Wrap yourself in a cosy scarf in your own seasonal colour

Dear Babyboomer Women
"The South Wind doth blow
    And we will have snow
    But what will   Rosella
    Do then?  Poor thing!       Southern Hemisphere version   
We could wrap ourselves up in a cosy scarf in our own seasonal colour. 
R wrote yesterday - There's a great way to tie a scarf that fills in the neckline nicely and keeps the scarf situated. Fold a long narrow scarf in half and loop it around your neck. Pull one end through the loop. Twist the loop and pull the other end through. Voilà!

I tried it today and was pleased with the result.



The right colour next to your face can change your whole appearance. What are you -  a spring, summer, fall or winter?

Your seasonal colour range will complement the colouring of your skin, hair and eyes. I am a summer being a blond, with fair skin (tending more towards a blue tinge rather than golden - damn it). A friend of mine has dark hair with similar skin and I would call her a Winter.  Autumn   looks good in the rusts, browns, orange, cream and tend to have skin warmer hues as do Spring who looks good in the clear bright colours.

Winter colors are cool, clear and dark to light intensity. Think of the winter landscape colors. In the low light of winter colors appear darker, but on a bright day with the sun reflecting off snow colors appear pale and icy.

Summer colors are also cool, but muted and medium-light to medium-dark in value. Think of seeing the landscape through a summer heat haze. The colors are muted, paler versions of Winter’s. The light colors are creamy pastel rather than icy.

Autumn colors are warm, muted and medium-light to medium-dark intensity. Think of fall New England landscape colors of rich burnt oranges, reds, golden yellows and sludgy greens.

Spring colors are also warm, but clear and bright with medium to light intensity. Think of the bright clear colors of spring flowers and the new season’s clear, bright green shoots.

Happy scarf tying.
Clara
