I found the color contrast article really insightful - something of a paradigm shift, and explained a lot to me about my color choices. (I'm a dark summer) Sometimes I really crave wearing bold colors, and I realized perhaps it's ok, so long as a lot of thought is put into what shade the bolder color is? Blue, for example, is a winner for me personally.
Sometimes I wonder if I'm cheating on my seasonal colors, but the flood of compliments I get when wearing these bolder shades and the joy I have wearing the colors is, I think, an indicator that perhaps I'm finding my own personal style. MPS's emphasis on wearing a smile is so encouraging!
Because the article addressed the contrast between one's own color contrast, and matching clothing contrast with your personal contrast, that made so much sense why I steer away from light colored, low contrast clothing. To me, if I want "low contrast", I'll pair a medium gray top with slightly darker medium gray trousers, add a completer piece and some accessories, and call it an outfit. Now I know why that is my pick for "low contrast".
Thanks so much!
