Okay, so I haven't posted anything about this because I've been told it is silly ... which initially made me think that the person who said that thinks that I am silly for being a part of this program. However, I've weighed that against how different I feel about myself and I've decided that this program has helped me have so much more confidence. And, I think that if it helps me, it might be beneficial for any of my other friends.
So .... let me tell you about my Dressing Your Truth experience.
For years I've struggled with confidence. Mainly, not feeling like I was presenting myself as well as I would have liked. There were times when I would say something bold and the people to whom I was talking would take offense or be so surprised they wouldn't now how to respond. Which left me thinking that I shouldn't have said what I did, and that I needed to change and be more soft spoken. I never realized that it was actually okay for me to express myself in bold statements; everyone else just needed to be a little more prepared to receive them.
Couple this with the fact that I've always felt like I didn't know how to buy the clothing that would look good on me, and accessorize, and wear makeup, etc. I always looked at my friends and thought that they looked so fantastic and well put together, like they'd thought about what they were going to wear before actually getting dressed. I always felt extremely frumpy. And, when I would go shopping for clothes I found myself asking what my friends would wear and then I'd look for something similar.
About a month ago I was talking to my friend about her jeans; telling her that they were so cute and asking her where she bought them. She proceeding to tell me where she got them, then she said that she dyed them and dirtied them up. I asked her about dying them and why she dirtied them. Her answer was that they weren't her type, so she had to fix them. Immediately I was confused and interested in equal parts.
My friend told me that around two years ago she found a program called Dressing Your Truth. It is an online course that teaches how to dress for your personality. She showed me the accompanying book, and explained that there are four beauty types. Everyone falls into one dominant beauty type, and most women have a secondary. Each type has different personality traits, physical movements, and physical features. For example, there are the Type 1's who have a slight bounce to their step, upward movements, and they are the idea makers who are concerned with having fun. And, when we dress according to our personality, movements and features, we are preparing others to receive us (as well as looking extremely good).
I was intrigued. My friend said that she is a Type 3. She walks with purpose, has angular body movements, more definition in her facial features, and has a "get up and do it" kind of personality.
When I got home, I looked online at the website and went through a free seven day course. By the end, I had figured out that I am a Type 4. I won't go into much detail about my type, but I will say that knowing this has made a world of difference for me.
For years I had Type 4 tendencies, but I always pushed them aside and led with my secondary type (which is a Type 3) because it was more comfortable and what I thought everyone expected of me. As I've learned more about my type, I know now that everything I've felt is typical for most Type 4's. And, I don't feel alone anymore.
I've started to dress in my type. It's been so strange to get so many compliments. I finally understand why what my friends would wear didn't look right on me ... my physical features and my energy just didn't match theirs. And that's okay!
Anyway, the reason I am sharing this is that I have more confidence now than I've ever known. And, I would love to give my friends/family a way to increase their confidence in themselves. Right now Dressing Your Truth is having a sale on the online course, and I would hate for any of you who *might* be interested to miss out on it. Just follow this link to learn more. And, yes, you may think I'm silly for buying into this program ... but, I'm okay with that now. I finally know how to dress my best and present my best self to others, and for that I am so grateful.

P.S. I was under the impression that the videos were part of a free trial program or something. I now understand that the videos are indeed free with no "trial" period and if you want to read her books to get more details, then that's where it may cost money (if the books aren't at the library).
