I tried a sweater from Quince from an Instagram ad, and it’s nice enough but it pilled after washing.
I just bought a very high quality blazer at Rag & Bone that fits like it was tailored and looks extremely sharp.
Their jeans are good too. Actually, Good American has really great-fitting jeans that are good for short ppl.
Sounds like you’re a warm autumn.
I feel good in mustard yellow, it’s definitely an autumn color rather than a spring but it’s still warm. My co-worker is Black and has a mustard yellow sweater he looks great in. My most flattering yellow is more bright. Like a daffodil or something.
I don’t think it’s frivolous. It’s important to know what colors suit you because it can keep you from wasting money on clothes. My mom had her colors done in the 80s and has used the guidelines ever since.
while you can probably figure it out from the color palettes online, and I’m not convinced all the draping is necessary, so what, it’s fun.
I feel like those are for people with straight hair that want to make it look like a blowout. My hair is wavy and frizzy so I need to just get a blowout. I don’t want to blow dry it and then put more heat on it. That’s my hot take. I think they work though.
If you’re a winter, you would look good in saturated jewel tones, and black, and white. It’s a cool season, so warm colors wouldn’t flatter you. Spring is warm, and if I wear cool toned tops or makeup, something is definitely off. I can wear a bright clear red like a watermelon, or a tomato red, but definitely not a burgundy or a blue-toned red. Can I detect exactly what’s going on, no, but I don’t look or feel as good.
Girl! My mom had Color Me Beautiful done for her in the early 80s and she had the hardcover book. She is a summer and I have known I was a Spring since I was a little kid. Just a couple weeks ago my mom brought me some stuff of my grandmother’s because she and my dad are clearing out my aunt’s condo (she’s alive, but she’s been in a nursing home for 4 years and her condo needs to be sold. It still has ALL my grandma’s possessions in it, untouched since she passed in 1998, which I don’t think she would have liked). So anyway, I got my grandma’s purse-sized color swatch booklet. It accordions out and has all the little cloth swatches of colors you can wear, so you can take it shopping. She was a Spring too, so her colors are also my colors. It’s a cool thing to have, and it’s got this tiny pamphlet in it about the “Spring Woman,” which is hilariously dated. That said, the Seasons stuff is still going strong today and definitely holds up. You should definitely do it!
I also got a vintage black patent leather purse, a 5-Diamond band that my Great Grandfather gave my Great Grandmother in 1953 which goes well with my wedding rings, my grandmother’s sorority jewelry, and other stuff. She was a blonde stunner, and my grandfather looked like Superman. I really should have been better looking.
Congratulations on the new job, Lady E! I’m sorry you’re struggling with health stuff.
@Copa, it could definitely be a bad cold. I have had a couple of those and tested daily for Covid but still never positive, knock on wood.
I remember this one woman I worked with, we weren’t friends or anything, just co-workers, and she was 50 or 52 or something and one day she kind of cornered me and was telling me how she gained all this weight and even though she was running every day, she couldn’t lose it, and she was freaking out telling me how fat she was and like, “guess what size jeans I wear now, just guess!” And it turned out she had gone from like a size 6 to a 12, which isn’t fat at all, but sure it’s a big change to your body, I get it. And she had the hot flashes too.
I’m 47 and not really feeling it yet, except since I went off the pill I get my period every 3 or 3.5 weeks. And I do run hot so I dread dread dread hot flashes. No thanks.
We were just in Puerto Rico, and it was too breezy for my straw hat. I stayed under an umbrella but my scalp got a bit red in the part of my hair. Watch out for that!
Otherwise I didn’t burn, Or probably even tan. I used fake tan drops in my lotion, and people said I had a glow when I got back.
