How to Dress Your Truth®

I wasted way too much money buying clothes that just didn't fit my style! I have now decided to embrace my bold style. I want you to learn how to dress your truth, too!

For the first post in this series on Dressing Your Truth, see How to Find Your Style.

I squandered a lot of our family’s clothing budget on myself. Money down the toilet. Why? Because I would buy things, thinking they were cute or acceptable, and then end up not liking them at all. Whether it was the color or the style, they just didn’t work for me.

I’ve spent so much of my life just trying to cover up my body with big, flowy clothing. I didn’t want people to see my rolling rear end and I always tried to hide the fact that my hips are “good birthing hips.”

Don’t you want to feel like you look pretty? That you’re a good representative of your family?

I do. I wanted it so badly.

That’s why I first taught myself how to apply makeup. It made a world of difference in how I felt and therefore it made a difference in how others saw me. Because after all, makeup isn’t the Devil.

Then, I found out about Dressing Your Truth® (DYT) and I finally understood myself when it comes to dress and my personality.

Finally coming to grips with my personality and how it’s okay to be the way that I am, I also discovered that I can dress to match my personality to make myself shine.

There’s nothing like feeling wonderful in the clothes you wear, whether it’s business casual or t-shirts and jeans.

I’m a type 4, BOLD and firm personality. I know most of you are thinking, “Well, yeah. We knew that.” But, I tried to hide it. And I also didn’t know I should be dressing to match my personality.

Now, I don’t feel like I’m squandering budget money. I know what to buy and how to choose affordable homecoming dress stores online. I know what makes me feel good and look pretty. I know what makes me feel like I’m dressing my truth. I’m bold. That’s okay!

What are you?

Have you taken the FREE ecourse to find out your type?

Man – that’s a lot. Yes. I agree. But I also know that sometimes it’s okay to invest money in ourselves. Especially if it will save us money in the long run.

Of course, no matter the cost, if it’s not in the budget, it’s not in the budget. But, it’s still fun to take the free ecourse and learn your type.

Here are my before and after photos. No more gray for me! I am going to shine and embrace my bold personality…pinks and reds and blues!

This course is NOT for you if:

  • You’ve already taken it
  • There isn’t wiggle room in your budget
  • You’re a fashionista and perfectly happy with your current state
  • You don’t have a computer, phone, or any other internet device
Disclosure: I received the DYT ecourse in exchange for this review. But, if I didn’t like it, I would say so. Remember, I’m a bold personality. 😉

    I’m still appreciating this post! I took the course over the weekend (after emailing you – thanks for the feedback!). I took the free version last spring and was convinced I was a weird 2/3/4 hybrid but could not possibly be a 1 because 1) I work at a very serious job (/sarcasm but actually there are a lot of serious people here), 2) 1s seemed like the flighty & annoying type and 3) no one who wore those fun colors could possibly be taken seriously. After watching an old home video recently, I saw a lot of my type-1 5 yr old daughter in 5-yr-old me on the video. That sparked me to go back to the course and lo and behold…. I’m a type 1, probably secondary 4 because I need structure too. Now I understand why I have felt so blah in recent years. I thought my job should dictate who I was, but really I should be dictating how I approach my job and family life using my natural talents and characteristics. How freeing!!! (<-Apparently type 1s use a lot of exclamation points so there ya go).

    I’m really interested in purchasing this course. I did the free online course and it was very interesting and kind of fun too! I’m just a little nervous about it being new age. I did a brief search online about her and those types of connections and I didn’t like what was coming up 🙁 As someone who is a Christian and has gone through the course, do you see any ties between her course and new age? If it’s questionable, I’d rather not purchase it- but I really want to learn how to dress better!!

      Some parts of it are what I would call “kooky.” However, it didn’t bother me as a Christian. It’s kinda like the Life Changing Magic book that I love. It’s not a Christian book, but as a Christian, I am able to read it and gather the good information and throw out the bones. Chew up the meat…spit out the bones. 🙂

    I have signed up for the free ecourse, but when I go to the links, it just wants to set up a new account, not allowing me to sign in an existing account? Sheesh, I feel like such an old fart that I can’t even figure out something so simple…

    I’m really looking forward to it–I absolutely agree that your after pics are more “you!”

    I have taken the free course and read the book, but still am struggling between 3 and 4 constantly. I keep rereading things and just can not make a final decision. I have always wanted to purchase the whole course in order to get the help in figuring it out and the support, but that is just not in the budget and will not be for a long time. So, I would love to win the course and finally be at rest. I have very few clothes and very few means of updating my wardrobe and I do not want to waste any money on the wrong clothing. Looking forward to the giveaway.

    I discovered DYT back in September when I read about it at MSM. I was torn between type 4 and type 2. I had been predominately dressing as a t4 prior to DYT, so It has been hard for me to give up my black and white! However, I am fairly certain I am a type 2 and you have encouraged me to embrace it a little more now. I was still struggling for some reason to embrace it fully. I need to be thankful for who I am and know that it is ok to be me! Thanks for these posts! Oh…on a side note, I would love to follow you on Instagram but every time I try to follow you, it immediately unfollows you! I’m not really sure how to fix it!

    Back in the 80’s (I know this is before your time) there was a book written called, “Color Me Beautiful” by Carol Jackson. It was based on skin tone, hair and eye color. Knowing this you would then fall into four categories, spring, summer, fall or winter. The category you fell into decided your color palette. This book saved me from so many poor choices when purchasing clothing! If it is not in my color palette I am not going to like it when I get home. Also the book discussed style. It makes my shopping days so easy and as I purchase for my children. I know what colors will look best on them to make their eyes pop and their smile show.

      Oh, I read that, too! I liked the color palettes it provided.
      (There really isn’t anything new under the sun 😉 just new labels for it.)

    You look ah-mazing!
    I’m also a Type 4, but for a while, I thought I was a Type 1 (I wanted to be fun/cute/bubbly).
    I’ve settled on Type 4/Secondary 1 and love it (we can still be fun and lively). DYT is amazing and has allowed me to not only learn more about myself, but also helped me to understand others a little better (such as my T3 hubby). It makes things go much more smoothly when you understand each type and how you need to approach them/frame things for them.

    I’ve been inspired to continue exploring typing/colors/fashion and have been reading about how to dress for my “problem areas”. Last week I had a consult with a fashion blogger and discovered what my signature color is (purple).

    I feel like an expert when I walk into the stores now; I know how to choose the best colors, design and style for myself. Next up: using all of this knowledge to put together a capsule wardrobe for each season!

    Yes!!!! You Look fabulous! One of the things I love about growing up (and getting older) is I am more and more comfortable in my skin. I don’t worry (as much) about what other people think of my choices, which used to leave me drab and patternless. If I feel fabulous in it, I go for it. Such a big change for me. And you look amazing in zebra and hot pink. Who knew?!!!

    The new colors & style look great on you! It’s not that you looked “bad” before but it wasn’t “you.” You truly look brighter & happier when you dress your personality. You look like how you come across on paper now – sharp, funny, lighthearted. Love it!

    I’ve been following the free DYT recommendations for a year before I finally took the course. I LOVE it…it has answered so many questions for me and it makes sense. I am a Type 1 with a strong secondary Type 3…and now I am not afraid to dress accordingly. I would highly recommend this course to anyone.
