In a previous article, I emphasized the importance of dressing to reflect your personality and shared my style statement, along with an exciting new assessment I found quite impressive. I encourage you to take my style quiz!
Today, let’s dive into beauty profiling and the Dressing Your Truth program.
Discovering Your Beauty Profile
I was contacted some time ago to review Carol Tuttle’s Dressing Your Truth Program. Being a fan of such assessments and always on the lookout for new ways to help pinpoint your style, I eagerly gave it a try.
I quickly gained access to the program, which starts by identifying your energy profile or beauty profile. While this might sound a bit whimsical, it’s actually a well-grounded process. Think of it as a tool to help you connect with your true self.
Unlike other assessments where you answer a few questions and get a straightforward result, this program involves a process of self-exploration. Carol guides you through a series of detailed videos, and by the end, you piece together the answer yourself. For many participants, the numerous clues and “aha moments” make it easier to identify their type. If you still find it challenging, the Dressing Your Truth team is available to offer guidance.
Why Is It Important to Find Your Type?
Understanding your profile type helps you comprehend how you move through the world and relate to others. While everyone has elements of all profile types, one is usually dominant. Dressing according to your profile type helps you feel more authentically yourself, boosting your confidence and sense of beauty. Knowing your type makes it easier to choose clothes that suit you, regardless of current fashion trends.
The 4 Profiles
The beauty profiling program categorizes women into four types:
1. The bright, animated woman, symbolized by air
2. The subtle, soft woman, symbolized by water
3. The rich, dynamic woman, symbolized by fire
4. The bold, striking woman, symbolized by earth
Your Beauty or Energy Profile is Determined By:
– Your gifts and talents
– Personality traits
– Thought and feeling processes
– Behavioral tendencies
– Body language
– Physical features
What I Thought of It
What I Liked
I enjoy personality assessments as they always provide a deeper understanding of myself. Although this assessment focused on how to dress and enhance my appearance, it also offered significant insights into who I am. Some recommendations made sense and were quite insightful.
What I Didn’t Like
The test tends to box you into a defined set of rules for styling yourself. It doesn’t provide much advice on how to wear certain items or improve your silhouette. Instead, it suggests general preferences like messier hair or specific colors and styles. I prefer having the freedom to choose any silhouettes, colors, or styles I like. Additionally, I felt it lacked detailed dressing guidelines that many women might find useful.
Conclusion
The initial test is enjoyable and provides insights into your personality. However, the system can feel restrictive, boxing you into one personality or style type, which isn’t ideal for everyone.
I have since developed my style course that embraces individuality rather than confining you to a specific type. My course, “21 Steps to a More Stylish You,” is perfect for women over 40 and covers personality, body type, silhouette, color, and more. It’s a journey of self-discovery, aiming to help you reclaim your style and develop your unique signature look.
