Very nervously (NC'd) putting my photo up for you lovely, stylish ladies to tell me what colours I should be wearing. Photo is in natural light and obvs have standard make up on.

I've got into a real rut of wearing black and I need some direction so when I do start piecing myself together to go back to work, I've got an idea of where to start. I like jewel colours but uncertain if they suit.

If anyone knows me, hi and please don't mention this Grin.

I’m not in the slightest bit stylish so won’t even try and offer any advice Grin but just wanted to say that you look lovely in that yellow top, and you have a very pretty face. If I saw you on the school run I think that you would be one of those mums who can do the effortlessly stylish look well.

Oh @GoryGilmore that's so very kind (thank you) but I'm really not! I live in trainers and jogging bottoms or jeggings Confused this is a very lonely colourful top in my regular collection of dullness.

That colour really suits you

Roszie · 04/03/2021 20:57

No idea but you've a very pretty face.

nzeire · 04/03/2021 21:01

Omg, you’re gorgeous!amazing eyes, beautiful skin.
That yellow looks lush. I’m sure you look great in black, but colours will look lovely... greens, blues, browns would be my picks

Thank you for being so kind.

I was kind of hoping someone would come along and say "this, this and this" Grin however I will follow the above chart as my new bible!

RunningFromInsanity · 04/03/2021 21:38

I think you look similar to me, and khaki/olive green tones suit me really well.

@SnakeRabbitMouse my eyes are a "proper" green like the second set on the warn&fresh set

That yellow really suits you. I think you are different from me (cool winter.)

IdblowJonSnow · 04/03/2021 21:39

I agree that colour suits you well. I imagine teal and moss colours would be good on you? Your skin tone is warm, if you didn't have blue eyes I'd have said you were a classic autumn.

eeekpicture · 04/03/2021 21:39

@Mufflete @RunningFromInsanity I do really like these greens.

@itsmeagainagain if only I'd known 6 months ago this was the place to come for a confidence boost Grin

Thank you.

I think jewel tones will look great on you.

ShowMeTheSugar · 04/03/2021 21:40

Id put you in autumn type shades- coppers, rich greens, deep dark reds and navy instead of black, khaki & olive shades. I think you'd look good in purple too

RunningFromInsanity · 04/03/2021 21:41

These are ‘go to’ outfits for me.

But my eyes are green? Does that make me autumn then?

I think those warm spring tones posted above would suit you.

eeekpicture · 04/03/2021 21:43

@Dayafterday

I think those warm spring tones posted above would suit you.
Maybe I should take this with me when shopping next as I would normally avoid so many of these colours!
