Playing dress-up is not just for people.

When I was a little girl, my mother had a book called “Color Me Beautiful” that categorized women as “seasons.” I always wanted to be a dramatic Winter and get to wear bright jewel tones and always fels sorry for the Spring models, who got stuck with the earthy colors I didn’t like.

I was reminded of that old book when I saw this post on the Coldwell Banker blog about choosing the colors for your home decor. Of course, I haven’t heard anyone use seasons to describe their skin tone in years, but I’m going to think of my apartment as a Summer anyway.
