I can, hands up, say that during winter I am not very adventurous with colour, despite my preaching of the importance of brightening up your wardrobe. Yep, I am guilty. But of all the colours I think I could deal with, darker shades of blue are completely doable with my existing closet, and honestly, I am talking about navy. Navy is a rich and luxurious shade and is so easy to wear and wear well. My preference is for blazers, which can make any bright colour dress or top look timeless rather than trendy.

I was at a wedding recently where the colour purple was a dominant shade of hat, dress, shoes, etc. Now I have never really been that much of a fan, but given that come autumn/winter, we are going to see 50 shades of it everywhere, I thought I would give it a chance. It needs to prove itself to me. It is definitely not the easiest colour to wear, I find it quite draining on my pale skin tone, but worn in splashes here and there can make it a very elegant hue indeed.
