I found the perfect type 2 earrings at work tonight. I bought two different ones. The first ones ate 2/1. They are just a tiny bit blingy.
The inner and outer rings in the second pair are a brushed silver. The inner ring was gold. I bought them anyway since they were teardrop shape.
Came home and used my silver nail polish over the gold ring. It turned out great. They look almost glittery, but I think it works well.
My friend Kathy and I went shopping today for some clothes for my new wardrobe. She showed me how to use the color card. The first stop we went to a consignment store here in town. That is where I had the most luck. I found a gray knit jumper, grey skirt, a purple dress jacket, a green blouse/jacket, white hoodie and a three piece skirt jacket and top. It all came to $78. The three piece skirt set would have been that in the store.
We went to TJ Max and I found a cute pair of sandals. I also lost my color card. I can't believe it. I also can't believe anyone would want it not knowing what it was. I'm sick about it. Thankfully I still have the billfold size one.
I decided if I was going to be in this I was going to do it all the way. I have never worn a lot of makeup. One of the main reasons is I wasn't comfortable putting it on. I was afraid I wasn't going to do it right and so it was easier not to wear it. I usually wear blush and eyebrow pencil. My eyebrow hair is very light and it often looks like I don't have any.
Went to Walmart after work tonight and bought the rest of the makeup I needed to start my transformation. Boy, this stuff is expensive! I spent $55 on foundation, mascara, eyebrow powder instead of pencil, eyeliner, lip liner, lip gloss and two eye shadows. Serves me right for not having the basics I guess.
So today I'm doing the typical type two behavior, doubting my decision that I'm a two. I have a really hard time with this part of my personality when I second guess myself. I'm 95% sure I'm a type two. It's the other five percent that is driving me crazy. I have two good friends that are also twos. I have been texting them off and on all day. They both agree that I am a two and that I am over thinking this. Kathy brought up a good point. She suggested that I am a two and that the other traits are my secondary. I hadn't thought of that!
I have always been drawn to the type one colors. I tend to bounce from one thing to the next. I get bored easily. Look at my craft room! The other secondary is the type three. I tend to be the over achiever in many things. Once I finally make my decision I want to get it done and move on.
I am really struggling with the colors. Back in the 80s I had my color type done and I was a Spring. I have always worn those colors. Not sure about the grey tone thing. I'm just going to trust it.
As I mentioned in my last post I signed up for the free beauty course at DYT (dressing your truth). I immediately wanted to become a club member, but right know in my life the price was out of range.
Today at work I got an email alert for DYT. I was so excited. They were having a sale that was basically 66% off. I couldn't believe it. I really felt like Heavenly Father knew how much I needed this in my life right now. I couldn't pass up the chance. I purchased the course right then. It was a 1 day only offer.
I didn't talk about what DYT is in my last post. It is not a color system, it is not a fashion system. It is energy profiling. It takes into account your personality, character traits, facial features and many other things. There are four energy types.
I am type 2. Soft and subtle. A lot of things make more sense now that I understand my personality type.
I have felt through the years I thought I wasn't bright enough. I felt mousy and like I often disappeared . A common feeling of type twos. Now I know that I was fighting against my nature. We often go to brighter colors than we should wear or put warm highlights in our hair. I'm guilty of both.
Carol Tuttle is the author of this system. Her supposition is that we are not taught to honor or energy and personalities by the fashion industry. Women are not one type. We are taught to chase fashion trends rather than what looks good on us. If it doesn't look good on us we believe that it is our fault, instead of the fact that it just isn't right for us. That resonated with me. If it sounds true to you I suggest that you check it out.
