I had pink eye for 2 days and wore only pjs.

 Forgive the "it's cold in my house and I can't find my slippers" white socks.

I bought this dress from the StitchFix BST board and it is just amazing. It's a perfect color, and it fits me like a dream. It has a tiny textured detailing all over it. It does feel a little short for me, and I have to be mindful of the back when I bend over, but otherwise it's just great!

I might not be type 1, but I can still be a goof.

I've been itching to buy some Lu La Roe, and finally found one that suggested my type. It's not something I'd ever have considered before this journey, but definitely one I loved as soon as I saw it.

I tend to shy away from patterns, but am trying to embrace it now.

It's a Friday in May. In teacher speak, that means that I'm exhausted and always running late. I didn't feel like putting on makeup...

Then I took this picture, and changed my mind...


Here's my bracelet for today.

Here's what I started the day wearing


But when I got to work, I changed into denim. I knew I would feel uncomfortable in the sandals, since I have unpainted toenails (old standards die hard). They were very comfortable while I wore them around the house, though!



Is the peach sweater a keeper? Or is it too bright for me?

 I started like this.


 Then switched my Up band for this red bracelet.

I started with the green pants and switched to the brown.

Well, today's outfit evolved....

I started with the plan of wearing my maxi dress, paired with pink cardigan.

Then I heard the rain and nixed the maxi.

Then I seriously questioned this sweater and started fresh...


And I haven't worn the jacket all day.

One of the big sellers of DYT for me was the idea that I would spend less on clothing. After all, my type thrives on practicality and are often on the "cheap" side of things. I need to find actual dollar value.

I used to walk into the thrift store and never find anything. I still find this with pants, having a sort of unusual size. But since discovering my correct type, I find great items so easily, like this Jennifer Lopez (from Kohls) top in perfect condition. It's very sheer, so I probably would not have picked it for work before, but I loved it and wanted to wear it and it passed the "is this ok for work" test with my generally more conservative about these things husband.

This may be the outfit that has received the most instagram comments of all my outfits ever.

The founder of DYT, Carol Tuttle, often speaks about "Beauty Sixth Sense," which is our sense of style pushing us in the direction of our type before we're even aware of what that type is.

This top may be one of the oldest items in my closet. I know for sure I have had it before I was pregnant with my 6 year old son, and maybe even before then. It fits well, doesn't seem dated (at least not to me) and is a perfect show of my type of beauty.

I never know what to wear with it as a necklace; I feel like it needs SOMETHING, but the beaded neckline makes that difficult. I went with something a little longer and daintier than normal.

March's Greatest Hits!

I apparently never posted this one!

April's Greatest Hits!

I've worn this tank before, and it's another find from the thrift store. Never would have considered it before, but it looks so great on me! I posted another picture on facebook with my son, and received a bunch of compliments about how pretty I look.

What a find at the thrift store. I love everything about this top, it's got a great color, it has these awesome flippy layer things, and it is a perfect weight. It looks great, and is from the thrift store. What could be better?
