Jewel Tones

Other than the fact that pastel colors look horrible on me, but I’ve always had a hard time figuring out what colors actually look good on me. I know what colors I like, but they may not always be flattering. According to the “seasonal color analysis”, I’m an autumn, but I can’t remember all the colors that supposedly look good on an autumn – I can’t carry about a bunch of color swats whenever I go shopping, can I? All I can remember that earth tones work for me. But lately, I’ve figured out that jewel tones work too. I’ve worn a lot of deep red (purplish red, brownish red, maroon, burgundy, whatever you want to call them) and emerald green, though usually not close to my face, so here’s an all-jewel tone outfit, to remind myself to wear them more often.
