Saying Goodbye to this Blog...

How weird, huh, to intentionally abandon a blog? Why would I do that?

Well, I will explain, but first, let me say that I intend to leave it up, in case there is information here that might be helpful to anyone. I have learned a lot from abandoned blogs! So it will still be here, but this will be my last post.

Why? Well, although I still love dressing my truth and will keep right on doing it as a type 3, I found out recently that the company, Dressing Your Truth, is ending their share program. What that means for me is that I can no longer earn commissions from the sale of dressing your truth courses.

That is sad news for me, because I was hoping to make this my main gig! I really believe in wearing who you are on the inside on the outside. And I had BIG plans to make a living helping women find out about this program. Now that that is no longer a possibility, I am going to move on to that other thing I’ve been doing…

If you want to stay in touch or just come and say hello, come visit me over at my other blog at http://www.seasonalcoloranalysis.net where I will still be talking about creating a capsule wardrobe, and finding signature style. And sharing outfit posts with Real Momma, Real Style and The Pleated Poppy. And setting goals and reporting on my progress (or lack thereof) for the 3 in 30 challenge.

I have loved this past year and all of you who have been reading along!

Blessings as we all keep dressing our truth!!

"I thought I didn't feel good in my clothes because I was not my ideal weight. I am still not my ideal weight, but since learning how to dress my truth I feel like I look good. I haven’t felt that way for years. And all thanks to this remarkable new way of seeing myself." –Michelle, posting on Carol Tuttle’s Facebook wall.

A Month of Outfits: Find Your Best Neckline for Fall

7:30 AM |

Fall Capsule Wardrobe: How to Find Your Best Neckline...

What I like about this video is all the different neckline examples she discusses and she explains how to determine whether they will work for you or not.

Fall Capsule Wardrobe: Neckline Examples...

Fall Capsule Wardrobe: Which Neckline is Right? by jjeanine featuring long sleeve tops

Fall Capsule Wardrobe: Which Neckline Will Work Best for You?...

For me, I think it would be the V neckline and the sweetheart neckline. And that video completely explains why it doesn't work if the necklines are too close to my face. BUT one way to fix that is to put the right neckline on top of it, in a jacket or cardigan.

Mary Poppins & Happy Halloween!

7:00 AM |

Posted by Mystic Comfort |

Edit Post

Though she is hard to budge from her own church, yesterday, my mom came with us to our church service. That's because my son was performing!

Each October, our church dedicates all the services to God on Broadway. Several Broadway shows are chosen, one for each Sunday. The choir and others dress up in costumes related to each show, they sing at least a few songs from the show and the sermon is related to its message.

This week was our final week and the show was Mary Poppins!

The children have been rehearsing every Sunday since September and my son was so excited to be a part of it. Every year, there is at least one show that the children get to participate in and it's always so much fun for them.

This time, my mom wanted to come to see him...

Fall Capsule Wardrobe on Broadway (well, not quite)...

Though it looks black, my mom's top is actually a dark chocolate brown. And she looked great in it!

Fall Capsule Wardrobe in Cold Weather...

I wore yellow, like my son, and since it was one of our first cold mornings this fall, threw on my favorite wrap...

Happy Halloween! :)

3 in 30: The Month in Review

7:30 AM |

Posted by Mystic Comfort |

Edit Post

(1) Re-evaluate My Fall Capsule Wardrobe... Now that I have completed the Twenty Twenty September challenge, I feel like I am in a better place to identify what I have that works, what needs to be replaced, what I still need now and what I will need as it gets colder.

I have done well with that this month, and I think I have a pretty good fall capsule wardrobe!!

(2) Create a Dressing Your Truth Type 3 Bedroom... I have spent a month or more working on creating a type 3 wardrobe, but have decided that I would like to support myself with those colors and textures in my bedroom as well.

Still need to order the pillowcases, but I did buy a dressing your truth type 3 nightgown, so in that way, I am sleeping my truth! :)

(3) Create a Structured Homeschooling Plan for October & a Broad Plan for the Rest of the Year... The plan I had, which was to do lesson plans for the whole year, doesn't seem to be working. And I think it is going better to adjust as I go along. But I would like to plan ahead just a smidge.

I appear to have lost my homeschool scheduling mojo! I may carry this goal over to next month. But one positive thing that has come of planning one month at a time is that I can adjust as I go, which I have never done before. So I guess it's okay, all told!

How did you do this month?

A Month of Outfits for Your Fall Capsule Wardrobe: Fall's Best Trends

7:30 AM |

Posted by Mystic Comfort |

Edit Post

Casual Capsule Wardrobe for Fall...

In creating your fall capsule wardrobe, the most important recommendation I can give you is to identify your dressing your truth type! Doing so has made a world of difference in the way I feel about getting dressed each day.

Our "Month of Outfits" Extravaganza for Your Fall Wardrobe Capsule...

But in the past few weeks, I have been sharing some tips for building a great capsule wardrobe once you do know what looks best on you. We started with clearing out the closet of anything you don't love and identifying what you already have that can form the foundation for your new fall capsule.

In last week's post, we talked about what a casual capsule wardrobe might look like for you and what a work capsule might include.

Once you know your dressing your truth type, have identified the colors you want to work with and chosen the number of items in each category your wishes and budget will allow, you can begin to build your fall capsule wardrobe.

Casual Fall Capsule Wardrobe: An Example...

Do you notice that the colors and pieces all mix and match? How many outfits could you create with that capsule? What would you add, if anything? I would add a couple more tops, I think.

How are you doing with your own fall capsule?

Fall Capsule Wardrobe: Tuesday

I wore this the other day while running errands. I did consider wearing a scarf or necklace (it's starting to get cold enough here to do that) but this day was pretty warm.

What are you starting to wear more of now that it's getting colder?

Monday with Mom: Three Generations of Style

10:39 AM |

Posted by Mystic Comfort |

Edit Post

Last week, on Monday, my son and I brought my mother breakfast and then, hung out with her for a couple of hours.

Most of the time we don't get our homeschooling started until late morning or early afternoon anyway, so this wasn't too big a change in our routine. But on Mondays, he has a ballroom dancing class, so we had to squeeze in the rest after we got back.

She seemed so happy to have us there! It's fun to treat her every now and again (like bringing her a big McD's sweet tea, which she loves)

Part of my reason for going was to bring her a lot of the clothes I am no longer wearing now that I know I am a dressing your truth type 3. Though she is as well, her coloring has softened over the years and I knew these colors would work better for her. She's much smaller, though, so her next-door neighbor will alter them for her.

My son adores her, so they had a great time hanging out. I had a good time talking with my mom, too, but they act like they are long-lost friends when they see each other...

As we were leaving, we all took pictures around what I think of as Mom's tree. That's because she is known for climbing it whenever she gets the impulse to do so...

I am linking up today with Nina from Momma Go Round for Real Momma, Real Style and on Wednesday, I will link up with Lindsey at The Pleated Poppy for What I Wore Wednesday.
