Reflections on 1 year of DYT

This week marks one year since I joined DYT. The photo on the left is from December 2, 2015, and was taken when I purchased the DYT Type 1 course. I returned to the same place (with the same horrible lighting, though I have a new cell phone that compensates for the lighting better). What a difference!

Also notable from my DYT journey was this week last year, I received a bunch of Black Friday shopping goodies that I thought would fit my Type 1 nature. Neither they nor I were Type 1!

 






















Funny enough, by December 14, I'd already decided Type 1 wasn't right for me!

January 6

Pretty type 1. Note that I have a mouth like The Joker?

December 31

I went Type 1 for New Year's Eve, even pulling my hair into a high ponytail. I wanted some sparkle, so I wore my gold sparkly scarf.

December 18

Not really sure that this is particularly T1 or T4, but I do like this top a lot.

December 10

After sharing yesterday's outfit on the Dressing Your Truth Type 1 board, I expressed frustration that maybe I'm not type 1 since few items in my closet are Type 1. Someone commented on this "winter white" sweater, so I chose that for today.

I also picked up this necklace on Black Friday. It's not something I'd usually have picked AT ALL, but I chose it for the circles. It jingles when I walk, something I've avoided for some time, but definitely a Type 1 feature in jewelry.

It's funny how tan these pants look in this lighting... almost nude even! But they're supposed to be a pinkish color.

Trying a different style of yesterday's top, both of which came in my Black Friday shopping, as did this super necklace.

I'm told the necklace is Type 1, the top is Type 2 because of the muted colors. I like the top better than I did in navy, but I still think it's not right for me.

I mentioned I joined Dressing Your Truth as a Type 1. This was probably the first time I tried to take the principles, but it just seemed off. The shape is correct, the randomness is correct, but I don't think the dark navy works well, and the burgundy pants are definitely not a Type 1, though they have become a staple in my wardrobe as I've tried to move beyond my "uniform" of black and khaki pants for work.

Beginning to wonder if my choice of Type 1 was incorrect.

Holiday party!
