Our Numbers are growing!...Kristelle

Hi everyone: Just a post so that everyone knows who is subscribed to the posts....that last entry was done by Jennifer Doat in Belgium! (No, I haven't changed into a Type 3, I'm still very much a Type 4!)

So when you want to contribute a post, please let everyone know who you are...maybe in the title? That would make it easy; or at the very least at the very beginning of your post. I did want to open this up to every member of our merry band, so that everyone can talk about what is working for them in their own journey of DYT.

Here's another photo...on the Type 4 FB forum, we're comparing hands, to see the differences and similarities of a Type 4 hand. It's fascinating...you can really see some of the secondary type come out in someone's hands! I think I'm a pretty clear type 4 though, and I don't know enough about a Type 2's hands to tell, but I know I don't have 1 or 3 qualities here for sure. (I must look up that Type 2 definition and see if it fits as my secondary, because that's what I think I am.)

Anyway.....take a look and share your own if you want.

And I just found an awesome red blouse that I'll get a photo of myself in....wow, the wonder of color!

I will also post some of me with different lipsticks....I seem to turn berry colors into red, so that's the way I've found my perfect red (by starting with a berry!).

WELCOME to all the recent new friends who have "found themselves" with this program. I can't wait to hear more from you!

Evolution in the DYT world.... by Jennifer D. (TYPE 3)

Well ladies...i imagine everyone is busy revamping their wardrobe and trying out new outfits and designs......creativity at its best!  :)  Just thought i'd share my past few weeks.  I have been quite involved in my DYT type 3 fb page-posting daily comments and once in a while an OOTD (outfit of the day--new acronymn for me) photo.   A few people on my type 3 site are having some issues with the intensity of the rich dynamic colors...and are eagerly awaiting Spring for wearing their type 3 lighter shades.  For me peronally i wear all shades, both light and dark, all seasons....which i love about DYT---one can put whatever designs and colors they want together as it all works.  I also am a woman who loves layers so my type 3 look is perfect for this!  I am still trying to figure out my secondary energy (although here it is looking like a secondary 4 )...was leaning towards 4, sometimes it's a 1....hmnnn....i think i will need more experiementation with this and it will reveal itself to me.  Figured out how to use  fabric paint pens and have been coloring my zippers and filling in white when i find it on a shirt.  Lol...late at night you can find me coloring in my shirts in my closet-not a very romantic evening but full of creativity! So the ball continues to roll always in my court....and you all....what have you been discovering with your type and its look?????????  cu here on blog!  :D   

Consignment stores = Heaven

Here's a new blog entry about my newfound delight in shopping for clothes!

Most women, so I've heard, tend to have a hard time in the stores. It's hard to come up against a fit being wrong, a color being "well, kinda....", and on and on. We judge ourselves so harshly, and usually against another woman's perfect body or coloring or fitness, and sometimes against "what's in style" according to some designers somewhere. (I never really did that much, though. I was always about 2 years behind!)

Now with knowing my Type 4 line, textures, movement, fit, etc., it makes shopping SO much easier. I feel so much more focused, so much more aligned with what would look good on me.

Today I went to one of my favorite consignment shops here to drop off two stuffed bags of things that weren't for me anymore. I spent two hours in this very large store and covered every inch of the clothing section! Even shoes. And tried on about 8 items too. 

It helped that I was dressed according to type today: white blouse with a silver sparkle sweater, and a small black scarf tied like an ascot (kinda), black jeans, black boots, and black leather jacket (a real find at Salvation Army last year for $20!). 

I walked out with:

1. a perfect colorblock top (top color: a vibrant royal purple, bottom: black) and 
2. a lovely deep blue cardigan with no buttons and vertical lines in the knit (very 2-like at the bottom, with its flow-y hemline, so that works for my secondary 2) and
3. a pair of black oval dangle earrings, and
4. a black necklace that looks like an old-time cameo (but isn't...it just sparkles black...but you get the idea of the shape)

Here's a photo, but the lighting isn't very good....sorry, it looks very "ruddy" here, but I'm much more pale than that in real life!

 

Total cost: $16. But wait....having dropped off some things before this visit, I actually had the exact amount of credit I needed to walk out without paying a thing. (I highly recommend this experience--it is heavenly!!!!!) 

What a transformation in my shopping experience. I can't wait to see how much credit I'll have the next time I go...and who knows what treasures will await me then!
