Accessories are the secret to help you dress for success. Having
the right accessories can change an average outfit into an
fantastic outfit. We all have different tastes and are attracted to
different styles. Picking the right colors play a big role in choosing
accessories that look good on you.
Years ago I was clueless about choosing the right colors and
styles. One day I met a new friend and she started telling me why
I shouldn’t wear the colors I had on because my skin was too dark
and the colors didn’t suit me. I asked for her help and over the next
few months I changed so much that my other friends started asking
me for advice. It’s so fun!
Today, many women come to me and ask me what colors suit them
best. The way I see it we have four categories of colors, one for each
of the seasons. Plus, we all each have different skin types, colors and
tones. Also, I look a their hair and eyes.
It’s way too complex to describe the process in this article but we can
learn how to trust our inner knowing of what colors look “right” and
what colors look “wrong”. You can start to get a sense of this when
you’re out in public. Just notice the colors that look great on women
and the colors that look terrible.
Then we move into styles. There are so many different styles to choose
from. Some of the most common styles are: casual, sporty, business,
formal and romantic (frills, flower and lace). Also, we have different
styles for each age group. It’s endless! We have styles that have been
“out” for 20 years and now they’re hot again.
Our personal styles are constantly changing depending on our daily
activities. That’s why we need lots of accessories. The most common
womens accessories are: handbags, shoes, belts, hats, jewelery,
stockings, socks and scarves.
One of the secrets is choosing sets of matching accessories. So if you
look great in white with blue accessories than you could have a blue
handbag, blue shoes, a blue belt and matching blue jewelery. You might
also have a set of red accessories that look great with the same white
dress but change your look to a more formal flavor. The possibilities
are endless.
If you have trouble choosing what looks good on you, find one of your
friends that have a great sense of style. Invite her to go shopping with
you and help you choose which colors suit you best. Once you find a
few colors and styles that look great on you, buy a set of matching
accessories. When you go home you can try them with the rest of your
clothes. You’ll be surprised at what you see.
Colors are energy and any Fung Shui Master will agree that when you
get the outside right, it also helps you get the inside right. Happy
Shopping!
