55:28 +0000 Anonymous 1691879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz - my colour successes are much the same as yours. &nbsp;Interesting how we take very different approaches to it ! &nbsp;Just as an aside - I rely very heavily on grey, which is not my favourite colour in the summer at all though.....and even less so now that my hair is darker and redder. &nbsp; I think the main reason I can be happy with black and grey in winter is our atmosphere and environment is so much different than yours: &nbsp;clear , almost blindingly bright days as opposed to your heavier light.</p> <p>This is all very interesting and I'm seeing that I can stand to pay more attention to your colour successes as I bet they would work for me too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-thanks-to-lisap#post-1691874 Sun, 10 Jul 2016 00:45:53 +0000 Suz 1691874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, <b>Brooklyn</b>. (And <b>Angela</b>!!)</p> <p><b>Brooklyn,</b> I am completely with you on this. The bit of skin (or white, or some other bit of light --- maybe metallic) makes all the difference in the world. I guess it is just enough. Pearls might do the same if I wore them, but I rarely do.&nbsp;</p> <p>You look brilliant in rich aubergine/ burgundies and dark greens, and I know these are favourites of yours. What other colours do you love to wear?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-thanks-to-lisap#post-1691862 Sun, 10 Jul 2016 00:27:26 +0000 Brooklyn 1691862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How interesting! I should get my colours done. All black is not my best either but I agree with you that skin with all black makes a big difference. I have found wearing my black long sleeve cold shoulder top under a black dress that even just that peek of skin (at my shoulders) lightens the look up for me a lot. And with how you are it wearing here - lots of arm showing (and some white of course) - black looks magic on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-thanks-to-lisap#post-1691859 Sun, 10 Jul 2016 00:25:52 +0000 Angela K 1691859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look beautiful. So chic! Love the top with the skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-thanks-to-lisap#post-1691857 Sun, 10 Jul 2016 00:17:57 +0000 Suz 1691857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Brooklyn</b>, I'm definitely going to wear more black than before, especially in summer, when I can also bare some skin. And also more contrast.&nbsp;</p> <p>I've always worn and liked black, although all-black used to feel like too much dark for me. And during our winters, I crave colour because the landscape around me (relentless grey) depresses the heck out of me.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think all-black will still be (mostly) too heavy for my personal colouring, but black with skin, black with white, black with ink, or black with pops of colour and metallic may turn out to be favourites in the future.&nbsp;</p> <p>I had my colours "done" before joining YLF. When I walked into the room wearing no makeup and a true red shirt (and my highlighted dark blonde hair), the analyst thought I was probably an autumn. Once we got talking, she thought I might be a spring (probably because I'm quite animated in conversation).&nbsp;</p> <p>She put some fabrics up to me and quickly discarded any idea of a "warm" toned season. Yellows and oranges make me look dead.&nbsp;</p> <p>She then assumed I must be some kind of light summer. HA. The pastels made me look even worse than bright orange did.&nbsp;</p> <p>She futzed and futzed and finally called me a true summer...but on consideration, ripped all the lighter colours in true summer's palette out of the wallet she gave me, replacing them with the "cool" (jewel toned) hues of the "cool" wallet (somewhere between winter and summer). She could not understand it because I did not seem to be high contrast enough to balance the deeper hues, yet there was no question that I looked better in mid-tones to darks as compared to lights.&nbsp;</p> <p>I have also -- always -- looked good in high contrast. Not high contrast large prints near my face. <b>No way.</b> But all ink with white collars and cuffs -- that type of contrast. It really sets me off.&nbsp;</p> <p>That is even more obvious now with the silver hair. It's been interesting for sure! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-thanks-to-lisap#post-1691854 Sun, 10 Jul 2016 00:02:50 +0000 AJ 1691854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow, that is a cool top!

I wonder if you should reconsider black, and black and white, with your new colouring.
