Contrast
As a Light Summer, your overall level of contrast is low. In other words, your skin, hair and eyes don't differ greatly in how dark or light they are. You can see this most clearly in a black-and-white photo.
So to create the look nature meant you to have, it's not enough just to wear the colors in your palette. It's also important for your clothes to echo your natural low level of contrast. This means that the colors you combine should resemble each other in hue or value.
Combining slightly different shades of one hue, such a light blue with a medium blue, will look incredible on you.
Combining neighboring hues with the same level of lightness, such as a light blue with a light blue-green, will also look fantastic.
