On 26th April, I’m leading a one-day live event - Advanced Colour Analysis Training Day - in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, UK.

I’ve received lots of emails from colour consultants who would love to be involved but just can’t get to the live training events. 

So if you’re not seriously considering flying in to the UK for this one, or you’re already in the UK but still won’t be able to get to the actual event, this is for you.

We’ve decided to record all the goings-on at the Advanced Colour Analysis Training Day and then produce a physical DVD which will be shipped to your door.

We’ll also include all the course notes from the day itself to create a super-duper Pack of Advanced Colour Analysis Training materials for you to learn from in your own home and in your own time.

To make life simple, we’re calling it the Advanced Colour Analysis Training Pack, and you can pre-order it now.

The Pack will contain:

• a DVD recording of the event which will be posted to you
• comprehensive manuals / course notes taken directly from each of the other sessions on Advanced Colour Analysis Techniques, Communication Skills, and Marketing Your Colour Business
• Q & A portfolio containing all the questions received before the event and those which arise during the event, fully documented with the relevant answers

I had considered giving course delegates the relevant manual / course notes at the beginning of each session but my guess is that we shall all learn loads more as we discuss each topic so I will create the manuals / course notes AFTER the event using my original content plus extra notes taken from the recordings.

As it is clearly going to take some time to collate all the notes, questions and answers from the day plus put together a professional DVD, the Advanced Colour Analysis Training Pack will be shipped out to you when it’s ready - hopefully 17th May.

I’m absolutely done for (and need to sleep for about a week) but really excited that we’ve finally launched our brand-new Advanced Colour Analysis Training Day on April 26th.

If you’ve been trying to build your business all on your own and getting into a bit of a tizz about whether you’re doing it right or not, how to make more money, where to find new clients, etc. then this could be just what you’ve been looking for.

Gosh, I wish I’d had had chance to go on a course like this when I was starting out all those hundreds of years ago. I’d have saved so much time and money on silly marketing ideas that didn’t work. I’d have been able to ask all those daft little questions that niggled away at me for years and years. I’d have built a bigger, more successful, more profitable business a lot earlier… but that’s history now.

Whether you’ve trained with me or not, if you’ve already trained in colour analysis, this brand-new Advanced Colour Analysis Training Day is worth checking out.

Hope to see you there.

After discussing ‘Can an Autumn wear black?‘ you’re probably wondering if Springs and Summers can wear black too. Of course    you  can.

Anyone on the planet can wear black if they want to, but let’s start with Winters, shall we? And only because it’s so readily believed that they’re the only season who CAN wear black - this is such outdated thinking…

If you’re a Winter, you’ll very probably look stunning in black. However, assume nothing. After all, ASSUME just makes an ASS out of yoU and ME.

My friend Annie is a Bright Winter with virtually black hair, pale skin and vivid green eyes and she looks so much better in purplish navy! True black looks far too stark on her. I’ve no idea why; it just does!

If you’re a Winter, try black for yourself before you believe anything anyone says (and that includes me, of course). Check it out with a good image consultant and see how you FEEL in it.

If you’re a Summer, all the books and diagnose-from-a-script experts will tell you that black is far too harsh for your delicate colouring. They might even say that you shouldn’t wear black and that charcoal or navy will probably be better on you.

A friend’s daughter is a truly Light Summer and wearing charcoal makes her look like a lump of coal that’s gone off the boil. I’m not saying a block black is good on her but one of her best outfits is a black-and-ivory-striped jacket with a light pink dress underneath and black court shoes. Stunning!

If you’re a Spring or an Autumn, there will be those who will tell you that because black is a cool colour you should always opt for brown instead.

If you need to look professional for a job or promotion interview, that’s about as much use as a chocolate teapot.

Some shade of brown may actually be your best darkest neutral (go and find out which one) but brown is an earth colour and indicates to the onlooker (without you even having to open your mouth) that you are caring, helpful and sympathetic.

If you’re a therapist or a counsellor, this might be exactly the look you’re aiming for but if you want to be taken seriously in any of the high-flying office-based professions, you need to wear cool colours. The colour psychology section of my training course explains all about this if you’re really interested to find out more.

Grey, navy and black are the archetypal power colours in the business world so, if you have warm colouring AND you want to impress in this world, then you need to try them. Get an image consultant to show you how; you might be pleasantly surprised, just like Jean was.

And if they still look awful, you might want to think again about your choice of profession… (but more of that another time).

A good image consultant should be able to show anyone how to wear any colour at all. And if he/she can’t - or won’t - then find someone else.

To paraphrase Mr. Gable in ‘Gone With The Wind’, "Quite frankly, my dear, I don’t give a wotsit whether you stick to the ‘rules’ or not."

As far as I’m concerned there aren’t any anyway. But it’s your life so only you can decide.

Have you ever wanted to be a Colour and Image Consultant, to show ladies how to LOOK and FEEL wonderful in clothes that you’ve helped them pick out?

If you’ve ever wanted to become an independent image or colour consultant, then this is the self-study training course for you!

Maybe you’ve had your own colours ‘done’ and just loved it so much that you’ve always wanted to do the same for your friends and family? Or perhaps you’d like to earn good money from running your own colour business?

“To anyone interested in this purchase, may I say that I bought the kit a year after I started my business and it was the best investment I could make! It seems like a lot of money, but is well worth it and you will never regret it. Feel free to call or email me if you would like to find out more. (by the way, this was unasked for and I will not get any remuneration when you buy the kit!!).” Colleen Oakley, www.colourconnexion.co.uk
