This is the third and final part on finding your fashion. Last week I closed with the importance of determining your best colors to wear.
God made the colors of the rainbow for us to appreciate and emulate. You should try your best to find the colors that emphasize your beauty and wear them wisely.
Some colors will flatter your skin, your hair, and your eyes the better than others, but that doesn’t mean you have to avoid some colors completely.
The best way to find “your colors” is to experiment. “Drape” different colors of cloth samples around your neck at your chin-line to see which colors look best on you.
Scarves are popular now and are a great way to check out your colors. Take your mom and/or a few friends shopping and try on shirts in different colors, or try out some scarves.
If you look better in blue while yellow washes you out, but yellow is your favorite color, you still have options. You can buy a yellow purse, yellow pants, or even yellow earrings, but avoid buying yellow shirts.
You’ll be surprised at the variety of colors that look great on you. Wear them all and enjoy them!
As a foundation, buy basic items in solid and neutral colors. You’ll be wearing your basics in neutral tones (black, navy, gray, brown) a long, long time. You might buy red pants to pair with a gray shirt, or a purple skirt to pair with a black top. A brown tee with jean capris would be great with an aqua summer scarf and brown sandals.
Summer is a good time to play with colors and fashion. Always remember, you can dress the part, but it is more important to have the heart.

“All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” 1 Peter 5:5
Personal note from Jody: In my classes with girls, I brought in scarves of different colors. I gave each girl a color-coded chart. We would drape each color scarf over every girl and evaluate whether it was ‘their color’—low, medium, or high. As stated above, if it wasn’t a girl’s ‘best’ color, but it was one of her favorite colors, we found other ways for her to weave it into her fashion statement with accessories. Places like Charming Charlie provide accessories of all kinds very inexpensively. When you go into the store, you quickly see they are sorted by colors. It makes shopping quick, easy, and affordable.
Enjoy the coming summer as you remember to walk in your beauty!
