seasonal colors

This past winter I had a signature season color. I didn’t realize it until I was moving my winter clothes to the corner of the closet the other day… but I seemed to have a strong affinity to one particular hue this winter. And the color?

It didn’t take me long to discover the color in Shahl’s Fashion Color Forecast for Autumn/Winter 2009/10… so my choice wasn’t too random or misplaced but rather highly calculated years ago in some boardroom meeting.
.
And while I was looking at color palettes, I figured I’d glance upon those for this summer and see if I’m following any subliminal trends as well. Guess what? I am (according to CIFF’s Trends Spring/Summer 2010).

This is my summer wardrobe. It’s heavy on the kelly green/blue front, but hanging out in these rusty other colors as well.
.
I’m not sure whether I should be happy to be dressing in season with my old clothes (still prolonging any major post-pregnancy shopping trips), or upset that I’m mindlessly following trends. Oh well… at least this way people won’t notice the age of my attire!
