I wear all black or all white at times, but the pieces are different hues of the color.

Funny thing about black, which was so dominant for so long. I am not “supposed” to wear it since I am a Spring. When black was absolutely everywhere, I had to give in and wear it if I wanted anything to wear. I discovered that if I combined black with a warmer color, or at the very least wore gold jewelry, I liked it better on me. When gray suddenly became available I gravitated toward that, because it is a softer color.

I do own several pairs of black pants. I do like to put a more flattering color near my face. Scarves serve a useful purpose.

There are two colors that I will not wear: true red and red violet. I look awful in both.

I have several favorite color combinations:

Red & black
Burgundy & medium grey
Orange & turquoise
Purple & black

I'm very fair-skinned and look best in lighter colors like pastels but much prefer jewel tones and darker colors. I also love animal prints.

I look awful in yellow and brown isn't too flattering either--which is okay since I don't like either color that much

That's what I do, wear black with color in scarves, jewelry. It can look very harsh on some...gold would certainly warm the area near the face.

I can wear red and do...love it. Bought a pr of heeled booties in red...fun to wear.

Lucky you if you can wear red! I like red. But not on me. If I could wear a true red, I would wear it a lot.

Either all black or all white. I don't like to mix them.

No..I meant do you use different shades of white, and different textures? Otherwise you'd look like a medical person...
