Pure and Simple is an abridged version of the classic Science of Personal Dress Complete Study. It is a timely concise overview of the art of dress designed for those wanting to know the "what, why and how's" for their own personal beauty expertise and satisfaction.

This work goes far beyond the limited 4 season approach to color analysis and teaches universal principles based Nature's Universal Language of Color and Line. This book is not fashion-it is a thesis regarding what is appropriate, comfortable and natural for each body type. Consequently, personal dress becomes an exacting science by simple formulae. This teaching covers 4 ASPECTS OF DRESS:

ASPECT 1. RIGHT COLORS

For the first time, hair and eye colors have been charted and vibrationally arranged into harmonic sequences of warm, cool and balanced colors. Illustrated charts are provided so that you can easily see where you fit into the scheme of things. Your Homebase colors will be a Spring, Summer, Autumn or Winter. Balanced, Inter-season colors are added for those that need balanced in-between colors determined according to their traits. All the Homebase colors and Balanced Inter-season color groups are laid out and colorfully illustrated.

ASPECT 2. RIGHT COLOR COMBINATIONS
Based on combining colors to avoid looking blurred and out of focus. The Law of Attraction sets the stage and the importance of Balanced Colors are further explained and defined.

Repeating one's contrast, how to use black and white, makeup and accessories. Inter-season wardrobe plans are completely detailed and illustrated.
