It’s Frocktober again and I’m helping to raise much-needed funds for the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation as there is still no early detection test for ovarian cancer (your pap smear doesn’t tell you) and so around 70% of those diagnosed don’t survive past the 5 year mark (scary statistic) as they are not detected early…

How to wear a high colour contrast when you're not high colour contrast

How to Wear a Multi-Coloured Item When You’re Not High Colour Contrast

Accessories, Colour, Wearing ColourBy Imogen LamportSeptember 29, 20173 Comments

I love colour (as regular readers will be aware) and I don’t have a naturally high colour contrast (ideally I’m physically more in the neutral plus 1 colour camp).  But I like to wear more than one colour in patterns as they are often more versatile than a colour plus neutral print, and have found…

Colour, Wearing ColourBy Imogen LamportSeptember 14, 201711 Comments

Orange, a secondary colour that sits between red and yellow on the colour wheel has both a warm overtone and a warm undertone.
