Your Cart is Empty
The past year I had the fortune to get to know an amazing couple who uniquely embraced growth through color and brought much inspiration to me personally and professionally. They worked as a team with me to modify their wardrobes, redo their closet and bring all they have learned during their color consultation into other aspects of their lives.
In October, I introduced you to Warm Autumn, Erin Sirianni and now it is my pleasure for you to meet her Cool Winter husband, Danny. While Danny's coloring is dark and cool, his personality is warm and open. As a Realtor and business owner of Sirianni Realty, he understands that real estate decisions are made visually and viscerally. He saw immediately the value in wearing flattering and harmonious colors and promptly incorporated it into his approach to his business.

What prompted you to have a color analysis?
My Warm Autumn wife before she knew she was a Warm Autumn had the idea. One of the best questions I have ever heard was when we first met and Erin asked me if I was willing to grow? No one has ever asked me that and it intrigued me. So to answer your question we both decided to find out our color that best suits us so we can continue growing on our beautiful journey.
How has it changed your life?
The color analysis has simplified my life by simplifying my clothes shopping. It has made it so easy to select certain clothes that fall within my colors. This not only saves me time but also money. Have you ever bought something that wasn't quite right? We all have and it just sits in the closet and you always grab the other item that best suits you. Now, can you imagine all your clothes being the one that suits your best? Wow, it's incredible.
In what ways has it changed the way you approach your business?
I have now incorporated color analysis and Kerry into my business. Kerry is now a teammate of Sirianni Realty where I have all existing and new realtors and brokers visit with Kerry. I give this gift as a benefit of working at our brokerage. If you can show up looking your best why wouldn't you? I believe it's very important to put your client first and by doing this you cannot be thinking about yourself even down to the point of what you are wearing and how you think you look. Our concentration needs to be focused on the best interest of our client.
What has been the biggest challenge?
The biggest challenge is perfecting the exact colors that are yours when buying clothes. Believe it or not there are a lot of black clothes that have many different shades and tones. (see the different black shoes below - the darker, saturated black works better with everything in my closet). Not all of these tones and shades are mine so figuring out which ones are the most challenging. My colors are usually found most the year besides my actual season of cool winter, however some other colors are more difficult to find and are only available during your color season so this can be difficult also.
Any interesting things happen while you were wearing your colors?
The most interesting thing that has happened to me when I'm fully embracing my correct colors is I get a large number of compliments on what I'm wearing. It's pretty funny because it happens almost every time without fail.
What was the biggest surprise?
My biggest surprise is I was pretty close to what my color analysis determined I was. This helped me not purging everything and allowed me to get rid of some items and just add to my current wardrobe.
Tell me about your favorite color in your palette.
My favorite color has always been black so when Kerry did the color analysis and black was one of my colors and one of my dominant colors I couldn't be happier.
Tell me about your closet.
My closet now is complete with all my correct colors based on Kerry's analysis. Erin and I also decided to remodel our closet to give us a better view and more space to continue our color analysis journey. It's never been easier to get dressed in the morning because no matter what clothes I grab they all are the right ones. Kerry also came to our house to help us get rid of any colors that didn't fall into our analysis which was a huge help.
Besides the great color analysis we have also gained a great friend in Kerry. She is a true professional who has passion in what she does. You cannot beat love and passion and this is what Kerry brings to the table.
How fun it was one evening last autumn to run into Danny and Erin and Cool Summer, Anne Stout! Thank you Danny and Erin and Anne for being enthusiastic clients, inspiring professionals and now dear friends!

I am thrilled to introduce you to my friend, colleague and dreamwork mentor, Warm Spring Kristina Hutch Matthews. Kristina is an artist, writer, animal lover, healing arts practitioner and so much more! Her mother is also an accomplished and prolific artist and together they run the Penfield Arts Center.
We immediately clicked when we met and I was excited to give her a color analysis given her natural talent for all things aesthetic. I wasn't surprised to see her closet immediately following the analysis was filled with muted colors. That is typical these days, especially for those with a creative style. But, I was shocked to see her closet a few months ago. She has completely transformed it from the dusty colors of the past to lighter and brighter colors focused especially on the warmth of Warm Spring. She has learned that the golden browns of her hair and eyes work perfectly as neutrals replacing blacks and grays.
Over the years, I have utilized many personal development tools but it was Kristina's dreamwork class that has given me the most incredible AHA moments. I thought the class would be fun and interesting and help me understand why I saw a whale or something like that but dreamwork is so much more!! Kristina has a talent for giving feedback and fresh insight into a situation that may be challenging or lingering from the past. My understanding of how to remember and process dreams has truly been life changing and transformative. Kristina has brought so much color into my life!

What fun to introduce the incredibly colorful Bright Spring, Natalie Rae Dickerson! I met Natalie when she was in the process of taking over the fabulous fine clothing store, Panache Consignment from my client and colleague Joan Lincoln. Meeting Natalie was like a burst of fresh air. She radiated warmth and vibrancy and was very game to learn more about what colors would be ideal for her. It was no surprise that she absolutely popped in the bright colors and that she jumped right in head first into wearing them. Every time I pop in to the shop, she is shining in some new combination of her colors. She redesigned the store to be organized by color and I find it so easy to find colors for myself and my clients.

It is a thrill to introduce you to Bright Winter, Bianca Calascibetta founder of UCO, a creative marketing firm. When she enthusiastically called me to schedule a color analysis after seeing another client of mine looking pulled together, I knew I had to get her in for a consultation asap. Her excitement was infectious and it only increased when she saw herself in her colors and out of the drab bronzers and muddy cosmetics she had been wearing. Her BRIGHT personality and dramatic but romantic style suited the bold, saturated colors. When I had the pleasure of helping her edit her closet, I could see that she was used to toning herself down with dull colors so that she didn't stand out. How refreshing to see her in colors and styles that suit her personality and coloring. The affect is harmonious and draws you in. Learn more about her experience and unique insights in this month's blog.
