Endnotes:
I like my coloring.  This may seem like a strange feature to appreciate and certainly would be more fitting to one of our color modules than the proportion modules; but, reading everyone’s lists, I was reminded that my list should include my blue eyes, freckles, and blond hair.
There are days when I wish my skin tone and hair color were more receptive to a bright yellow worn near my face or to a some of S.’s lovely orangey-reds.  But, I love green and blue and especially blue-green and am pleased that these are the colors that also happen to look best on me.
What’s your favored color palette and why?

    This is definitely a great color for you. I love how the shirt dress looks layered over a jersey dress.

    You look great!

    I wear pretty much anything and everything, even if I shouldn’t. I have a really pale olive complexion with light brown hair and brown eyes, and I’ve found that I can get away with a surprising range of colour palettes. Although my favourites are definitely intense pinks and purples, and other extreme brights. Which I find funny now, because when I was in high school and in undergrad, you’d never find me wearing anything but black!

    Brown and green… classic combo. Love the layered shirtdress over a smaller dress. Perfect for colder weather.
