Re: For the ladies

(i'm going to cop it for this but...)

read recently in GQ that the tip for blokes who've got no idea on the dress sense front (such as yours truly) that as a fallback position, you're supposed to go with the shirt and/or tie that matches your eye colour.

is that the same thing as your 'colours'?

One of the top colours for me is a blue with a lilac base - my eyes are brown. It is all down to the colour of your skin, you are either a blue based person or a yellow based person. You can tell which one you are by the colour of gold that looks best on you. Of course I was wearing the wrong gold and now I am going to have to get it all dipped. Soon as I put on white gold I could a massive difference.

Perth and Brissie actually - but grew up in the days of Melbourne "Dogs in Space" era. My 10 year old daughter has taken after me and loves black and wants to be a vampire - must be genetic.

Or the old dears on the gold coast and Noosa who wear nothing but white clothing with metalic sandles and skin that looks like my brown leather coach.
