Personal Color Charting Helps You Save Money on Clothing

What is Personal Color Charting?

Have you ever heard of personal color charting? Personal color charting is a method to determine what colors will look best on you, based on skin color. There are usually four different sets of colors, such as spring, summer, fall and winter or lately, soft, medium, deep and rich. I used to spend a lot of money on clothing and would receive compliments such as, "That is a beautiful sweater you are wearing." Those compliments were very gratifying. After I began to use the personal color charting to select my clothing, I would receive compliments such as, "You look lovely today". The recognition was for me, not the clothing; I liked that much better! Black was not a color for me and anytime I would wear black against my face I would get comments of, "Do you feel well today?" The difference was astounding.

Personal Color Charting gives quality rather than quantity:

Color charting is a way anyone can save big on clothing purchases for either women or men. How does personal color charting save? By using the color charting for clothing and accessory purchases, you can cut down on two thirds of the clothing in your closet, saving hundreds, if not thousands of dollars, depending on your shopping habits.

Clothing and accessories purchased with color charting will color co-ordinate automatically. When you purchase a new item all accessories and other clothing in your wardrobe will be interchangeable, thus enabling you to create several outfits from a few basic pieces.

Personal Color charting saves time:

I dislike shopping and avoid it if I can. I definitely will not go shopping with a woman that likes to try on everything in the store! I hate that. By using the personal color chart, I can locate my size, scan the rack or items with the color chart in my hand and within minutes, if not seconds, I can tell if there is anything that will fit with my existing wardrobe. If there is and I like the style, only then will I try the item on, thus saving me a lot of personal time to do other things I would rather be doing.

Keeping it simple:

There are only two colors of shoes you need......black and brown. Another accessory with either black or brown in it makes the simple shoe color unnoticeable, thus acceptable. I did like red shoes and would usually have a red pair to wear, but always there was red somewhere in my outfit (a neck scarf perhaps) to compliment the color.

Whether you shop at Sacs Fifth Avenue or your local Thrift Store you can save a lot of money and time by getting and using a Personal Color Chart. Personal Color Charting Services are rather expensive; however, you can get just the color chart. Check out the charts offered by Chata Romano, for example. You can purchase a chart for about $30.00 which is a small price to pay for something that will save many times that amount of money and just possibly change your entire image for the better.
