Yes, indeed, and I don't have either the time or money to do a lot of
shopping.  I have found that colour analysis has saved me a lot of
shopping time.  Now I don't bother trying on clothes that I know will
not suit me like I used to do for hours before.

I still spend hours shopping each time I have to either buy bras or
pants because none of them fit me.  I was pleasantly surprised recently
when I tried on a pair of our well-hated CK, and found that not only
were they the only jeans I had tried in my life that fitted me without
any need for alterations, they were also the same price ($30) as most
of the other jeans around.  Could their popularity be due to their
quality? certainly the two pairs I bought feel as though they were cut
for womanly shapes rather than manly ones which simply means that all
the time I would have spent sewing men's jeans to fit me, I can now
spend in more worthy pursuits (should I go guard kibbutzim in Israel,
help freedom fighters in El Salvador, feed little Ethiopian children,
go help bring about the demise of apartheid?)

What are YOU doing Ross with your free time that is so superior to
colour analysis?  Are you sure you haven't been watching a little TV
here and there, maybe even go a few games...  I know, I know, a man's
gotta do what a man's gotta do, work hard, play hard...
