Shades of You: How Color Analysis Can Transform Your Wardrobe

BY Amelia Rose Smith

Seasonal color analysis  — a big trend in the 1980s — is back! This time it has returned for a younger generation determined to find out whether they are a winter, spring, summer or autumn. With the recent change of seasons, what better time to delve into the world, or might I say, the House of Colour! 

 Jessa Anderson, a musician and worship leader, chanced upon House of Colour during a visit to her in-laws in Iowa. Jessa, along with a group of four women, had the idea to get their “colors done” by a local Image Consultant. Not familiar with this process, Jessa joined in on the adventure. She admitted, “I went into my analysis thinking: Can you just give me black? Because, as a busy mom, it was my signature color. But I couldn’t believe the difference in my appearance when I saw the navy versus black on me.”  

 

Blown away by the process, Jessa fully embraced her summer season, going from a mostly black wardrobe to thriving in her summer palette! She shared, “It gave me permission to broaden my horizons and try colors in my palette that I wasn’t familiar with.” Postpartum from her fourth child, Jessa began to enjoy shopping and slowly but surely revised her wardrobe at a pace that felt natural.

 

A year later, Jessa was still thinking about House of Colour and the eye-opening impact it had on her. “Seeing the process was so fascinating, undeniable and FUN! I wanted others to experience that transformation,” said Jessa. Now, she is an expert Image Consultant, trained in House of Colour’s science-based color analysis process.
