Hi There..... Do you struggle to find the right color combination for your outfit? Would you like some information on what color shades are right for you?
I bet you do. It can be hard sometimes going to the store, trying to put a great outfit together. My husband is superb at picking the right clothes for me, but when I have to go shopping on my own, it’s a disaster. 😰
Most times I don’t come back with an empty wallet, but with empty bags. Can you imagine me having to run around naked? Oh my, you had better not, because that’s a scary thought unless you are a fan of horror movies. 😏
Although my hubby comes up with color shades, sometimes, that I feel are just not right for me. I always feel drawn to all kinds of red in the store. It seems to be a color that has never failed me. Can you picture my wardrobe full of reds? That would be quite cool, right? I am thinking of dying my hair red too. 😎
No way, blondes have more fun. Besides, I think you should have different color combinations in your wardrobe. That’s why I was so happy with this color shades swatch booklet Jill Kirsh gifted me in exchange for a blog post. It’s the perfect tool for finding the right color combinations for you. 😍

Who is Jill Kirsh?
Jill Kirsh is THE color expert! She was named Best Color Consultant in the Best of LA issue of Los Angeles magazine and is frequently called upon by Red Carpet celebrities, Grammy-winning musicians, and titans of business for color coaching.
In addition, she is featured in the award-winning documentary Gray Is the New Blonde, where she shares her color expertise on how to rock gray hair. Jill is known in Hollywood as the “Guru of Hue”.
Her unique color combination system has been the talk of the fashion world for over twenty years. She has been featured nationally and internationally on television, in magazines, on podcasts, webinars, seminars, and in her one-on-one client color coaching sessions. Color is such a niche.
About the color shades system
She created an innovative and unique system for fashion and beauty that’s entirely based on your present hair color.
Your hair frames your face, your eyes & your smile, and when you incorporate your hair color into your color choices for your wardrobe, it pulls the attention of the viewer up to your face and the message you’re communicating in words just rides on that wave.
There are no distractions, and your presence is greatly enhanced. And it’s not just about getting the right color shades for clothing, but it’s also the right shades of makeup for the eyes, cheeks, and lips. Just wearing your perfect lip color will make your face shine.
It’s about color, it’s about fashion, it’s about beauty, it’s about you!!!
How does the color shades system work?
Her color makeover system starts with your customized wallet-size swatch book that’s filled with pieces of fabric of all your best shades of every color. Use it as a guide for shopping for everything in the world of fashion & beauty, from tees, trousers & nail color to gemstones, party dresses, and stilettos! She has personally chosen all the colors in your swatch book. Not only are all of these your best color shades, but every shade coordinates with each other, so you can look your most beautiful every day and create a wardrobe that totally rocks!
How does the color system help people?
It makes people extremely happy. It also makes them more confident in the way they present themselves. She tells people they can wear basically every color. It just depends on knowing your best shades of that color. So let’s say that purple is trending right now. You can definitely rock purple, but different color shades than your friend who has an entirely different hair color. She gives everyone lots of choices to create their own look, which is fun, exciting, and empowering for them.

My opinion on the color shades booklet
It's not just the booklet, but the free ebook you can get on her website that has given me a lot of new insights. With this booklet, I am certain that next time I go shopping on my own, I will not return empty-handed. Obviously shopping with my hubby is more fun, but now if I am on my own and see something, I will be confident enough to buy it too. 😃

This is one of the color combinations I did a brief experiment with. I tried to put all these colors together in one outfit, and I was pretty happy with the result. As you can see, my cardigan is the top color, and the middle color is part of my white T-shirt.

Then I changed the background to white because that is also in this combination. It seems the background of my pictures is much more important than I thought because the picture pops out more that way.

There are also a lot of colors in the swatch book that I never thought would be for me. It's going to be fun trying them all out. 😊
There may be a slight negative, though. I have to continue dying my hair because grey is not my color. Then again, I wasn't planning to let my hair turn grey, anyway. And should I ever decide to rock grey, I can always order a new color shades booklet. 😉

Maybe I should try this to branch out. I wear black, red, and blue almost exclusively. I definitely won't wear yellows since it clashes really bad with my natural blonde hair. But I wouldn't have thought of your colors together.
ReplyDeleteA friend of mine hired a color expert and highly recommended I do the same! I am seriously considering it...Thanks for the share.
ReplyDeleteSame here! My husband is my main shopping partner too. Without him I always buy wrong outfits and jewelry! 🙈 I just visited the site, looks so cool! am gonna watch the videos now. Thanks for sharing 🙂

ReplyDeleteI've never heard of Jill Kirsh before, but I'm glad to have learned so much!
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you shared that post. I am always hesitant about exploring colors and usually go for neutral.
ReplyDeleteI generally stick to a lot of black in my closet. However, I would like to add more color.
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! I have to try this site out as I have trouble finding my own personal colors.
ReplyDeleteThis is pretty cool, I'm going to google " Jill Kirsh", to see what color I should wear.
