SHOW YOURSELF IN YOUR TRUE COLOURS!
Does your personality show through your clothes? (You want to watch what you wear, luv!). No, really, you can tell a lot about people by the colours they wear - especially if they seem to favour one particular colour! To find out a bit more about your friends and also what type you are yourself, look over the colours we've chosen below as example.
REDS
If you seem to have more red gear looming out of your wardrobe than any other colour then as far as you're concerned RED certainly doesn't mean Stop! You're the ''all systems go'' type, with no holds barred! You'll go all out to get what you want and if anything looks like standing in your way you can surmount it with the minimum of effort. Male-wise you go to the top. Good-looking, plenty cash to see you have a good time, but he has to have an understanding nature because YOUR way is ALWAYS best! Get yourself easily spotted in this one-button blazer and reverse print shirt. The shirt has long sleeves and stops at the waist. Complete your outfit with a flirty skating skirt and hat.

BLUES
Lots of ''blue'' people are really ''reds'' in disguise because blue is the soft shade of innocence and a lot of crafty ''reds'' would like to think of themselves as such! But true blues are easily spotted. They have this warm friendliness about them which never fails to capture the hearts of those around. Love is the mainstay of their lives. Without it they can't survive so, needless to say, they are rarely without the company of a dishy bloke. Have a fit of the blues—the happy kind of course—in a short skirt and sexy stockings.
