"That is SO your color!"
Thursday, July 03, 2014Please keep in mind as you're reading this that for the past 5 years or so I've been desperately trying to break the habit of resorting to black clothing when all else fails. My creativity isn't exactly kickin' at 6:00am, so if I can find a long black sleeve shirt and slacks in my closet, I'm set and on my way.
It's so funny, actually. If I wear my hair in a different style everyone's like, "Carson! Holy crap! You look great!" and I'm like, "...Thank you? All I did was wash my hair."
Today has been an epiphany though. I actually got up early, actually tried to look presentable, and actually put a red shirt and pencil skirt on. RED! I've been told 3 separate times today that red is my color. I kindly say "thank you!" and move on with my life. However, today I thought a little more about it and wonder, what does that really mean? Red is my color? What if I don't like red? Is it still my color? Ugh. The questions. The mystery.
I have fairly fair skin. Did I just say fairly fair? I'm pale. And Irish. So.. there's that. I have medium brown/blonde/confused hair and blue eyes. I have red in my cheeks and pink in my skin. If someone were to ask me what I thought my color is I would say royal blue. It brings out the color in my eyes and that's usually my goal when getting dressed and putting my makeup on.
I think I'm going to try to step out of my color comfort zone and buy some new things tonight at the mall. My hubby and I have a shopping date - he's so excited to hold my shopping bags. Not really.
What is your color? What do you think looks best on your skin tone?
