| This was true long before I knew I was a Light Summer. |
I had my colors analyzed in the 12 Blueprints system and found out I was a Light Summer. I also discovered that my personality was very much tied to my colors and was truly fascinated by this. I decided to write out my thoughts about this. If you are a Light Summer with 12 Blueprints Color Analysis then maybe it will resonate with you too. I have no doubt that some of my description has to do with my personal style and body type as well, but maybe, at least, some of it is true for all light summers.

A Light Summer
Light summer is the serene
summer sunrise with a kiss of vibrant spring. This is
calm with some passion and not too serious...a pool of warm clear
blue water with small waves and the sun sparkling on tips of the waves of a
spraying fountain...a day on a sail boat with sails at full mast on a
bright warm day...cool mist in the air on a warm sunny day...the
gentle, but playful lap of the clear blue water at the feet of sunbathers on
the beach...a butterfly with it's delicate wings and vibrant colors withstanding
the strong gals of wind in life...the pale, but still bright color of a cherry
or orange sherbet popsicle dripping on a warm summer
day while playing in the sprinkler on the lawn...a
ballerina dancing to beach or pop music...an attorney wearing pink and grey with
her collar unbuttoned...a pageant girl with a shy, but
mischievous smile on stage. It's the unexpected.
Beyond light summer I'm delicate, but strong...like the pastel,
but radiant beams of a sunrise piercing the darkness...in clothes that means light-hearted and bright, but hazy colors with specific
structure...even if it looks unstructured - it's not messy or sloppy or with no form.
I'm fun with a purpose...everything feels light-hearted, but I know that there is a definite plan and reason for everything...the clothing translation of that would be that it could flutter in the wind, but it's striking and has a very intentional and elegant silhouette.
I am serious, but comforting and amiable, which means, in terms of clothes, that I could wear a color that might seem bland such as grey or beige, but will emphasize the texture or give some subliminal attention to the detailed stitching or lace or unique button embellishments...the outline will be definitively feminine. This is the kiss of spring on summer.

This is the kiss of spring on summer.
My desire is to convey a message of elegance and design in everything I do. As a rose with drops of dew on the petals in the hours of the
sunrise just before the full break of day...never a completely matte face, but
also not a shiny one...just enough moisture to be considered dewy from the
morning mist.
Radiant hair is the best, not because it is over-powering or in your face, but because it accentuates the faint passionate fire mixed with the coolness of a soothing balm beneath my skin. My hair is golden, light, warm like the sun or caramel or an elegant fur. It is the accent to the face and eyes like the cherry on top of an ice cream sundae. It is shiny though not slick. It's as though the sun were beaming out of it or as if it were a smooth mink coat...soft, soothing, warm...silky.

My eyes reflect the sun, but coupled with the calm and comfort of the mist of a summer day to shield from the sun's full strength. There is a hint of mischief in the midst of the serenity of the moment. There is a twinkle of fun and joy in the comfort and calm like the sparkle of the sun on a calm pool of water in a misting fountain.
Light summer is delicate, but strong...elegant, but not fragile...structured, but not rigid...calm, but not boring...striking, but not harsh...vibrant, but not glaringly so...flexible, but stable...creative, but not wandering...soft spoken, but not timid...outgoing, but not brash...sensitive, but not easily offended...warm, but not hot...cool, but not cold...comforting, but not smothering...interdependent, but no more than that...light-hearted, but purposeful...determined, but reasonable...daring, but not too bold...fun with purpose...a level-headed risk-taker...a thoughtful dreamer...a grounded visionary...a quiet champion...a capable leader...a lover of fine art...a creative catalyst.
This is what a light summer sounds like...
The beat never feels loud, brash, or out of place, but it is unmistakably present...it's the spring in the step of the summer's light motion...the sparkle on the breeze. A light summer dances on the very tips of her toes with a spring in her step...it's graceful and fun. Her movements are magical as she floats by with a purposeful quickness in her step. Like a gentle breeze on a warm day, she flutters by almost unnoticed except for the warm caress felt as she passes by. It's as though she has caressed your heart without you knowing simply by being present. Her presence is unmistakable with her calm countenance, warm smile, sparkling eyes, and an energy that lingers long after she walks away. If you could not find your senses to react quickly enough, you may realize she has slipped away without your reaction, but you will know, without a doubt, she was there. She is mysterious as she fluidly and magically dances through life with a profound purposefulness. She is captivating and mesmerizing.
Light summer sparkles in the most graceful way possible...she is the ultimate sophistication and elegance. She is that china face who is standing straight with twinkling eyes that no one can take their eyes off of and who they never forget. She makes people feel like they are the most important in the world and collects friends wherever she goes. She is loyal, discreet, appropriate, and dignified at every turn. Everything she does is subtle, but extraordinary. Her life is full of moments and memories that could be captured and set free in poetry, but the number of them is nearly overwhelming and so often lives on in the soul. This is why she leaves sparkles and sunshine in her wake...she's sharing the beauty of all of the moments and memories that could not be shared in any other way. She is the tranquil moments, the thought-provoking quiet, the beautiful picture imprinted on the mind forever of sweet innocence so perfectly combined with sophisticated femininity. She is not ashamed of her womanliness, but rather revels in its quiet power.

She is a world of opposites, but not to the extreme...she is much of summer with a hint of spring. However, light summer is not simply a mixture of two things - she is never the middle, mediocre, or bland...she is a vibrant rainbow after the rain! She might struggle to take her place among the more flashy, dominant, and overwhelming types in the world. However, once she knows who she is and settles into that knowledge, she becomes more noticeable and memorable than all the others with her quiet radiance and warm eyes. A light summer need not stand and shout...no...a rainbow never shouts, but is rarely, if ever, ignored. She simply stands and shines...and illuminates the hopes and dreams of all in her presence.
A light summer is truly unforgettable
This is how I see a light summer and the best me...though sometimes I tend to try to be something else, I am most as ease when I'm being a light summer. Now to live up to such a description.
Some of this post was inspired by Kathryn Kalisz of Sci/ART and
Christine Scaman's description of a Light Summer on the 12 Blueprints website.
