The newest Fabulous! Festival is up at All About Appearances and the theme is one of my favorite topics: color!
As I was skimming the entries, I noticed one of the entries from Dean at Office Hair mentioning “beige people”. He hee. Fits right in with my entry, Using Contrast With the Personal Color Palette, but from a different angle (copper hair and fake tan? one of them just has to go!).
And let me just say right here, as enthusiastically as I can, I am so happy that we are all different and that, through our choices of what to wear, we can express our individuality creatively. That said, I found the spectrum of posts concerning black versus color slightly amusing. From Icy’s mostly black at Closet Goth to Color Yourself Happy at What I Wore Today, To Color and Color Not was the question which Une Femme d’un certain age answered:
Everyone has their own color comfort level. Making color work for you is more than just learning which colors flatter. It’s also about discoving the colors that speak to your style and the amounts of color that express your vision of yourself.
Yes! Your own personal idiom.
Thank you to Meg for organizing the festival! What fun! Next edition at Individual Chic, October 1st, and then HERE October 15th. Submit your posts via the blogcarnival entry form.
You’re so welcome Rebecca! Thanks again for participating.
I loved Dean’s post. It definitely fit well with yours. Both got me thinking about my own coloring.
Of course, I thought all the posts that I chose were great and had something to say. I was so glad to see people really taking the theme and running with it. The quote from Une femme d’un certain age sums it up very well. I had a room mate who looked great in pink but hated it. I couldn’t understand why because I love pink, even though I have a hard time wearing it without looking too flushed. Then later I saw her room back home. The walls were painted Pepto Bismol pink, and had been since before her family moved in. I also realized then why she was so excited that she was allowed to repaint the walls in her new room, even though she never got the chance.
