Hi there!
We're finally enjoying a typical UK Summer which means you don't know what will happen from one day to the next! But we are having some beautiful days so certainly no complaints.
I'm always impressed by how many of you cope so elegantly with the fierce heat in your own countries.
So I'm talking all things Summer today and enjoying a flashback to my recent holiday (luckily enough back to Mauritius).
But whether it's the beach or backyard pool, if you choose your swimwear and coverup carefully to flatter your body shape you'll always look your best.
Whether it's a vacation, staycation or the local splash pool, flattering swimwear is a MUST when you're older!
Swimwear is always top of my list when packing for holiday/vacation. Not that I'm a swim junkie (completely the opposite) but, like most of us, I am at my most vulnerable when I'm baring, or nearly baring, all.
The colors of the SUMMER Season are probably the prettiest of all the color palettes with the deliciously pretty tones of an English country garden.
But many people are under the impression that Summer is just for blondes with pale and pretty pastels. Not so!
The soft berry shades, smudgy blues and misty sea greens are deeper than you might expect and the effect is subtle, sultry and almost sensuous!
Denise has recently given up work and I think many of you will empathise with her situation. Without the need to put together an outfit and dress up, she found herself pulling on a pair of jeans in the morning and quickly got out of the habit of making the best of herself.
Being at home during Covid produced the same sort of comments from many of you. While we have a route map to the day ahead it's quite straight forward to know how to dress. Once that's taken away you may find yourself floundering, often gaining weight and, in essence, just losing your way.
Although she's worn most colors happily over the years Denise suddenly found herself reaching for black more often than not and found herelf in a downwards spiral. It's not unusual in your middle years to suddenly question the colors you've been happily wearing for ever but once you do then confidence can quickly drain away!
Along comes Color Analysis and Denise discovered that most of her wardrobe did lean towards Cool shades which are perfect for her coloring; a great confidence boost in itself. Having a definite color direction to follow helped to focus her mind too. A few tweaks with a hair toner and change of makeup colors and Denise says: "My interest in clothes, makeup and myself has been completely reignited!" My pleasure!
You may notice that Denise's natural coloring initially seems a little lighter than many other COOL colorings but her bright eyes need and deserve the clarity of this color palette.
