What colours should I wear?

I am very unsure about colour. I'd love to have a proper colour analysis done but couldn't afford it at the moment. I have very, very pale blue-toned skin. Pale blue / green / grey eyes and brown hair with gingery tones. I'd be very interested if anyone knows what colours I might suit. I feel like I need more colour in my life before I become a beige 40 something...

Its hard to say. I was convinced I was a winter but turns out I'm an Autumn. The colour analysis was worth it imo.

There's no way to be sure without a proper draping but from your description Autumn sounds likely. Check out some websites and look for examples with similar colouring. Try the Truth is Beauty website or Color your World.
If you do manage to figure it out, remember that wearing the right lipstick is as important as wearing the right clothes. That was my biggest surprise about the whole experience
I know 100 quid is a lot of money but it will save you much much more than that in clothing mistakes, believe me :-)

I don't usually wear lipstick, gloss occasionally. I'll have a look at what autumn means and see if I've got anything in those colours. I am tempted to ask for a proper analysis for Xmas!

It may be a bad sign that I've just pissed myself laughing at the photo of the nearest colour consultant to me.

I did exactly the same. The house of colour website is atrocious. Shame because the product is excellent but it's somewhat ironic that their website needs a makeover : s
