Not exactly what I meant. Though more clothing would indeed be a good idea in this case.

Whatever for, Elana? Perhaps I'm trying to learn. Why should I remove it? Isn't that what this thread is about?

The schedule varies greatly depending on which items of clothing one requires.

It's far too complicated, so we cannot provide a general schedule.

Which do you prefer?



The green one? Is it Tznius?

For the men man in my life:



Yes, green.



For those relaxing moments when they're he's at home thinking about me.

For those intimate moments void of touching let the clothes do the connecting:








(so in LOVE)

So what do you think?

GASP!!!! I've heard a few others say that as well. And then I've heard some say they loved them. Sometimes it's nice to know what season you are vs. trying to figure it out. I told you to send your photo. wink.gif

well, aren't those books supposed to help to try to figure it out? how can you just "know"? it's frm books as those that you learn.

i'm sure, those with colors just liek the book pictures, would love it.

I promise....

Doesn't it (the book) elaborate on the eyes? The shape, design, et al? It can be difficult to tell sometimes.

Elana
hm, and why am i afraid to trust you? maybe it's the picture? tongue.gif just kidding.
i can't pm the pic (dont' know how to). if you give me your email address, i can email it to you.

it lists the colors of eyes, jsut as it does with hair and skin; i just never found my combo. the closest i got is "cool summer"

also, the color palletes there are so... outdated. i know, colors are colors, but still...

This picture reminds me of a couple in their mid 50's that were in front of me in a line at the bank a few weeks back, except that their matching shirts were black with some southwest looking landscape which went around the entire top of the shirt. It was definitely one of the ugliest things I had ever seen, but seeing them side by side in duplicate was even worse.

Elana - It's mostly about the color of your skin tone from what I recall, not hair or eye color. I will see if I can find a place where you can get it done professionaly in the NY area. I'll get back to you. smile.gif
Elana
no, those books do base their descriptions on hair and eyes, as well as skin tone (i remembered you mentioning the person who did it for you didn't pay attention to hair, but these books do.) i actually think it only makes sense to take into account hair and eyes color; how can you judge only from the skin?

don't work too hard, i'm sure it's expensive sad.gif

Elana - I found a website that should be able to help you figure this out once and for all, plus it includes a toll free number to call if you have any questions. All you need to do is follow the three easy steps listed. You can also PM me if you have any questions. smile.gif

Excerpt from the website
Your season is determined by the undertone of your skin - either warm or cool. Since we can't see undertone, a draping of fabric colors is used to determine whether it's warm or cool. Our 20 years of experience has enabled us to come up with a simplified way to determine your season without the draping process by analyzing your hair and eye color.


* People with the same or similar hair color very often have very different skin tones, which is why this usually drape your hair during the analysis. That was certainly the case with two of my sisters who are the polar opposite of me with respect to seasons. That said, this company apparently has found a way to assist you in figuring it out based on hair and eye color based on their years of experience (see above), but the best way is still based on skin tone alone.

tthanks!
they say even if your hair is colored, to use the natural hair color. now, should i use my shaitel's color or the natural hair?

(no, i'm not a natural brunette with a blond shaitel)

You need to use your natural hair color, as this really is about skin tone not hair color. They just use hair and eye color as guides to help figure out what your natural skin undertone is, based on generalizations from years of experience. It makes no difference whatsoever what color your shaitel is in determining your season.
