Ever since I started simplifying my wardrobe, I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect black blazer. Oversized, tailored, double- and single-breasted, sleeves down, sleeves rolled up… I honestly can’t tell you how many I’ve ordered, tried on, and returned over the years—which is probably for the best. 🙈

It wasn’t until I started learning more about color analysis that I realized maybe it wasn’t the blazer that was the problem—maybe it was the color.

Last month, I wrote about how finding your best colors can help you simplify your wardrobe. After spending hours sifting through Pinterest graphics and YouTube tutorials over the past few months, I finally figured out my “season” by noticing which colors I look and feel my best in.

I’ll walk you through the simple, 3-step process I created from everything I’ve learned. No drapes, no stylists, no confusing color theory—just what actually helped me figure out my season using what I already owned.

Here’s how I DIY’ed my own color analysis—and how you can, too.

I’m so thrilled you’re here, and I truly appreciate every subscriber. As a reminder, paid subscribers get access to my monthly behind-the-scenes posts (like this one!), as well as workshops and replays, full Q&As, and everything in the archives.

An annual subscription costs less than $3 per month—though if I do my job right and help you stop buying unnecessary stuff, this subscription will more than pay for itself.

If you’re ready to stop second-guessing your closet and start feeling amazing in everything you wear—let’s figure out your best colors. ✨
