Still going strong as we head into 2015. Not a chance I can beat the vol 50 intro from the lovely Dry so I won't even try. Lots of newbies have joined the fun, why don't you? Come tell us your sales splurges. All welcome for fun fashion chat.

justa I had my colour diagnosis over 2 years ago and I am a Blue Spring.

You never know about the camel! You might be a low contrast person.

Oh when I'm not in workout gear (which also usually means the only grooming I've managed is brushing my teeth), I'm probably overdressed on school run too (at one school anyway, not so much the other). I couldn't really care less either way Grin.

Karbea today there was about four hours between eggs and toast breakfast and yoga. Usually for a morning class I have a green smoothie with some chia seeds, made with coconut water. Keeps me going without making me too full (and queasy in class). If definitely try and get a few glasses of water in beforehand and just something for energy, no food at all may leave you feeling faint.

Loving the discussion on here tonight and everybody's point of view is interesting and valid. Don't need to describe mine as it's an echo of what Sleep has already said Smile. Although I don't feel the need to do any of the colour/ style day stuff it has been interesting to understand what others have learnt from it. Also think all of you that have done it are using it as a complement to what you already know rather than being blindly guided by the rules.

Also interesting what Liberty said about creative types. Am not in a creative role but pretty artsy and confident regarding home decor/personal taste as is dh but different taste hence clashes of opinion! Have never thought before about how this translates to clothes and fashion but guess there's a link.

One, wow, that's a lot of shopping and sounds great. Enjoy your birthday tomorrow. x

Blair nooooo!

Karbea enjoy the yoga. Love the focus on health and looking after yourself at this time of year.

Justa apparently I am 2" too short to be a dramatic. Which is interesting, as I very very definitely am one. I think absolute rules for the clothing personalities don't work in the same way as with colour (with colour analysis, you compare two drapes, and one is either better than the other or not. Do that a couple of dozen times and there is no arguing with the answer). CPs are a lot more subjective and depend on the analyst seeing what is in front of them rather than going through a tick list and making a clinical deduction based on it. I would be miserable as anything but a Dramatic (well, a Natural Dramatic, but I have a totally dramatic body shape).

Thanks for the support for being utterly overdressed Grin. I know where to come for cheerleading on that front!

OneLittleLady · 11/01/2015 22:52

according to those style personality things QueenC linked, I can't be dramatic as I'm far too short.

Briefly went in american apparel today. Didn't like anything in there and it was far too over priced for what it was. Skirts were way way too short and otherwise, everything in there seemed to be either disco pants or cropped tops. Not for me at all!

Love Sienna's dress and hair. Love rosamund pikes hair but not sure about the dress. Don't like Amals White gloves.

Apologies for the DM link but what this woman is doing (who lives near me) is awesome. And I thought one (and others) might be interested.

Morning!

Happy Birthday one and sleep! Flowers

Went for my first run in three weeks just now. It was less painful than I expected but it was pretty nippy out there.

-1.5 degrees but blue sky and I got rewarded with a beautifully clear view of Mont Blanc and the Alps.

Showertime and then I have to get on with my chores. I will dress for comfort in my Jimmies and a J Crew jumper as the Christmas Kilos have yet to be shifted.

Happy Birthday sleep and one Cake Cake Cake

Happy birthday Sleep & One have amazing birthdays!

Fedupnagging · 12/01/2015 08:38

Just popping in to wish One and Sleep happy birthday. Flowers. Enjoy your days.

Shop I wondered that about CZJ too. Helen Mirren's dress looks fab as does Jennifer Anniston and Reese Witherspoon. Kerry Washingtons dress is lovely too. Not at all keen on what Rosamund Pike is wearing - just not flattering at all.

Am off to get hair coloured and cut so will catch up on rest of last nights posts later. Hope hairdresser does a better job after the awful cut I had just before Xmas!

On the GG dresses, Emma Stone and Reese Witherspoon stood out for me - love the sparkle! Oh and Diane Kruger, so so pretty.
