Dressing Your Truth

Today is the last day to sign up for the Dressing Your Truth special promotion to get full access to the Dressing Your Truth course to try it out for 5 days for only $1.00

So far I've watched the Energy Profiling Class and am just starting into the actual Dressing Your Truth class, but what I've learned and gleaned already is already well worth more than $1.

The Energy Profiling stuff does have some hints of philosophy I don't personally agree with, but overall I'm highly impressed with the materials. It's not completely unique in that people have divided up personality traits and connected them with different elements, shapes, colors, parts of nature, etc. for generations.

But Carol Tuttle presents it in a unique and highly accessible way, that pulls parts of different ideas together with her own twist to make a rather unusual approach to understanding both the physical and personality traits that are inherent to you, and working with rather than against them in the way you live and even the way you dress.

She really encourages you to enjoy and appreciate who you are, and that what you might view as your weaknesses may actually be your strengths when used appropriately. She also teaches women how to dress and wear colors, lines and textures that convey and support their personality and natural beauty rather than fighting against it.

The 4 types are Type 1, the bright animated person; Type 2, the soft subtle person; Type 3, the rich, dynamic person; and Type 4, the bold, striking person.

I'm a Type 3, but for most of my life I've dressed (and often tried to act) like a Type 2 or Type 4, which gives people a mistaken impression of who I am and doesn't always predispose them to respond as well when my true personality unexpectedly pops out. When I dress like a soft, subtle woman, people often get surprised, taken aback and maybe even a little unsettled when they suddenly get jolted by the fact that I'm actually quite a fiery, active, high-energy, intense person.

I'm also already finding that learning more about my kids' personalities is helping me parent better and helping the kids understand and get along with each other. There are also some great free videos on marriage relationships between the different types on Carol's Blog (they can also be found on YouTube). DH and I laughed all the way through the two videos on Type 2/Type 3 combos since they described us so well (he's a Type 2).

There are also some videos with great tips on parenting and motivating children of different types, also available free online.

Carol also has a couple of books out on the energy profiling and personality components of her ideas.

But the actual information about colors, lines, textures, and even hair and makeup techniques that flatter and complement each type is only available in the Dressing Your Truth course. This is really valuable information especially for someone like me who is style-challenged. :)

There is also extensive information (available only through the course) on learning facial profiling and being able to tell what Types others are likely to be by their features, body language, habits, and even things like how they doodle. If you take the course, the videos with further resources on learning facial profiling in the extra resources section give a lot more in-depth information than the basic course video. There are lots of extra resources available, including access to previous club nights talking about things like how to bring your secondary type into the way you dress, also.

I'm really excited about this special offer, because I think it's well worth more than the $1.

Full Disclosure: This is a sponsored post in the sense that if you click through the links in this post, http://purplekangaroo.dressingyourtruth.com/coursetrial#main_navigation

I do get a kickback from whatever you buy now or in the future . . . they do that as a thank-you and incentive for anyone who has bought something who wants to share with others about their products. It is not a multi-level-marketing type of thing or something they heavily promote, but I thought in the interest of full disclosure I should mention that I do receive some benefit if you purchase through these links. You can also bypass that by going directly to the Dress Your Truth website without using my links if you prefer.
