Desperate for Peach! My Gamine Autumn Essence Color ...
Sheesh, I was frustrated! I had a catalog that seemed to have several items in one of my peachy Essence colors. I was planning to buy both the blouse and the shoes. And was pretty excited about it.
But when I pulled them up online, they were too pink. Not close enough to my palette to go for it, either!
Quite the discrepancy between what I saw in the catalog and the way it looked online. In the past, when I have called to check on things like that, I have been encouraged to believe what I see online more than I believe the catalog pic.
So I didn't buy them!
And I did a Google search for peach tops online and bought this instead...
Now that is not a perfect match, either! But it is pretty close. A bit more saturated, but hopefully not too much. I won't know for sure until I get it, but fingers crossed!!
Seems to match the Light Autumn color palette, but it may be even more saturated than that is. If so, I suppose I'll send it back.

Gamine Autumn Birthday Celebration
I spent the weekend hanging out with my mom and my son, and I also went to a Steeped Tea/Pampered Chef party. It was a great weekend for trying out Gamine Autumn outfits!
I think they all worked fairly well. At least one of the shirts I chose is more B-plus than A-plus (possibly two of them) as a match to my Zyla color palette, but I still felt good in them. One of the things I am noticing is that it feels like I see myself more than I see the outfit now.
I'm linking up with Bon Bon Rose Girls today for Monday Mingle!

Metallic Wood Nymph Autumn
Saw this palette in a group on Facebook and was struck by its name and the similarity of its colors to my own Gamine Autumn color palette. And I asked one of the women who owns Divine Color & Style, the custom color analysis service, to describe the personality and really resonated with it as well...
"tenacity, truth-telling, aligned with forest, bark, moss and nature spirits, tender-hearted, service to womankind."
Yep! Sounds like me.
