Synergy

I love it when things just…work together. I saw this chart a looong time ago, but I was in denial about a lot of things related to my color and style, so I kind of disregarded what it was trying to tell me. Now, the chart itself isn’t perfect, ie: there’s no such thing as a pure DYT Type. We are all a mix of them. But still. I saw it, saw something I didn’t like, and decided the whole thing was bunk. However, the one thing I’ve rarely ever doubted is my MBTI type. 

I’m an INFJ. It also turns out that in seasonal color analysis that I’m a True Winter (I’m not sure why they distinguish between True and Cool Winter, because in the 12 season system those two terms are synonymous). I’ve also recently (two days ago!) realized that I am a Type 4/2 in Dressing Your Truth. 

Now that I’ve finally let go of some of those negative stereotypes, everything is just falling right into place!

I Can’t Even…

​Okay. I know I’ve said this before…but I had a major DYT epiphany today! I’ve been thinking about it all day long, and…

<p align="justify" I am a 4/2!

<p align="justify" I was sitting here pinning DYT Type 4 stuff when the realization just kind of…settled onto my heart. And my heart was like “Ah, what took you so long?” with the most gentle feeling of peace settling over me. I’m incredibly peaceful but at the same time very emotionally overwhelmed. Why, why, why was I so resistant to this?

I think it’s part of the reason I resisted Type 4 for so long. Pure Type 4 is too harsh and hard for me…because I need to soften it. I can’t stand to wear a blazer (even though I do look good in one that’s well fitted) but a comfy fitted cardigan gives a similar look, just softer. I struggled with my hair all the time: I can’t make it behave or make it perfect because of the subtle Type 2 waves in it. Nor can I keep my bangs straight across my forehead. They’re far more natural swept gently to the side and give a much more approachable look.

Also I have always been drawn to anything that’s super soft and comfy on my body. Give me plush fabrics, give me angora and cashmere. Give me a velved faced sherpa throw and a book beside the fire with a hot cup of herbal tea. Yesssss.

Oh my gosh, you guys. I can’t even explain how I feel right now. My heart’s been thrown wide open.
