How to choose colors that flatter you.

Oh, yes, we all hold on to that little black dress. You know the one... We think it looks great in almost any social situation. And it really does.
However, as women get older, we tend to have paler skin, and wearing black can create harsh contrast which emphasizes dark areas under our eyes and chin. Adding a pop of color with a great necklace or scarf that goes with your hair and eye color lessens that washed out look.
Jamie Lee Curtis looks pretty good in plain black, but I think she looks even better with this purple scarf.
Neon colors make most of us look sallow. Pastels can make you look washed out. But most jewel colors give us a happy, radiant glow.
Here is how to pick colors that work for you:
Amethyst is a good choice for women who have brown hair with blonde highlights. The blue tones in this rich purple add warm tones to your skin. Other dark colors may make you look drab.
Sapphire looks great with blue eyes. A lovely necklace in shades of brilliant blue helps focus on one of your best features.
Women with light mocha to deep chocolate skin tones are stunning in deep garnet or ruby red.
Redheads who choose emerald green look amazing.

Pinks or citrine neutralize sallowness in fair Asian skin tone.
Jewel tones add vibrancy to silver haired women. Try emerald, sapphire, and ruby.
A cool coral is one of the few colors that compliment most skin tones.
Bring life to any skin tone with a necklace in your best color.
