Dressing for the Season Shift: Looking Your Best Now While Prepping for Fall
We're in the dog days of summer — and yet the stores are already showing their new fall lines. So how do we look our best in the heat while getting ready for our fall wardrobes?
Making the Most of Your Color Analysis Season Through Summer
Every Color Compass season has its soft and its bright colors. Take advantage of those shades to harmonize with your natural coloring, especially on those hot, busy days when sunscreen might be the only thing you're wearing on your face. Add a pop of gloss, and you're ready to go!
Shopping for Fall: Invest in Your Season's Neutrals
As we move into fall, start noticing which colors from your season are being highlighted in your favorite stores. Invest in those colors when you find them — especially the neutrals. Neutrals are the backbone of a coordinated wardrobe, and it pays to buy them when they're widely available.
I saw this play out for myself this summer. My Autumn browns were everywhere, so I invested in a few brown pieces and paired them with my favorite complementary Autumn shades — the ones that align with my Style Personality. I'm enjoying them now, and I already know that next summer I'll have great neutral pieces to build from all over again.

A few reminders as you shop your colors:
When you're using your Color Swatch Book, you're looking for harmony, not a perfect match. Compare a piece against all the colors in your Swatch Book, not just the one shade you think it matches. And don't forget — the words that describe your season's shades live in the front of your Swatch Book. Used together, these tools make shopping for your colors so much easier.
Most importantly, have fun!
