The Deep Winter

Before we jump into learning how to wear all of the exciting colors in your palette... it’s im-
portant to understand your overall coloring and how to wear your colors in general.

Your coloring is a deep winter... which means that you have deep, dark features. Dark eyes
with dark hair. Your overall look is DEEP and cool.

Your colors are cool, deep and rich. Your colors can be dark, rich and slightly muted. Some
light colors will look good on you but they need to be cool and icy.

The most important style tip I can give you is to keep your color combinations low to medium
contrast. A dark purple dress with a bright pink scarf will look amazing on you.

If you want to look your BEST... keep your colors in medium contrast. So... a lime green blouse
with black pants would look very striking. A soft grey blouse with light grey slacks would be
lovely on you. A pink t-shirt with grey shorts is perfect. A darker teal sweater with a charcoal
grey skirt will be much more flattering on you than pairing that same sweater with a white
skirt.

For the rest of this book, I will be breaking down your color palette into different categories
and moods. You’re going to learn how to choose your colors so that your outfit reflects your
mood, personality and life scenario. Just imagine getting ready for a party and knowing exact-
ly what colors to pull together to give just the right impression.

Maybe you want to be the center of attention... maybe you want to fall into the background...
maybe you want to feel important... maybe you want to feel flirlty and sexy... I’m going to
explain how to wear all of your colors so that you are empowered to design the perfect outfit
for any situation in your life.

Your Neutrals

Let’s start out with your neutral colors. Your neutral colors are your basics. These are the col-
ors that will go with any color in your color palette. They are the base of any outfit. When in
doubt on what to wear... pick up a neutral bottom... put on a colored top.... and you’re good to
go.

Is it really that simple? Well, sure... it CAN be that simple... BUT not all neutrals are created
equal!

There are 3 category of neutrals... Formal, Business and Casual.

Your “Black”
This is your version of black. Your “black” is what you might wear to an important event or
when you need to represent some authority. This is a very serious color for you. Your suits
should be in your “black”. Wearing shorts or casual pants in your “black” just won’t look right
on you. You can always break the rules... just understand the statement you are making when
you wear this color.

Your “Brown”
This is a neutral that should be your go-to for most business occassions... and really, your
best neutral for almost all occassions. You can wear your “brown” as a dressier outfit for going
out... Just don’t go to a formal event in your “brown”.

Casual
This is your casual neutral. Your shorts, casual pants and skirts will be in casual. You would
never wear your casual basics when giving a business presentation or to a formal event.

Now, that you understand that you have 3 neutrals to work with... and how to wear them...
let’s go to the next page to discover the exact colors from your color palette that fall into
each category.

Your “Black”

Your version of black is actually black and a deep cool brown. You could wear a black suit to
work... or wear deep cool brown pants with a fuschia pink blouse. You will look powerful and
stunning. Try wearing a deep cool brown evening dress to an event. You’ll get the same look
as black and the color will look so much nicer on you. For business situations, you would wear
your version of black as a suit... although you could certainly wear this color as a dress or as
trousers.

Black on a deep winter is perfect. You really can’t go wrong.

You can wear your “black” on its own... but you will come across as serious and unapproach-
able. If that is not your intent.... dress your formal outfit down by adding a color from your
color palette.

Your “Brown”

Your version of “Brown” are the colors that will work best for your basic clothing. Wear deep
amber-browns, dark navy and steel blue-grey as pants, skirts, jackets, tops and dresses.

Although this is still a more serious color set... you would likely not wear a suit in these col-
ors... and you wouldn’t wear formal evening wear in these colors.

You can wear your “brown” with just about any of your colors... and for just about any occas-
sion... just make sure that the overall contrast level of your outfit is on the low to medium
side.

Choose a handbag in your basic brown to have a neutral purse for all of your outfits.

You can also wear your “browns” on their own when you want to fall into the background...
and not make much of a statement. You’ll be... well... neutral!

Your Casual Colors

Your casual colors are the colors that work best as shorts, denim, khakis... anything very casu-
al. Let’s not forget about jeans! Blue jeans also fall into this category even though you won’t
see a “color” for them. Wear your jeans with any of your casual colors for a super casual, laid
back look. Or pair your jeans with any of your colors to set your mood.

Blue jeans are my favorite neutral because you can dress them up or down based on the top,
shoes and accessories. You can certainly wear them to work if your office allows it... just keep
in mind that they are still casual... even if you’re wearing pumps.

Healing Energy

Your healing energy colors are probably the most flattering on you. These are colors that you
would wear when you need to feel balanced. When you’re feeling stressed or are in conflict
with someone... wearing these colors will help you feel calm and centered.

It’s no wonder that you often see yoga clothes in these colors... because they are perfect for
meditation and restoration.

Carry these colors into your home. Buy a

lamp or lamp shade in these colors. Wear
jewelry in your relaxing colors. Wear a
blouse in a healing energy color when you
anticipate conflict with another person.
Hang art with these colors in your office to
reduce stress.

Wrap yourself in a blanket after a stressful

day. Paint your nails. Paint the walls in your
favorite room one of these colors and it
will become the room you go to to think,
meditate and recharge.

Buy as many pieces of clothing and acces-

sories as you can in these colors. Sweater,
blouses, pants, jackets, workout clothes,
scarves, jewelry, hand bags... pajamas, socks,
blankets... you get my point. You can’t go
wrong wearing your healing energy every-
day

These are the colors that you would wear and surround yourself to relax. Painting your bathr-
room or bedroom in these colors will provide you a soothing and tranquil environment. Wear

Be Romantic

These are your romantic colors... your version of red. The true red in your palette is a bit too
powerful to be a romantic color... it’s a more serious color for you. Wearing a true red dress on
a date may be stunning but also intimidating. If you want to appear warm and inviting, wear
your bright pinks and corals... which are an excellent alternatives to red. Wear lingerie in your
romantic colors... a cocktail dress... silk scarf... your lipstick... jewelry... anything that allows
you to feel sexy and warm.

Wear your romantic colors when you want

to feel sexy, passionate and romantic. Your
romantic colors are warm, energizing and
friendly... and that’s exactly how you will
be seen... whether on a date or with good
friends.

Be Powerful

Your power colors show your sense of authority. These are strong colors for you and you
would wear them whenever you want to make a strong impression. You can wear these to a
job interview, formal presentation or to simply make a dramatic statement.

Wearing these colors with your “black” is a perfect

combo for a job interview or presentation. You can
also combine your dramatic colors with a lighter color
to have some fun. If you really want to stand out at a
party... wear a top in one of your power colors. Wear an
evening dress or cocktail dress in one of these colors
and... wow!

Bottom line... if you want to make an important im-

pression or stand out... wear your power colors.
