![]() Furthermore, she attempted to add elements that were eye catching in design while reapplying the same tired grayed colours. She then returned to wearing only Soft Summer grayed-blue, mauve, and gray blue exclusively, but found that her true beauty continued to fade away. After briefly trying to wear black, pure white and bold clear jewel tones, these choices only washed away her vitality. Sharp and confident in his Winter wardrobe, Judy wondered if she might be a Winter as well. Searching for clarity, she even looked at her husband who had the same blue eyes and silver hair as she did. Looking back before her 12 Blueprints draping, the clothes in her closet for decades seemed frumpy. Living creatively, she always wore artistic vintage up-cycled, hand made, and stylish retail pieces, but the outfits seemed dowdy. The concept of the Neutral Seasons, which was added later in the history of PCA, was familiar to her in name only. Here lies the key to her disgruntled fashion journey. She knew herself to be a Summer then but felt a never-ending frustration while dressing as a Soft Summer. Way back in the MTV 80’s as a young woman, Judy had discovered the concept of Seasons and how it applies to human colouring. PCA and 12 Blueprints have been major players in her ability to fully embrace the early 70’s stage of life with inspired, optimistic elegance. ![]() Grateful for good health and energy, each day is an opportunity for meeting with like-minded creative friends, sharing casual chic on her blog fancified.ca and living a True Summer stylish life. On neighbourhood walks, funky thrift and vintage shops inspire and provide materials for developing her self-expression. Experiencing ethnic restaurants, attending film festivals and exploring nearby city park nature trails are all cherished. In Judy’s words and mine, very near how the segment will appear in the book,Īfter working and raising a family during their 46 years of marriage, Judy and her husband, both in their early 70’s, have downsized to city apartment living for the last 10 years. You will see how creative Judy is, with blog posts of crafts, including the skirt in the featured image. ![]() Visit Judy's blog at fancified.ca to find more images of one woman's vision of True Summer. She recognized her story and wanted to share her journey with you. Judy and I happened to reconnect during the writing stages of the book (it is now being formatted, meaning that a Word doc is being made into a book file and the covers are being designed). ![]() In some cases, the clients themselves participated in writing their stories. The stories are compilations of several clients’ experiences and examples from my imagination to illustrate the role of a point of theory in how one person might use their palette. The snapshots are stories of real people and how they applied their palette, putting the theory into practice. The Season chapters are essentially that, with picture and analogies to bring the palette to life. As our clients begin shopping with their palette, and this was my experience also, an instruction manual would be mighty helpful. Where the many systems intersect might begin to scratch the surface, and the river beneath is far deeper. An image classification system, however artistically applied, is unable to describe the nuances of a human being. The Persona sections are still there because people ask for them, with reminders from me that they are purely entertainment. The 12 Season chapters are still there, describing how each of the 12 palettes might be used to create the synchronized and harmonious outcome that expresses who you are most effectively.Ī few segments have been added or deleted. The format is the same as the previous book, including a blend of what makes personal colour analysis (PCA) a powerful means of looking and feeling better and how I believe it works from this time in my own trajectory. Season is where we begin, the formula that applies to all members of the group, the springboard from which each person builds the composition of their appearance. If there were a theme, it might be that we are individuals within our Season. The second edition of the book, Return to Your Natural Colours, will be at Amazon around late November and I will announce it here when it happens. Today’s post is a preview.
