Let The Fall Begin

One thing I feel you all need to know about me, and if you didn't already know then you may have been suspicious.

First things first, fall colors do few people justice. 80% of everyone has cool skin tones, google it if you're curious which you are (I'd bet it's cool). Nothing to be ashamed of. It basically means you look good in blue tones versus orange. I am a winter. Hot pink, bright blue, navy blue. Surprisingly those colors are very winter. I refuse to wear black when it's white and classy outside. White and black backdrop, BAM colored dress. Yet, every fall I see the same thing. Brown. Everywhere. Brown on the trees, brown to your knees (giant sweater dresses). Some people have the impression that brown warms up your skin and does everyone justice. In other news, I'm pregnant. Now back to topic. To those people I say try this. Get your favorite brown coat/shirt/giant scarf and hold it up to your face. Now, get your favorite other color (preferably cool, blue/purple/light pink/any green but olive green) and hold it up to your face. Do this a few times in good lighting(outdoors) and you'll see what I mean. Brown makes you look orange. And if you don't mind that, dye your hair a hue of orange and let me know how you like it. (a decision I will regret until my hair grows out) Needless to say, I'm wearing blue and cream today. Ahah! Cream, bet you didn't see that coming.
     Browns are great as an accent. Shoes, purse, tiny part of patterned shirt. There is your fashion lesson for today, but it's mostly a haircolor lesson. Hair color refers to natural color of hair. Haircolor(one word) has been coined for the industry of hair, and it refers to the colors a hair professional uses. In haircolor I learned a valuable lesson. I will never be a redhead. I was a little heartbroken, but seeing that orange swatch of hair up to my face made me run in the opposite direction. The same rule applies to clothes. Makeup...do whatever you like. It's not the same in makeup at all. Except if you have blue eyes, never wear blue eye makeup. Greens never wear green, but browns can wear every color on their eyes.

I wonder how many people read carefully today.
Yours Truly,

Same blog, New email, Annoyed by google

Pretty self explanatory. I needed a new email because there is something so not professional about foxiecheese202 as a username. Yet, blogger will not let me attach my new gmail address to my old blog. So I'll just delete my old blog, ask you to follow this one. And let all my previous posts drift into the abyss of dead blogs.

So if you know me via facebook. Follow this. This is Heather....not foxycheese202.
