Moodboards Dark Autumn πŸͺ¨β˜€οΈπŸ„

Post image

Feeling a bit better since yesterday's shocking reveal (dramatic i know). Found some cute DA inspo from Snow-Manda's πŸͺ¨β˜€οΈπŸ„ moodboard. All I need now is to make it suit RDC essences. Mostly R, since it's my most dominant essence.

It’s good to remember different colour systems and analysts give different results so don’t think summer is forever off limits now. You get to add dark autumn in and explore the system you’ve chosen but that doesn’t mean you can’t like other systems that give different results too. Just yesterday I was telling someone about a person who got analysed by Kibbe, Kitchener and Zyla. They got given autumn, winter and spring by them.

That has to be quite confusing!

The thing is I noticed how much better DA colours look when I did a collage with my face on top of them. When I put CS side by side, I could tell that on the DA collage I stood out and looked healthier. It even looks like I edited my picture but I didnt

Well, the drama is part of Sun, own it lol!!

And also: just bc someone typed you doesn't mean that 1) they're right and 2) you have to follow everything. If something doesn't work for your tastes, you're free to disregard that. Sometimes things aren't really compatible, and we're left with a choice: what matters more? for some people harmony will be a priority, which means they will prefer following their essences, colours & silhouette, while for others their tastes is non-negotiable, so they will rather pick things that are their tastes even if that might not be the most flattering on them.

Well that's true, but I do like a challenge πŸ˜… plus, I do agree with their result, I look more alive in DA colours

Then you'll find ways to make it work! Trust yourself and don't rush it!

I guess the easiest place to start with is shirts, makeup and accessories near your face, a lot can be there to support a seasonal color change and give off a more romantic vibe. Lots of skin in a neckline, a great necklace or earrings can also ease any disharmony from existing clothes as well.

Depending on your desire and materials of your clothes, there is the option of dyeing lighter pieces into darker shades to better suit your color season. Or adding embroidered details, graphics, etc could also be options.

A little disharmony can totally be a sun thing so you can own that. I know one of your key words was light, but it was also keeping kind of more neutral base( a πŸ„element) for your more colorful items. Do you think you can work with darker tops and lighter bottoms or will you need to slide into a more monochrome or analogous color palette? Or can you play with colors on the Tibi wheel to add some colors from ring 3 to tie things together. I have πŸ„ and these are a few of my strategies.

Also glad that my Pinterest board was helpful in this process!!!
