I want to know why people wear dark colours in winter??? And yes, I do it too, but I bought a new full length coat this winter which is red because I'm so tired of seeing everyone in black. I like to see bright umbrellas too. From choice I wear quite a lot of heather pink, because I like it and it suits me. Also pale and mid blue, deep red....the cool colours (as against hot, not cool as in trendy!) When my hair was brown I wore brown and fawn a lot; now I'm verging on pure white they no longer suit me hence the grey and black. I do wear green skirts and trousers but look dreadful in a green top - my complexion is olive (or sallow when I'm fed up with my face). I looked round my Weight Watchers group one day last summer: everyone was in drab shades and it looked so miserable. Then a lady came in wearing a bright red & white striped top, and it was as if the sun had come out!

ETA: I'm know I'm wearing a green top in my avatar but that is because I give voluntary help at the local Hawk Conservancy and it's their uniform polo shirt.The only time I wear it is when on duty!
