Do you ever just look in your cupboard and think "uhhh i have nothing to wear"?
Well, you and me both.
But sometimes this has less to do with what you see in the cupboard and more to do with the knowing it wont look the way you want, or how it looked in the shop on the mannequin, and more to do with how it looks when you put it on.
Do your eyes sparkle when you wear that yellow top? Does your body curve in the right places in those jeans?
Same goes with makeup. The gold eyeshadow doesn't look the way on you as it does on your friend Sarah, but boy do you rock that hot pink lipstick!
Chances are it's not you, its the clothes. Its the makeup. Its the colour, the tone, the style. Its not wrong, its just wrong for you.
Knowing what's right for you though - complete game changer!
To be able to walk into a shop and confidently pick something out, knowing its your colour and style and you're going to look incredible.
So how do you come by this knowledge, you say? Where does this confidence you speak of come from.
Well, my friend, let me tell you.
There are 4 seasons in a year. When you think of each season, you think of colours.
If I say autumn, you think of warm tones, browns and creams. All warm and cosy. But if I say winter, you think cold. Stark tones like black or white. Crisp, clean and bold.
Everyone has a season. For me, I'm a spring. This means my tones are warm, but muted. I need beige, browns, mustards. Warm tones, but soft. Soft to help accentuate my features. But the minute I wear black, I look pale, washed out and almost unwell.
Once you know your season, seeing the way you wear colour, or colour wears you, becomes something you can't unsee.
But what happens if you wear the wrong length, or shape, or style of clothes. You've got your colours, but something still isn't quite sitting right?
This is all to do with body shape and proportions. Someone with long legs and a short torso can look incredible in something, that someone with a long torso and short legs looks completely different in. It changes the shape of your body. Straight pants, baggy pants, tight fitted pants. You feel good in that one pair of jeans you've had for a million years but the current trendy flares look horrible on you.
This isn't something you can change by adding or subtracting weight, this is how your body is made. Its the structure under the skin.
