I love black. I'm drawn to it like a magnet and it suits me. Unfortunately a few years ago when I was more impressionable I was often told to wear more brights and I tried but... Thank goodness that's done. I live in a very hot area and luckily I've discovered flesh tones for summer. It'll be interesting to see how I find a way to wear such common colours in a unique way because I really don't like the uniform way a lot of people dress.
Shout-out to Lalita for agreeing to be the "model" for this video. I loved your explanation but would be happy to see more examples. I t's hard for me to translate it to my own style (with different colour palette, Kibbe type and essence) Need to think about it more!
You look gorgeous, Rita 🌞 your hair is lovely. I am an Autumn/ FN and I have a job interview on Wednesday...and here is your new video about color !!! Just perfectly on point for me... you are an angel ✨ thank you so much for your wonderful thoughts 🙏
I LOVE the way you put together this color story in such a specific, detailed way. It’s always refreshing to hear you go so into detail on something fashion related, because it makes me feel not so alone in doing the same type of thing! As someone who identifies with the soft dramatic body type and right down essence, and has warm spring coloring… finally giving up black this year was the best decision I ever made! I held onto it for so long because I thought it was the short cut to looking “mysterious” and “cool” and “sensual” and never understood why I didn’t automatically feel that way when wearing it! Also never thought into if that’s even the image I WANTED to portray. (I also thought I was cool toned for the majority of my life because people told me that, but that’s a story for another day lol…)
Im happy to hear you talk about color because everytime i watch your videoes i always love how the color of your outfits pair with your features perfectly. Im trying to achieve that type of harmony in my wardrobe.
I have made so many color palettes, maybe I will send one! I really liked this video as a left-up person, because I could see exactly how to adjust her recommendations for myself. great explanation
RIta I'm obsessed with your new hair styling!! 😍 Today I learned I have been doing some of these things with color intuitively, but now you've explained it I feel even more empowered to experiment! For example, I use leopard print strategically in my color story even though I'm a summer because I just identify with it so much. It might not be the most harmonious with my palette, but the impact it has is harmonious with the persona I want to project and I couldn't have articulated that before this video! 😊 When I gave myself permission to be as extra as Moira Rose (hehe) I considered how her persona would have been completely different without the black and white color story and that has inspired some of my choices when I dip outside of my summer palette. Just want to share in case it helps someone else. 💞
Yeah I think you + leopard print is a great example. I think leopard has this very "luxury extravagance" vibe so it really adds that flavor even if not strictly your "best colors" 🌸 And thank you! I have discovered that my hair really likes it when I do wavy/curly styling but I'm definitely still learning how!
Love your videos! Your explanation for why Lalita is more down than up was so interesting. It didn't occur to me that bold, powerful and elegant looks could also apply to the down category .
It would be weird to have a system where 1/4th of all people are prohibited from being bold, powerful or elegant 🙂 the left+down people just do it in their own way ❤ I invite you to look at the outfits i showed as examples in case it's confusing how a left/down person could do powerful elegant or bold styles ❤
I’m left+up and that is because I want ppl to perceive me the way I perceive myself. Which is more easy-going and laid-back. Therefore my fits are also more flowy and relaxed but adding some touches unique to me 😊 instead of bold and powerful. I want to be perceived as peaceful.
I found your essence system last week and have just finished this video. I'm going to watch this like 100 times. You're a genius! The idea of colors having energies makes so much sense and is so applicable. Thank you 💕
I loved this video I always find your insights very intriguing and grounded they make a lot of sense and I appreciate the depth of understanding you bring, pulling a lot together very artfully. I also think your essence system is quite special I hope more people start to latch on I might have to book a color talk with you! Thanks for what you do I think you are very good at the deeper observations without loosing your grounding in observable reality Also you look very pretty in this video
Hi Rita, i like your curly Hair, very nice; you are a cool Summer type (Like me), but why does the warm color of the blouse suit you so good? Your blue eyes Pop also with your Orange/apricot coloured eyeshadow...
Can u do a summary of the color lessons that u have gleaned from different systems (that way its not a class on the kibbe color system) but more using your creative "Rita" lens to help us with color
It means nuances/tones/shadows For example in my hair/skin there are many different shades. When choosing colors I look for colors that have some sort of nuances as opposed to sharp/flat/clear colors In outfits I look for things that have different nuances of the same color in a print, or I use pants/top of slightly different shades, or I look for garments that (like the shirt I'm wearing) create a lot of depth/movement/shadow to create many different shades of the color Those aren't all "must haves" they are just ways to create dimensionality

The colour of your blouse suits you perfectly, you look radiant!
Thank you 🥰
Yes I agree! What color does that blouse tend to belong to? Is that a soft summer color?

Your system is genius, Rita! Can't wait for more people to see your work :)
Thank you 🥰

It is not easy! maybe some additional examples in the future or a more detailed "how to" 🌸
You look gorgeous, Rita 🌞 your hair is lovely. I am an Autumn/ FN and I have a job interview on Wednesday...and here is your new video about color !!! Just perfectly on point for me... you are an angel ✨ thank you so much for your wonderful thoughts 🙏
Good luck with your interview!!!

Yeah I had a similar story with giving up black myself
And yeah this is definitely the channel for people who love to go deep into it all 😅
Im happy to hear you talk about color because everytime i watch your videoes i always love how the color of your outfits pair with your features perfectly. Im trying to achieve that type of harmony in my wardrobe.
thank you 🌸 wish you success in your color story
Mine is blue/black/white/red, now I have been shopping for olive and pink 😅
And pine green, my absolute favorite color to wear 😄
I have made so many color palettes, maybe I will send one! I really liked this video as a left-up person, because I could see exactly how to adjust her recommendations for myself. great explanation
Would love to see your color story!
I am an autumn type so my colors are rich and warm. But I am so at home in black, I love the vibe.
OMG. All the examples of left down from Lalita’s neutral color story are so similar to my own wardrobe. Love it. (I am never wearing hot pink though)
You’re my favorite channel
❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you 🌸 I'm glad you're enjoying!
So happy with the lalita example. She’s a soft dramatic like me and also identifies in almost the same essence traits! Loved this video overall.

Your blue eyes Pop also with your Orange/apricot coloured eyeshadow...
The blouse is a cool color and so is my eyeshadow :) I love blue-based browns/tans/beiges for summers
Huge props to Lalita for allowing her pictures to be used like this.
Still not sure if I understand how to make it all in to a wardrobe though
You just fold it in 🙃
Yes! So glad to see this today! Was just talking about this this morning over instagram before the outages xD
Can u do a summary of the color lessons that u have gleaned from different systems (that way its not a class on the kibbe color system) but more using your creative "Rita" lens to help us with color
I actually have a "how to use color with confidence" video coming out in a couple of weeks 🌞🌞🌞
Would you ever do a video on how to find your colors? I’m not sure where to start there
What does dimension mean with colors?
It means nuances/tones/shadows
For example in my hair/skin there are many different shades.
When choosing colors I look for colors that have some sort of nuances as opposed to sharp/flat/clear colors
In outfits I look for things that have different nuances of the same color in a print, or I use pants/top of slightly different shades, or I look for garments that (like the shirt I'm wearing) create a lot of depth/movement/shadow to create many different shades of the color
Those aren't all "must haves" they are just ways to create dimensionality
Starts at 5:45 hate long intros...
I'm working on my pacing -- thank you for your feedback ❤
