How do I feel in it? No mirror, no photos, no opinions from others. So I went back to assessing each garment individually. Like buying a new shirt, being all happy about it, until doubt sets in - what if I'm not in that season after all? It's just ridiculous. It turned out to be yet another trap for being afraid of errors and self-sabotage. Maybe I'm even DA or TS, but I hate most cool colors, so those are not an option (the smoke in SA makes them quite bearable). After going back and forth between Dark Autumn, Soft Autumn and Soft Summer off and on for a long time, I could never figure out if I'm warm or cool, or too soft for Dark Autumn (though dark enough very probably), nor could anyone else I asked for an opinion (including a few painters and fellow artists). It doesn't seem to be a value contrast issue so much as that he needs some darkness, but not too much. Dark Autumn seems to be the closest, but he does best in the relatively lighter and brighter colors from that palette. He can't do softness, but he also can't wear black. He's most definitely an Autumn, but he can't do saturated colors, so not True Autumn. My partner seems to fall between seasons, and it's a bit frustrating. I'm Soft Summer and can get away with Soft Autumn colors and a few Dark Winter colors, but saturation makes me look like death. My sister needed the warmth more than the softness, for instance, while my daughter and mother needed both. It was really interesting to see how what was most important to people varied. ![]() ![]() I'm surrounded :') I used your draping cards for them (and for several other people of different seasons, so I don't think determining that so many people I know are Soft Autumn was due to an unconscious bias). ![]() My daughter, mother, sister, and two friends are Soft Autumn.
