I began my journey with colour and image in the early 90's at the tender age of 24. I went to a competitor and paid to have the equivalent of our Style Development Day, at the end of it I knew I was a "Spring". I was told to take away my colour swatches and use them when I went shopping. I was also told what style of clothes to wear which included "german style suits" (yes you may ask "exactly what are german style suits").
Being totally honest, I had no real understanding of why I should wear those colours; what difference it made to my skin tone, my eyes or even my hair.
I introduced one or two "spring" colours which I liked. I continued to wear and purchase my 4 staple colours i.e. black (90% of my wardrobe was black), white, bright red and navy (for work). I carried on buying styles which I had seen look good on other people but just looked dreadful on my curvaceous body. Each "mistake" I made just ended up in my wardrobe "graveyard" as another purchase to put down to experience.
One day I met a friend whom I had seen about a month earlier and she looked FANTASTIC. She looked slimmer, confident and absolutely radiant and I had to know what was the secret of her dramatic transformation. I asked....... "have you been on holiday?"; "lost weight"; "changed your hair" ; "having an affair" and when each answer came back as "no" I finally begged her to tell me the secret of her miraculous transformation. Her answer came back loud and clear "House Of Colour".
We had a long chat and at the end of it I realised that I had no understanding of the benefits that Colour and Image can bring to your life. That afternoon I booked into a Colour Analysis Class, a Make-Up Class and an Image Class and have not looked back since.
The results for me were amazing, my skin looks clearer, my eyes look bluer, my hair is shiny and I even look slimmer, which is an added benefit as I also run a Weight Management and Counselling business.
Recently I had to attend a "Black and White" wedding and borrowed a fabulous "Black" designer gown (well, I wasn't going to buy one when I know how dreadful black makes me look). I was quite horrified at the number of friends who asked if I was "ill".
I adore my spring colours, and feel so confident in them as a result of the positive reactions I get from other people. If I had £1 for every compliment I have received since "living" my colours I would be a rich woman. My wardrobe graveyard has been banished and fashion disasters are a thing of the past.
I spend 50% less on clothes but have 3 x as much to wear. Everything in my wardrobe "goes with everything" and, "everything goes with me".
