December 15, Trying on T4

This dress has appeared many times on this blog. It is one of my favorite outfits, and seems extremely Type 4 with a 1 secondary. It has the black, white, red, and is a structured and fitted line, however, the pattern is extremely random.

Today I styled my hair like I've seen the Type 4 experts wear, a style I frequented when I was growing my hair out.

Type 4 overthinks, so I've been going back and forth with "Am I truly T4? I don't want to be wrong, again." So I asked a colleague. After briefly explaining Dressing Your Truth, I asked her, "Do you see me as a Marilyn? Or an an Audrey." She quickly respond, "Oh you're an Audrey for sure!"

I feel that I LOOK like the T4 expert, Kalista. She also expresses 4/1 energy.

This is Kalista. She has darker hair than I do, but I saw similar features between us.

When explaining the differences between Type 1 and Type 4 to my colleague, I remarked that I don't like bows and ribbons and "floof." She said it's because I haven't tried them to which I quickly responded, "I would just feel silly." I think this confirms it.

Oh, and my Timehop app had the following comment yesterday, from three or four years ago, "I cannot believe a big company like Facebook would use 'their' rather than the grammatically correct his or her."

Yeah, so T4.

But then I come back to this...
WHAT THE HECK SHAPES ARE VISIBLE IN MY FACE????

Pretty much obsessing over being #type1 or #type4 #dressingyourtruth #dyt #dressingyourtruthtype1 #dressingyourtruthtype4

I considered wearing a button down blouse under this dress (is this a shift? I'm pretty sure it is), but didn't feel like playing around today, so just threw on the cardigan. I considered a gray cardigan with gray leggings, a gray cardigan with burgundy leggings, but since I was considering open top shoes, I ultimately went with my burgundy tights.

I need to get some more tights.

I also was not sure how to go with shoes... I really need to invest in a full length mirror.

So, what was ultimately the winner? The booties.

10/13

This was a long weekend. I attended a conference on Saturday and while I planned my whole outfit, I have no idea what I wore. Otherwise, I spent the weekend in sweats/yoga pants.

I love this dress, from Stitch Fix. It was way more money than I'd have spent otherwise, but I love it and have worn it a bunch. I'm really unsure how to transition it to fall, though.

Today I went with heather gray leggings. It doesn't look right. I hate pantyhose, so while that might be an obvious choice, it just isn't going to happen. Advice very much appreciated.

Another day, another dress. This was a new purchase from Ann Taylor outlet.

Also wearing my lovely JustFab shoes. Check them out and get your first pair for super cheap with VIP membership! (Your first pair of shoes is UNDER $20!!)

Dress shopping

Today I hit a very small number of stores for some browsing. I loved how the floral dress fit, but at almost $100, it is so far out of my price range. I love the florals, the fit, and the length!

I'm also not sure about the blue swirl dress. I don't know if this style works for me, since I prefer dresses that have more waist definition. Does this one look good; this was on clearance and a price I'd be willing to spend.

Both dresses were at Black House White Market, which gave me these pretty heels which made my legs look amazing!

A favorite oldie but goodie. I couldn't find my ankle length black leggings, so went with capris.

A new dress! It reminds me of spring!

I'm trying a new hem length; I have no idea if I like it or not.

9/8

It's remarkable how different this dress looks by camera, so I've added another photo of the cheery print. I liked this dress when I found it on the sale rack at Ann Taylor Factory a few weeks ago, and loved it when I checked out and the price was even lower.

In the mirror, it's very flattering on, hiding my tummy and showing my best assets. As always, I didn't know which shoes to wear, and wish I did not donate a pair of comfortable but nice brown sandals a few years ago. I chose my purple flats; I bought a pair of gladiator sandals this summer but fear they will hurt for work. I'm sure I'll do it eventually though.
