Can the colors you wear or the decor in your home truly dictate your happiness? In this episode of Never Too Festive, Elizabeth Hambleton shatters limiting myths about color in fashion and home decor that keep people from embracing their true selves. Hear the touching story of a young girl who thought she could never wear gold jewelry because of a seasonal color analysis label. Elizabeth, having styled over 10,000 individuals, argues for breaking free from these restrictive guidelines, advocating instead for wearing colors that make you feel joyful and confident.

Join us as we dive into empowering style choices that celebrate authenticity. We question the conventional wisdom that suggests sticking to neutral home decor for resale value, and instead, champion living spaces that resonate with your unique personality. Learn how to highlight your favorite features in your wardrobe and let go of arbitrary style rules. By experimenting with what you already own and discovering what you naturally gravitate towards, you can create a personal style that truly reflects who you are. It's time to reclaim your sparkle and redefine your style—not for others, but for yourself.
