Color handling - a crib for my clients

‪#‎Style‬ school for you.
​
rule nr.1: contrast-nuance-repeat. Means:
a) use one color what is contrast to another (there are many kinds of contrast - read Itten or ‪#‎askme‬).
B) Use third color what would be a nuance to the first or to the second color.
C) repeat one of a colors

Consider the amount of a bright ones should be decreased;)



Rule nr.2: uniting the colors.
Now you need to have one piece in your look what would have each of the used colors.
Applies to all of us if not only you are a blond wearing all-beige or afroamerican in all black and you need it acc.to your style+colortype+color image;)
Applies even guys;)
It is important to know how much of the color must be in your outfit. Use the scheme Itten has created and look below in the examples of a wrong use:
Resuming: do NOT take a red*other color bag to all black*grey etc.outfit. Do NOT repeat only without contrast and nuance. Do NOT pull on a colorful item if the colors in that item are not present in your outfit separately as well... Do NOT leave the colors ununited. Here comes the examples of the mistakes:
So, go now and try to apply these. And if (no, WHEN;) something wouldn't puzzle with the rules (pretty normal in the beginning, no shame;), contact me, coz there is more in an underwater of this iceberg;). I'll be happy to help you!

PS I do plan also the style courses IRL/on-line so we'd have enough of time to find your individual way of dealing with colors;)! PM me for the more details!

Time schedule of your style seeking process. Step-by-step:

I've tried to figure out my style myself for about 2 years - I mean before then I  wasn't giving it a thought;). Of course I was managing before and I wouldn't say it was ugly;). You can have a look at the pictures. But I often felt overdressed or shy as if I was trying too hard to impress but didn't want people to admit me. A part of psychology, of course. But with time I realized that I was doing it coz what I wore didn't represent the real me. I liked some color combo in vogue/on the net and was hunting the similar color item. Once wearing it - shy.... Hunting the next. And yep, I thought I was a summer... Oh my!
All that gave me a depression and go get out of it I wanted to understand this riddle.
I ended up taking a course of a practicing stylist where I happily got the systemized knowledge and found out how styling works:
Step 1. Fixing your clothes' piece lengths.
And necklines.
Get rid of everything that is not yours. (Would give you extra bulky/disproportions, etc)
Step 2. Getting to know what your siluett is - broken, OR the whole and sculptured, OR soft and textured OR long&soft and puffed-armed and so on.
These two steps are done when you know your style archetype. Plus your way of doing your make-up
Step 3. Fixing the colors. This will also define the colors of your make-up btw.
Step 4. Finding your style direction (D, C, S/N, R)
Getting rid of all clothing that is not in your style.
Step 5. Fixing your hair - hair style and hair color
Step 6. Making order in your wardrobe capsule wise.
Step 7. For advanced. Getting a style iconed.

Now, how to do it yourself. Try, try, try tryons. Spend a lot of time on that. Even if not buying;). Go on a Facebook groups of Kibbe, read his book, try to find out your archetype. in general takes about 2 years. Analyze, analyze, analyze: what do you like in the clothing pieces, why this attracts you and that isn't, what is your worst, etc. Time again. Then, read, watch, etc.the fashion history and there you belong. Unfortunatelly there are mostly romantic-dramatics are in public, Kibbe-knowledgable would agree with me on that and admit that's why he himself studyed them so well in Hollywood and created a subcategories, TR and SD. So, if you can't find your style icon, it is because it is well hidden and not that public;)
Next time we'll talk about how much it costs;)
