white, never color???? Uh uh, no way. First that would make 3/4 of
my
wardrobe fashion don'ts and second, I still like black with color
dammit.
Ooooh me too on the color!! I love color with black no matter what
they say. It perks me up and I feel like it perks up my skintone, too.
Being open to change is good and all of us get into ruts. But IMO all
of us have a few basic styles and preferences that make us "us" and
that we should keep, fashion guru advice aside. Wearing black w/
bright
colors is one of mine.

I really like both shows and I've watched some of the UK, WNTW shows
during the day a few weeks ago and they were hour long episodes. I'm
assuming these are new shows. They would meet up with dozens and
dozens of women wanting to be made over and would pick 2 each episode.
They would go to their homes, talk to friends and family and 'live' the
women's lives for one day. Very interesting shows! What I like better
about the US version is we see the makeovers beginning to end. What I
mean is we see Nick's cuts, color, and advice on how to style their new
hair do's. Carmindy gives great advice, do's AND don'ts, on eye
shadow, blush, concealer, lip color, and skin care. That's the only
thing I don't like about the UK version; they appear after all the
shopping with new hair styles and "faces" with no clue about the
makeovers from the neck up. And that's part of the overall 'new
person.'
