Another beautiful, heavy nylon sleep ensemble with delicate embroidery trim. What attracted me most was the color combination – pink with taupe beige decoration – a great color combination for me.

If you haven’t “had your colors done”, do it! This process became popular in the ’90’s and was all the rage for a while. It’s a system that educates you about the colors which are most flattering to you, personally, and IT WORKS!

Makes all the difference between wearing things that make you look sick, OK, good or FABULOUS. Even if you think you know what looks good on you, you’ll learn a lot, correct some mistakes and understand your skin color better.

There are several versions of this tutorial around, I think, and I’m not sure how good they all are. My advice is to get an old copy of the book “Color Me Beautiful”, which explains the whole process and lets you do it yourself. At least, that’s what I did.

Why am I talking about this in a blog about vintage clothing? Because knowing your colors well is one of the skills that make you an ace shopper. You’ll avoid mistakes and save money, which is part of what my “instruction” is all about.

Just another one of my little secrets . . . . . . . . . . . .
