I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

I thought I would try to incorporate some of my new knowledge on my beauty type in my oufit today. I was pleased to find out that I’m actually supposed to wear a lot of wonderful colour and although I will not follow all the ‘rules’ to the letter (as discussed in dressing your truth course results and review) I am going to try adding even more colour to my wardrobe. This outfit too does not follow all of the guidelines but I still think that this outfit has some of the type 3 vibe. My orange, camel and brown outfit would be a good example too.

Here you can see my colour card. Although you are not limited to just these colours, the colours need to ‘blend in’ with your outfit. As you can see both black and white as well as high contrast are not on the card, so my bag should not have been added to the outfit. However, as I mentioned earlier, I also have a lot of type 4 qualities and I’m still going to keep some high contrast colours and paralel stripes with my outfits. Some of the type 3 characteristics that are in this outfit are:

  • A reasonably chunky necklace (could still be bigger)
  • Texture
  • Colour
  • A textured belt
  • Texture in hair (although that could be better too)
  • Golden coloured jewelry.

I had fun with the program and learning about my beauty type. You can still take the free assessment or enter my giveaway for a free course and shopping at the Dressing your truth store. It would be fun learning about your beauty types!
