You forgot to say "WEAR A SCARF in a matching winter shade"! That said, there has to be a shade of orange that looks great on us. I'm a CLEAR WINTER. Dark orange (bright with more red than yellow, like the pantone for... 2018 was it?) is horrible on me. So is the skin-orange shade. I'm thinking about something with more yellow. I am in love with apricot (items, color online or on TV stars) but I have yet to come across a clothing item that I could try near my face. I adore all shades that are very wrong for me (lavender and all pastels) I look catapulted into those clothes.
I loathe navy but it has become the so-called "go-to" color after my soft black hair turned gray, and I no longer feel like wearing my trustee black, in which I looked beyond fabulous. Navy provides the same brightness to my complexion. I bought slate blue towels and regretted it when I saw how drab I looked in the mirror when wrapped in one.
After decades of HATING pink, I received a garment that is spectacular on me in pink. Sadly, I'm unable to find more. It's pastel-ish but bright, not soft. I also look great in fuchsia (aka hot pink) but I don't have the attention-commanding personality for it. I am more of a wallflower, blend in the dark, type.
That said, I am so drawn to orange lately, a color I have always loathed. So what to do? I just done cruising the Google IMages asking "what shade of orange for clear winters" and there's no returns, no matter how many keywords I stripped that of to leave on the 3.
Why did I have to have a wallflower personality with my coloring?! *sighs* I should have been a pale blonde blue eyed girl. (I'm very pale, can't tan, hazel eyes.) When I can afford frivolous stuff, I'll order fabric samples in different shades of yellow-orange. Maybe butternut squash (the inside) will flatter me? I hope. Otherwise, it's decor items in my favorite oranges. I'm ordering sunglasses soon. Thanks for reading.
