Colors


Yes, I'm still on the letter C...

As a child, my mother loved to dress me in reds. So much, in fact, that as an adult I avoided red for many years. My favorite color was warm blues. I wore a LOT of blue clothes. One day I found a sale on a red suit. As a professional, I needed suits and when they were on sale, I would grab them.

This was a turning point, I fell in love with red again and that love has lasted over forty years. Blue? Not so much. I now find myself avoiding clothing in blues. I have also discovered I need warm reds, not cool reds. If you've ever dabbled with what season you are, you understand. I am pretty sure I am a warm autumn.

So what are my favorite colors right now? What colors am I using to build a capsule wardrobe in mostly wool? Teals, olive greens, burgundy/mauve, with a dash of neutrals (black, white, gray). Accessory colors are in warm red and coral colors. I even have Allbirds Wool Runner shoes in burgundy and teal!


Yes, I know there are blues in the chart that are good for me, but I'm just not there. Oh, and I do have a short-sleeve merino tee-shirt in a light lavender that isn't on the list, but I love it (and it's a Woolx tee and they are so awesome).

Have you ever had your seasons done (or tried to do them online)? What are your favorite clothing colors?

    1. Teal is as close as I get to blue any more. I pretty much burned myself out. LOL!

  2. Never had my seasons done, I just enjoy blues, greys and dark greens.
    I have to make a conscious effort to actually wear something of a different colour because I just don’t buy them often.
    But I will very much avoid pink and most pastel colours.

    1. As I try to minimize my wardrobe, my favorite colors are rising to the top. It's still hard to get rid of items that have memories attached, regardless of the color.
