Kristelle: Happy St. Patrick's Day

Okay, I have never celebrated St. Patrick's Day by wearing green voluntarily, but today I did. (This is actually a photo I took last week or so, when I first got a True to Type 4 green T-shirt from the DYT store, but I wore it again today.)

I jazzed it up today with Myra's silver necklace (you locals remember that gorgeous silver cuff-like band she gave me) and silver earrings. I felt wonderful and powerful in it. It also, again, turned my eyes green, so that's an interesting phenomenon!

In her last message Jennifer mentioned the challenge in choosing colors that are true-to-type, and I mentioned in my comment that thing about matching the vibration versus matching the color. You'll have to imagine that green in the photo being more of a "dazzling" green than it shows up to be. It is not greyed out, (as in a 2) or a light white type (as in a 1) or the deep earthy green of a 3. (Siobhan had showed her type 1 green on Facebook, so if she doesn't post here, I'll post it myself to show you her type.)

Next up....I'll take a photo of the Bold Pink nail color I chose. Turns out it EXACTLY matches the True Pink T I got from the DYT store, not only in the color, but in the vibration! In fact my hands nails seem to disappear into the shirt, it's such a match!

I'll post that soon...in the meantime, I've sent several of you invitations to be guest authors yourselves in this blog, so feel free to post here to...just remember to put your name in the title of your post so that we know that it's not me posting!

2 months into DYT and expanding everyday by Jennifer D..(Type 3)

So it's been around 10 weeks now since 'dressing my truth' entered my arena.  I am realizing that this is going to be a long haul.  Every time that i think I have a handle on something, new issues arise.  My inner circle of friends have definitely noticed my change in appearance-for the good <grin>.  Presently, I am trying to get more type 3 blue into my wardrobe---there seems to be lots of confusion over blue as it can be cool or warm color...and for me, who is not a color theory expert, means really hard to distinguish.  The color card has been helpful although with the blues and greens (of which i find difficult too) i need more guidance.  I think that not seeing the clothes and colors with my own eyes at the store in Utah has been a handicap for me.  My computer monitor seems to be greying and darkening most colors that i view either on facebook or the videos that Carol puts out.  I learned that fresh the other day when my DYT 'Made for Me' type 3 dress arrived in the mail from the states---i was pleasantly suprised- it was waaay more lovely in person.  The lace was relief  popping up to give it a really textured look  and the colors soooo much more vibrant than i had imagined. It made me start to doubt my choice of color clothing i was making on my own.  It gave me a new dimension to my thinking and thus the title of this blog I used expanding. I am finding that swift movement prints are great on me and are trying to add those to wardrobe.  So, for the time being I expand into this new dimension.
Here is a picture of our lighter green (blouse) and red wine color maxi skirt/pant (assymetric cut- one leg pant, one leg skirt---really easy to walk in!)
