I look best in warm Autumn and rich jewel colours so this time of year is great. If I have a grey / black outfit I use a colourful scarf or warm jewellery near my face otherwise I can look a bit drawn. The mood board is a great idea I have always kept a folder of magazine / catalogue tear outs if I see something I like the colour or shape of - I suppose that is similar. I am looking for ideas on reducing my wardrobe though I do need a lot of clothes for work - they seem to wear very quickly so I tend to buy inexpensive things.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5701097386033513768.post-12176097319750650132014-02-21T16:34:15.479+00:002014-02-21T16:34:15.479+00:00I love the idea of your colour board.

I am always drawn in the shops to any clothes in that colour! Since you pointed me in the direction of reducing my wardrobe, I too have found that restricting the wardrobe to a number of complimenting colours, helps to create many different variations of outfits.

It's one of those colours that suits everyone, too!<br /><br />For a truly bright and colourful, if slightly mad, minimalist wardrobe, have a look at Xandra's for inspiration; she combines some amazing things and seems to find an outfit for every occasion!!http://fashionablylight.com/my-project-333-list/ (perhaps no longer completely appropriate at our age but inspiring, nevertheless!!)Swissrosehttp://www.thelittlewashhouse.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5701097386033513768.post-18853166610329700202014-02-20T05:21:54.139+00:002014-02-20T05:21:54.139+00:00I think a jewel toned teal like the ones you have ...I think a jewel toned teal like the ones you have here look good on almost everyone. <br /><br /> I, too, have a problem with the Colour Me Beautiful system. I think it may be too in-depth, I need simplicity.
