[quote=Anonymous]OP, have you ever looked into stuff like getting your "colors done" (season color analysis or something of that ilk)? When you get your colors right, your skin can GLOW! That is what got me to look into it is seeing this older woman who just looked so glowy and put together. I asked her what her secret was and she said "Color Me Beautiful" back in the 80s. You might have to shop around for the right expert / method because the old Color Me Beautiful approach doesn't work for everyone (it didn't for me).

I also highly recommend understanding the lines of your body. This is way beyond "body type analysis" involving fruits. Look into David Kibbe and also a book called The Triumph of Individual Style, which uses art works to show you different body types and how to flatter them with different colors and lines.

From this kind of stuff I learned, for example, what type of pant leg / sleeve style to look for, how long my hair should be, or even how long my earrings and necklaces should be to best flatter my face and body shape. I also know where on the spectrum of color to shop: cool vs. warm, bright vs. muted, light vs. dark, and what kinds of prints I can wear well (size of print, round vs linear vs angular, etc.).

Between knowing my colors and knowing my lines, I've been able to streamline my wardrobe and shopping. My aim was not to be fashionable and to turn heads, but just to look decent and feel harmonious in my clothing. Now I can tell if I am in the wrong kind of thing because I actually feel awful in it. Certain colors deflate me or make me feel "hot" (temperature wise, lol) and certain cuts of clothing drag me down. OP, I hope this helps. It can be a really fun rabbit hole to fall into.[/quote]
