Most of my wardrobe is black, grey, white and khaki...i do own some coloured and pattern tops but when ever i put them on i just dont feel right. I do love a stripy blue and white top but thats as exciting as it gets.
My colouring should suit jewel colours which i do own but they dont look right, my partner moans about the black but isnt sure when i wear colour.
Did have a session with a personal shopper at debenhams a few years ago and i ended up buying patterns and colour but never wore - actually the clothing was quite frumpy.
