Dearly Departed

So after ordering the online course and watching it, I decided to dive into my closet and see just what I had already that might support my Type 1 nature.  Since my energy is an uplifting, light sort of movement all the black clothing had to go.

Why?

Because it's too dark and brings my energy down.

This was a big step for me.  I really love all my black.  In fact, I had five black skirts and over 15 different black shirts.  Yikes!  I wasn't sure I was going to have anything else to wear.  I can't believe how much of my wardrobe was black!  Now since this is all still in an experimental stage, I didn't completely get rid of them, but I corralled them all to the very back of the closet {they are firmly off~limits} and brought all the supporting colors forward to the front.

Then I attacked my jewelery and scarf collection.   Yes there are even guidelines for the jewelery.  Silver is supposedly not the right metal for my energy type.  ~sad dance~  I absolutely LOVE silver, especially near my face ~ I feel like it really brightens me up.  But in the spirit of the experiment I placed them away from the rest of my jewelery and let them mingle with all the exiled black.

So two old favorites are gone ~ the black and the silver. 

Let's give them a moment of silence...

Thank you.  

May they rest in peace.

But!  On the bright side, I have to say, looking at the "acceptable" items left in my wardrobe that are now all grouped together it is quite a fun, happy looking bunch!  Getting rid of the black really seemed to lighten up my closet!  So, we'll see how this experiment goes!  More later!  I haven't attacked the shoes yet.  I'm off to play around in the closet again!

By the way, I just realized there is a sale over at Dressing Your Truth for the introduction package to help you discover your own personal beauty profile.  It's not the full blown course like I just bought, but if you're interested in how her whole process works and is different from other fashion stylists, then right now is a great time to purchase it and see for yourself at an affordable price of $19.95.  But I think that special pricing ends tonight, so if you're interested then hurry!   

Then you can tell me what type you think you are too!
