COLOUR CONSULTATION
[AD | GIFTED BY STYLED BY ISABEL]
I’m no expert in colour but I do know that it plays such an important role in our lives, and it can alter our moods, help reduce tension, excite and soothe us or have the opposite effect. The colours in the clothes we wear can tell so much about who we are but can also have an impact on the features we bring to the forefront.
I recently received a complimentary Colour Consultation with Isabel Gleeson of Styled by Isabel who believes that wearing the right colours for us can make us look healthier, brighter and our every day best.
She goes on to say that the colours we wear are so important because they accentuate the same pigment colours in our eyes, hair and skin tones. Isabel analyses these three natural features in my colouring and creates my seasonal palette; there are four seasonal palettes a person can be: Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.

HOW TO IMPLEMENT YOUR SEASONAL COLOUR SCHEME IN YOUR WARDROBE
Isabel has suggested ways to implement my colour and tone options for my basics/ essentials, which I have then applied and found items I love based on her suggestions.

We then looked at statement pieces and the tones and colours best suited for those wow moments, and I’ve found some great items I love that match these suggestions.
