I mean this mostly for other black women, do you try to find colors that match your skin color or do you just shop for w/e is cute?

Because my mom always taught my sister and I to wear colors that match our skin tones because she said certain shades of brown skin can make a person look even better if they wear the right colors! lo. My mom is really dark and she said her color looks really nice with white clothes or reds (I agree!), and I'm brown/caramel colored and she always tells me to buy pinks and other really colorful clothes because it makes my brown skin look even prettier. My sister too, (she's yellow) and buys colors.

Am I alone, do any other black women shop for clothes that match your skin tone??
 
I wear black most of the time because it looks the best on me, but I'm starting to get into more colors. I hate pink but I discovered that certain shades of pink flatter my complexion quite nicely so I wear pink perhaps four times a year. My favorite colors to wear besides black are fall colors like dark browns and dark greens. I also like dark blues. Dark hues work well with my skin tone as well.

I tend to stray away from bright neon-ish colors because I think they look wild.

I hardly wear white but since my man thinks it looks so nice on me, I'll try to wear it more often.
 
It's not JUST black women that do that... All women, PERIOD do it also.

That's also why we wear certain shades of make-up... Some colors suit us better than other. My skin tone goes well with warm colors and Earth tones like gold, brown, yellow, and army green.
