I have noticed recently that when I wake up in the morning, I enjoy the feeling of putting a different combo of colours and fabrics together. But after a few months, sometimes my wardrobe depresses me. Not just makes me think, "hm, I need to go shopping," but actually makes me not want to wake up in the morning.

Or perhaps someone is, hypothetically, fired or dumped one day. Perhaps everyone around you is making you feel gross or ugly.

THE SOLUTION?

Get a new haircut, buy a new pair of shoes, clear out old clothes to donate, buy a new statement piece of clothing...All of this is considered "retail therapy." Just the feeling of fresh and new things for YOU, just YOU, is enough to make anyone smile.

Do you believe in retail therapy?

 There comes a point in every female's life when she is faced with the question-

"What do I wear?"

In this case, I am debating dress shopping, the most terrible and intimidating of all shopping.

(Is yellow appropriate for any light skin tone?)

I have learned in the recent past that if there is a party, gala, social event...always start looking for dresses as soon as you know the theme and whatnot.

My question is, how do you know what colour to wear?

I have a very light beige tone of skin, and my hair colour varies, but is usually very dark (I currently sport a dark turquoise with violet lowlights).

What is the best colour for someone with beige skin and dark hair? What is the best way to know which colour looks best on you, especially with dresses?
