Zaeobi, no worries. You’ve summed up one of the reasons I prefer Autumn/Winter dressing to Spring/Summer - the earthy and darker colours are better for me and they feel right in cool weather. I agree jewel colours are a good compromise. Not the best colours for me, but not bad. Plus I enjoy them (not so keen on pastels). I like them for summer. I will wear an emerald green, sapphire blue or dark red in Spring/Summer. They feel fresher in the humidity than the earthy colours. My other trick is to wear pattern on bottom. That way I can introduce some contrast and lightness but still wear a good “face colour”.
Suz, thanks! I could do a Marilyn. Point me to the nearest subway grate.
And thanks birdie77!
