CMD - apparently I am spring - turquoise water melon and salmon.........................er no thanks!

Mmm Me too :rotfl:But maybe Salmon is the new Orange.Lets hope so as those colours sound bl**dy awful :eek:

Prices for the colour thingy range a great deal but are all about £100+ thats for 2 -3 hours.But cheaper if you can rope your friends in the ones I looked at will do up to 4 people at a time

The lady I am having a one to one at home so its going to be £120 for 3-4 hours but I am sure I will save that in very bad clothing buys and mistakes (even at charity shop prices) Should recoup it pretty quickly. Thats the plan anyway Might sell a few bad buys on E*ay to pay for her Even though I hate the hassle with selling on there may go down the Fb route

We will see I will tell you honestly if I think it is worth the money or not to waste your time

So waiting for the email from her to tell me how to prepare so I am ready for her ;)How exciting :T

Morning all
Had to nip into town so dropped off a big CS bag a 5ft high cd rack, and a wooden wall shelf. So a bit more space cleared, had to smile while I was in thee I had a quick look at the books and recognised about a third as being my recent donations.

Hope everyone has a good weekend

Do they still give you a swatch of colours that suit you to take clothes shopping with you?

Salmon looks good on me... as long as its an icy salmon.

Woo Colour lady coming on Wednesday to case the joint She said a lot on the phone which made total sense. I think she will give me a kick up the backside that I need (but in a nice way ) We did have a laugh on the phone as well and I think it will be money well spent.
She does the colour thingy, body shape etc and then once she has found out about YOU she will then help you tackle your wardrobe:)

I already feel a million times better about it like a weight lifted and am getting the help I need as all my friends are hoarders and would say what are you getting rid of that for

My husband was listening to my side of the convo and you should have seen his face He was looking so puzzled it was so funny.When I told him was it was about he just said whatever makes you happy But I could have told you you will never wear the long flowery dresses as its just not you :rotfl:and you have about 10 they can all go Maybe I should get him to overhaul my lifestyle.Hmm maybe not with his dress sense :rotfl:

So, happy for you, iTwin!

I've just spent ages, trying to figure out my colours! Doing quizzes, reading about undertones, holding clothes against my face... :eek:

THEN, I found this! A really cool automatic colour wheel by Adobe, as I know my 2 base colours - indigo and chocolate.

Playing with the different 'Colour Rules' has shown me that I have several outfits, based on 2 long jersey cardis (one in each colour)! And not a Barbie-pink item amongst them!

Now I'm going to weed my clothes again, so everything will go with everything else! So, now, I should be able to get dressed blindfold and look stunning! Yipee! :dance:

Just been to stay with a friend, and I mentioned that I'd been 'purging' my possessions. She confessed that she thinks she's got a slight hoarding tendency, would I help her sort some clothes? :j bring it on, of course I would!

She decided to do coats. Armfuls appeared - winter coats, leather jackets, waterproofs ... She picked up the first one, 'what do you think?' she asked. 'Doesn't matter what I think - how do you feel about it?' I replied. We went through in about 30 minutes, some were an immediate 'I love this'. A couple went on a 'maybe' pile, but by the time we'd finished she knew she didn't love them. It got quicker as we went on, as she was able to say 'love it/never worn it/don't like it any more'. I didn't count how many were kept but quite a lot. I bagged up the discarded ones - a staggering total of THIRTY ONE coats and jackets! :eek:

Quite a few of these were CS bargains, but even so it's a heck of a lot of money. She'd like me to go back and help with her other clothes! I have taken two bin bags to the CS for her today, I didn't dare give them all four bin bags as they are a very small shop, I'll take them to a different CS on Monday.

She said it feels 'liberating'!

Very new to this, have only scanned the book, but 3 bags out from the back room. Wine rack on streetlife giveaway, many old bottles of booze down the plughole (did you know sangria turns to tar after xx years?, whereas Polish Sliwovice (sp?) has cleaned my u-bend a treat!).

Hi all - loving the speed you are moving on all this - I have been stalled by more sorting for DS!! Just returned from a charity shop shift.
I am having full image consultation including colours ( swatch of 42 to keep) style and make up - and worked out it will be = to £1 per week over next five years! A lot I know but I could waste more than that in very poor buys!! I am using it more for the confidence thing as my body image in my head is still at a 20 though I am now a 12/14 depending on the cut.


Just about to do more paperwork but re-read some chapters of the book this morning before I got out of bed and realise I need to re-visit the books and actually hold them - maybe tomorrow.

iQueen at getting dressed blindfolded! Sounds as if you'll be able to do just that, though.

I've enjoyed reading about people's school uniforms. I went to several schools, as my dad's job meant we moved every couple of years. First secondary school - dark green serge gym tunic (the skirt had pleats, the top was fitted) in the winter, dark green pleated skirt made of some kind of thick cotton in the summer. The senior girls wore Terylene box-pleated skirts all year round.

Next secondary school we wore black wool blazers (polyester ones not on the market in those days) and no one ever wanted a new blazer no matter how scruffy they got, because in a new blazer you'd look as if you were new to the school. At one point I grudgingly agreed to have a new blazer as long as I could keep the old grubby badge
