Hi, I'm Jill
A few years ago, I saw a video of someone getting their colors done. You know the kind — dreamy lighting, perfectly draped silks, a color expert holding swatches like they’re auditioning for Broadway. I was immediately obsessed. Then I saw the price tag (yikes!) and realized I’d need a babysitter, an actual appointment, and probably a whole afternoon I didn’t have.
So, like any millennial mom with a marketing background and zero chill, I thought: I can build a better version of this.
Then life threw me a curveball. I was diagnosed with breast cancer. That experience has a way of clarifying things — what you love, what you want, and what you’re no longer willing to wait for. After getting a new set of ta-tas, I decided to bet on myself and launch something I’d been dreaming about.
That’s how The Glow Guide was born. A service that makes color analysis feel fun, fast, and actually doable — whether you're in full glam or still in your pajamas.
I personally look at every single order that comes in. No robots. No creepy shortcuts. Just a real person who wants you to feel like your best, brightest self. Because color isn’t just about clothes — it’s about confidence, clarity, and showing up fully as you.
So, whether you're here out of curiosity, chaos, or because your best friend told you to — I’m glad you are.
Let’s find your glow.
— Jill

What Is a Color Season, Really?
You’ve heard your friend say she’s a “True Summer.” But what is a color season? Seasonal color analysis is a way of figuring out which colors actually flatter your skin tone, hair, and eyes. The idea is that everyone has a natural palette—and when you wear colors that match it, you look more alive, fresh, and glow-y.

How I Use My Soft Summer Colors When Shopping (and How It Takes the Stress Out of It)
As someone who’s always loved clothes but hated feeling like I was guessing what would look good on me, I can honestly say knowing my color season has totally changed the way I shop. I'm a Soft Summer, which means my best colors are those cool, muted tones. Think dusty rose, soft mauve, muted teal, and smoky blues. Once I found my color season, shopping went from overwhelming to kind of fun (yes, really!). I Keep My Color Palette Saved on My Phone First things first: I never shop without my color palette. I have my Soft Summer color palette saved as a photo in my favorites folder on my phone, and I pull it out anytime I’m thinking about buying something. Whether I’m at Target, scrolling through Nordstrom’s sale section, or eyeing something in a boutique, I literally hold up my phone next to an item and compare. Does this sweater match one of my dusty blues or soft lilacs? If not, I know to skip it. It’s like having a little color expert in my pocket. And honestly? It takes so much of the stress out of shopping. I don’t waste time trying on a dozen things that are “meh” on me. I already know what shades are going to flatter me. Shopping Online? I Filter by Color First When I’m shopping online I always use the color filter first. I’ll head straight to the “blu,e” or “green” categories and scan for shades that look like they’ll fall into my Soft Summer world. Once you know what tones work for you, it’s easier to spot when a “blue” is too bright (hello, Clear Spring) or when a “green” is too warm (probably better for a Warm Autumn). Filtering by color saves me from endless scrolling and frustration. And bonus: I’m not constantly returning things because “it just didn’t look right” when I put it on. How Accessories Like Scarves Make Everything Work One of my favorite ways to make an outfit look pulled together — even when I’m working with a closet that’s not perfectly Soft Summer yet — is to throw on a scarf in one of my best colors. Like, I can be wearing a super basic white tee and jeans, but if I add a scarf in that perfect muted plum or dusty teal? Instantly looks intentional. Hats work too — a Soft Summer taupe or soft gray beanie has saved many a rushed school drop-off look for me. Why This Makes Shopping (and Life) Easier Before I knew my color season, I would stand in stores holding things up and hoping they’d look good. I’d buy something because it was trendy or on sale, only to let it sit in my closet untouched because it made me look tired (and who needs that?). Now? If something doesn’t fit within my colors, I don’t even bother. And the stuff I do buy? I actually wear it, because it looks like it was made for me. Want to Find Your Color Season? If you’ve ever wondered, what’s the best color for me? — that’s literally why I started My Color Season. I wanted to make finding your color season simple and affordable (because I didn’t have $300 and a whole day to go see someone in person either!). You just send me a few selfies, answer some easy questions, and I’ll do the color analysis for you. You’ll get a personalized color palette, like the one I keep on my phone, so you can start shopping with confidence too.
