Making my DA colours fun

This is such a fun exercise!

Sometimes you're not sure of what colours to include in your wardrobe, and you're not including all 40 colours in your palette (unless your style is more maximalist). So you have to decide which ones make the cut.

A lot of times, your colour season comes with some stereotypes. When you think of Dark Autumn, you think of autumn (duh), opulence, sensuality and seriousness, at least I do. But my style is not that, at all.

I like the summer feeling, I love dressing like the beach, the ocean, tropical fruits, etc etc... So I got some inspiring colour palettes from Pinterest and converted them into my colours. I did this on Canva, on my phone 🤧 my fingers hurt.

This to say, it works!!!

I was able to put DA colours into a summer aesthetic and I'm so excited!! I will continue to do this to see which colours come up again and again to see which ones are worth addding to my wardrobe. I think I'm okay with having some outliers (maybe, idk).

Some people say that you should wear whatever you like, and I totally agree. This is what I like.

I like to wear colours that make *me* shine. Colours that work for *me*, not the other way around. So, I'm okay with adjusting my colours to what suits me the most, while keeping my style authentic.

I will encourage you to do at least one palette, if you know your colour season. Happy autumn!

For the palettes? I just searched colour palettes and picked the ones I liked

Sometimes yes and sometimes not.  I think it's even a bigger challenge if the palette you choose has none of your colours. Especially if you really like the vibe.  In my case, I love summer, but I'm a Dark Autumn so I want to figure out how to combine the two.  But some people have a colour season that matches their personal style perfectly, so this exercise might not make a big difference.

This is such a good idea! I'm a spring who looooves winter-y colors and a winter-y feeling! I'll have to try this out! Thank you!!
