My very favourite colour to wear is orange...I love all shades of orange, but my favourite shade would be paprika. When I wear orange I feel alive and energetic and confident.
My summer wardrobe is built around orange. I wear the paprika and darker orange shades in the winter, usually with browns and sage green. I'm not a huge fan of green, but have somehow ended up with a lot of the sage green (it's the only shade of green I'll wear) in my wardrobe, probably because it mixes well with the orange and browns. I also like wearing brown, chocolate brown.

I like most colors, but when I look in my closet I don't have any green or purple. I like fresh bright colors. And I don't care for patterns, unless they blend with each other. At work, I like wearing a blazer, ( my favourite one is sky blue with a black collar). With it, I wear a black skirt and black nylons.
In summer, I love turquis. It's my favourite color.
Dotsie, did Dancer's analogy hit home? Pretty intersting stuff.

Anno, I got to that point several years ago, of looking in my closet and seeing mostly blacks, greys and khaki greens. Not bad colours, but dreary if that's all you see all the time. Over the years I've been making a point of shopping the end-of-season sales for different colours...sometimes I can get away with wearing them right away, but even if I have to be patient and wait until the next season, it's still worth it. Now I look in my closet and see a nice mixture of oranges, paprikas, pinks, turquoise and peach colours - they all go well with - and spice up - the old not-so-dreary-anymore colours. Even if you start with one red t-shirt/blouse, it's probably enough to give you that tiny shiver of anticipation...and always remember, YOU'RE WORTH IT!

I love bright colors. Since I spent 20 years of my life wearing white, I won't go near it now and besides, it makes me look dead! Black does the same thing, although I do have a favorite black sweater I wear occasionally. I like the 'electric' colors in pink, blue, green, red. I can't wear any shade of orange or coral but can wear some peachy shades. My favorite color is red - the clear blue-red, not the orangy one. I will wear prints but only in skirts or pants, never in tops. I just don't like the way they look next to my face. What's in my closet? Mostly dark pants - black, navy, but some tan. My shirts and sweaters are all the colors of the rainbow (except for white and orange!) I like pairing colors in unconventional ways, such as grey with pink or purple with green. It all depends on the shades.

Well, let's see. Eagle Heart: Your choice of orange, and the orange family makes you open to new ideas and new things. It shows a person who is not afraid of the unknown and infact, embraces it. Your colors draw people to you and they are looking for leadership because your colors show them that you can lead. Your liking of brown only shows that you know what to wear with your paprika and orange, etc... Even green shows us that you are a smart dresser. You ar pulled together. You stand out a bit in a crowd and are fine doing that. You are an adventurer at heart, but your main adventure is meeting new people! Hooray for you!
Edelweiss: You show a confident dresser who is not afraid to be open to people. Your dislike of patterns means you have a strong personality and dislike your clothes wearing you. You wear solids because you want your personality to lead. It does lead. Your use of a blazer says that you still have a bit of a need to fit in and that it is probably good in whatever you do. Since you use color under your blazer, you are still welcoming people and showing a pleasing personality that probably gets along with most people. The use of black stockings tells us that you are sexual but not to the point of it being your whole world. You are in touch with your sexuality and show the world a WOMAN, not a person, if you know what I mean. You are an equal opportunity person with very little prejudice. You are open to most and you also hold the fort down, people count on you to do that and you do it well and in style.
Anno, with the information you have given me, you sound like you went through a period where you needed to fit in and not draw attention to yourself. You needed to show that you were all together but really, you were in a period of change. You hunkered down in the dard colors to keep that energy under control and for yourself, you needed it. If you are done with the dark colors, you have passed through that stage and are ready to let people in more. If you truly are ready to give up the blacks and browns, you will make a REAL statement to those who know you and change your life. More people will approach you when you change to color and you will leave yourself open to it. I suggest you start small. Put color with your black or brown. Take Eagle Hearts clue and try an orange or a paprika with your brown pants, even black. I would no try electric colors yet. Remember that pink REALLY weakens your boundries so if you are not ready to open up all the way, avoid it until you feel stronger. If needed, alternate color with your browns and blacks until you feel comfortable wearing all colors with your mood. It's okay to stay in brown or black if you need your energy and do so much for others that you need to keep some for yourself!
Yonuh!! fine to see you! You show a powerful knowledge of who you are. You dress like a woman who has done a whole lot of soul searching and is not afraid to stay one with her soul. You are not only open, you are, how can I say it? You are flying a bit above some with your self knowledge. You are a leader and have been for some time. You are unafraid because of your self knowledge and have some training or education in the mystic arts, or something like it. It could be Indian ways, or some other high area of self knowledge. You are "together," and can help many others if you choose. If you do work, you should be working where you can help many people, you will be very successful. If you are not working, or are an artist, ( I would not be surprised if you were an artist, in fact you are, but maybe not for a living, maybe yes..) Anyway, if you are not working, your calling is art, or in the administration of some help to some peoples. You are admired by many. Tell me, have you worn purple with orange? This would tell me more... , Dancer, hope this helped some or entertained others. Ask questions if you like about change...
