    I had mine done by HOC (House of Colour) too and am an Autumn. I never would have thought of wearing oranges and greens - My face was a picture :eek: when she told me. A few years down the line and DH (I had him done too) and I stick to it 99% of the time. I've paid for style consultation too so I know what cuts, lengths etc of clothes, not just colours. I got rid of nearly all my unsuitable clothes and I love how much better I look and feel. It is totally, totally worth the money, as you no longer buy clothes that don't suit you. I wear a mix of mid price (Alex and Co work suits) and charity shop clothes and look so much better than before, whilst spending less.

    think i might have a new car and some nice holidays, then i'm seriously thinking of buying an apartment to let, and to live in when i retire, so obsessive saving for a deposit will be the next thing! xx
