I had my colours done with HOC 4 years ago. Whilst with a personal shopper who also does colour analysis I was told I have been getting it wrong all this time. Instead of being an Autumn she thinks I'm a winter, as the colour swatches are flashed before me, I was inclined to wonder if she was right. What should I do? My wardrobe was completely overhauled away from silver to gold, I gave away my lovely clothes, jewellery and accessories that were not in my colour palette and started again. I found a new confidence and a sense of self that now seems to have been built on rocky foundations. Despite there being some colours I have grown to love there are a lot I have never thought that much of within my colour wallet.
Should I go and see another HOC rep for a second opinion or is that good money after bad?
I would love to feel robust enough to say stuff it, I like it so I'm sticking with what I have got, but seriously can it be that wrong?
Having my colours done changed me so much for the better. I have sent so many people off to get theirs done.
I have a wedding to attend next week, so not long to buy a whole new outfitwith shoes, bag etc. Do I buy what I know or what I'm told now?
I did dye my hair a bit darker than I expected. That won't wash out this side of the wedding though :( would that have been enough to swing her judgment?
Please share with me any ideas of what you would do next. Thank you.

Just wanted to update on this......

I went to the wedding in a new outfit (that was not HOC Autumn), with accessories and make-up to match. I felt great on the day and got more comments than usual saying I looked nice and had lost weight etc. The photo's came back and I think I looked pail...maybe that was the bright pink lippy I don't know.

I had a further session with my HOC consultant and thanks to this thread I took someone with me. That was a great help as they were the one who chose my colours! This time I could see I was an Autumn for myself. Phew. I felt so relieved that I had not got to start over again.

Since then I have started buying much more of the 75 and 50 percent colours rather than mainly my 100% swatches and somehow I feel refreshed by having even more go to colours to dress with.

Thankfully HOC were fantastic and did not even charge me for going back again :)
