On Saturday morning I finally cleared the clothes I never wear from my work wardrobe. I have very fair skin, naturally blonde hair, and blue eyes, so I expected the remaining pieces to work together fairly easily. Instead, anything close to camel makes me look much duller, especially under the lights in our office. Colours such as gentle greys seem calmer, although I cannot tell whether that is a real pattern or simply preference. A recent photo in a dusty rose jumper made the difference noticeable enough that I want a sensible method before replacing the basics. I keep wondering whether I am reacting to my skin undertone. To test a few sensible directions, I used as a helpful way to narrow things down. Now I plan to compare the same two tops in video calls before choosing between a muted green shirt. I am trying to keep the experiment cheap, repeatable, and practical. What would you test first before replacing the basic pieces?
