Dressing Your Truth / Shopping

It’s the quickest way to make shopping simple:

Learn your Type of beauty and start Dressing Your Truth

Because women who Dress their Truth know exactly what would look great on them before they even take it off the rack.

Try these tips to simplify your shopping experience.

1. Shop in a way that’s comfortable for your Type.

Every Type of woman in my Beauty Profiling system expresses a different movement—even when she shops. Make it a great experience by honoring your movement.

2. Look for colors first.

When looking for clothes that are true to your Type, always scan the racks for color first. You’ll eliminate a lot of extra options this way and have more shopping success.

3. Love it or leave it.

You have to be able to say, “I love it!” or it’s not worth buying.

4. Listen to your body.

The more you Dress Your Truth, the more your body will “feel” what is right for you. Take time to try on what you are thinking of buying. If it doesn’t feel right, put it back.

5. Treat shopping like a treasure hunt.

I have fun shopping outside the conventional retail world because I like the challenge of finding great items at thrift and consignment stores. Online shopping is also a great way to find treasures.

6. Adapt the trend to fit YOU.

Only try on what is “in style” if it’s right for your Type. Remember: you will always look stylish if you are dressing your truth. We like to support you in knowing which trends will work for your Type.

7. Create an abundant, affluent mind-set.

Your beliefs create your reality. So create this reality with me: “I always find great pieces at great prices.” “I have the best luck finding things I love that fit me perfectly.”

Whatever you do, avoid this phrase while shopping!

8. Remember the husband rule!

Only take your husband, boyfriend, or whoever goes shopping with you if he or she supports you and has fun. Otherwise, leave him home!

9. Establish a budget.

Know what you can invest in before you go shopping so you feel confident and satisfied with the amount of money you spend.

10. Take advantage of online tools.

Here at Dressing Your Truth, we’re here for you! That’s why we’ve collected hundreds of images and 30+ hours of videos to helping you create a personal style you love.
