Proudly offering color analysis, style analysis, wardrobe management, and more in the Greater Burlington Area in Vermont.
Get dressed every day with purpose, ease, and JOY! A color analysis provides you with life-changing information. Using precision-dyed drapes and my extensive training I will prove to you the value of knowing your season; a palette of colors customized to your unique undertones. We apply this information to women, men, and children of all races, ethnicities, and genders. Your season will never change so this is information you can carry with you for a lifetime.
There are three parts to every color session. First is our world-class, scientific draping process that we have refined for excellence and accuracy over the past four decades. Next, I will provide advice on jewellery, watches, glasses, and when applicable: hair and makeup based on your season. Our makeup products will take the guesswork out of choosing colors that highlight your natural beauty. Finally, we'll dive further into your season and choose the best colors for your casual and professional life, discovering your list of WOW colors.
You will leave your appointment with a fan of your seasonal swatches and a brochure full of tips and reminders specific to you that you can reference later to make shopping and wearing your new colors a confident experience!
You should arrive at your analysis free of spray tans and makeup for optimal accuracy. No pictures will be taken without permission, nor are they shared on social media without your consent.
Discover the science behind personal style by unlocking the power of you. During a style analysis, I'll teach you how to combine who you are with how you dress so you can step out into the world looking fabulous as your authentic self. We consider your proportions, personality, and preferences to give you a style framework- we call this a “Clothing Personality. You will confidently know which fabrics, prints, patterns, and accessories, necklines, details, and silhouettes flatter your unique body architecture best. Because we factor your personality into this framework, our style analysis goes a step further to help you identify how you feel in different styles and pieces so your clothing not only looks great but also represents who you are.
For this appointment, you’ll bring 5–10 items from your closet that you LOVE and 5–10 that make you wonder why you don’t feel good when putting them on. We'll use this information to help you discover why you gravitated toward and loved certain pieces and what it is about the others that weren't working for you, so you save time and money in the future! At House of Colour, we believe clothing needs to be adjusted to you, not the other way around. It is our goal to make sure you feel your most confident as who you are and how you look right now.
You’ll leave with a book with detailed information specific to you that we'll fill out during the appointment and a Clothing Personality card with keywords that will help guide you when shopping. If you've already had a color analysis, this card can be inserted into your fan which will make shopping easy and efficient!
This appointment is designed to take the knowledge you gained in your color and/or style appointment and apply it to your own specific wardrobe. I will help you filter through the pieces you don't wear so you can donate them and provide joy to someone else and keep your own closet free from clutter so you can better mix and match pieces in your wardrobe to create more looks with fewer items.

Style Analysis was such an uplifting experience. I felt so understood. I can't wait to explore my style and finally have my outside match my inside. It gave me permission to really lean into the things I told myself to shun ’oh that's too loud, oh that's too weird’ but…Continue Reading

It gave me permission to really lean into the things I told myself to shun ’oh that's too loud, oh that's too weird’ but now I know I can have those things in my closet. Thank you!

Thank you for the amazing color analysis! I would have never guessed I was a SPRING, but as Christina showed me the different colors against my complexion, it totally made sense. Oh, and I never wear lipstick because I’ve always felt it made me look 10 years older, but she…Continue Reading

Thank you for the amazing color analysis! I would have never guessed I was a SPRING, but as Christina showed me the different colors against my complexion, it totally made sense. Oh, and I never wear lipstick because I’ve always felt it made me look 10 years older, but she found shades that looked great! Highly recommended!

The consult was a great experience. Christina- you are a patient and natural teacher, but I had no idea how much fun my daughter would have after the consult. She and I never talked “fashion” much before. Now I get to see her shine and putting together amazing combos. We had both been wearing/hiding in autumn colors and now we are tiptoeing into our bold new colors of spring (me) and summer (her.) Thank you!!
