Ok, so got my colours done by HOC and turns out I?m a winter. A bit of a surprise as I?m blonde with blue eyes so not exactly your classic raven haired winter a la Liv Tyler.
My difficulty is that after years of cultivating my very boring but safe look of ?classic elegance? (think cream tops with blue/khaki trousers, brown loafers, tan accessories, camel coats, understated gold jewellery etc) I?m at a loss at how to achieve the same expensive look with the bright winter colours. My best colours as per HOC are brilliant white, charcoal gray but also very bright magenta and emerald green. The consultant said my jewellery should be sparkly silver coloured and shoes, bags etc black rather than brown.
How do I make the bright winter colours look expensive and classic without it costing the earth? I have allocated a small budget for my make over but still can?t afford actual expensive so will have to be a little bit creative. My main problem is black leather for shoes and bags which to me always tends to look cheaper than brown leather (though maybe I?m just a bit stuck in my ways?). I?m very comfortable with my ?style? so it?s just the colours that I need to change somehow but don?t know how, I don?t want to end up looking trashy/cheap/blingy.
Any winters out there who can help me? Any celeb examples I could use as inspiration?
