Spring is here!
My garden is full of robins, which got me thinking about one of my favorite buys ever, my robin’s egg blue spring coat.
Like a trench coat, this double breasted “Jackie O” style is a classic. I’ve had lots of wear out of it over the years.
It’s a great example how the right color can make all the difference.
In the color analysis world, I am a “SPRING” which means I look best in light, warm, clear colors of a spring garden.
(Can you imagine this coat in black on me? It would wash the life out of me)
