Dressing Your Truth update and a 15 minute declutter in Flylady Zone 4!

[@sandradee11482]

I love that you said the part about "if you want to keep it, keep it! Wear what you want." I've observed a number of DYTers beat themselves up because they didn't want to part with something they adored or had sentimental meaning--whether a piece of genuine gold jewelry when they are now "supposed" to wear silver, or a handbag with the "wrong" color leather. I have chosen to use my Type 4 DYT as my guideline, not my set of absolute rules. And I still wear the beautiful gold necklace my husband gave me before we were married!

[@edennis8578]

I'm a t4 with neutral-warm coloring, so I'm going to wear gold. I wear both silver and gold; it depends a lot on my outfit and what's available. Yellow gold isn't very fashionable now in the US, with rose gold being the trend, but I wear whatever strikes my fancy.

[@DianeinDenmark]

I think that's what makes us so individual...that we add in our own quirkiness to the mix but that we are free to follow our true natures! 😍

[@vintagegirl68]

Diane, this video makes me happy. You are such a joy to watch.

[@sherrygraham8650]

Diane, when I wear something and it can be worn again I hang it up to air inside out. Helps me remember that it’s been worn once and should go in laundry next time. I love your jewelry organization and will try to make something similar to it. I am amazed that I learn something from you everyday.

[@DianeinDenmark]

Great idea, Sherry!

[@katw.9338]

What a great idea!! Thx

[@becca7776]

I have been practicing dressing your truth for a couple of years. I'm a type one. When I do all things type one with my appearance I get major compliments. All my clothes are type one, I noticed I have to do it all to make it work. I can't just wear type one clothes with no make up or accessories. When I do it all my close friends tell me I'm like a Different person full of energy and confidence. I have learned so much and about others with dressing my truth. I'm so thankful for Carol Tuttle and dressing your truth. You are also an inspiration. I love watching your videos!!

[@DianeinDenmark]

Thank you, Becca! Yes, I am loving DYT, everything makes so much sense now 😍

[@0708unruhdi]

Your wallpaper behind you in this video is so pretty~ I so enjoy your videos! It's so fun to see your enthusiasm for life. Blessings!

[@cv7357]

Since I have Fridays off, "little Friday" is perfect for my Thursdays.

[@DianeinDenmark]

Happy Little Friday, hope it's a good one! 👋😀

[@sallycroft2191]

Great to see a 10 minute declutter, definately makes a difference. Also, would love to see picture of your grandmother. You speak so highly of her. I hope to have a loving influence on my grandchildren.

[@user-on7zd8yi8g]

I just discovered that I am a type 2 and ever since shopping has been so easy and fun! It’s so nice to know that I won’t be wasting money on things I’ll never wear again. I had heard of Carol Tuttle before, but your videos convinced me to give it a try. Thank you, Diane!

[@neeoco]

loving these videos and today instead of lying on my bed watching you declutter, I decluttered my bedside table, which I'd been putting off for MONTHS!! Delighted I achieved this as today has been a downer, but I can feel proud I've made a small positive difference to my house. Have my very simple control journal up and running since you mentioned them the other day. I'm still not sure how to use it but I'm sure it will become second nature in time. just finishing my evening routine with a lovely leave-on face mask. Hygge be with you! Niamh in Dublin 😄👍

[@cv7357]

So funny, we are definitely on the same page this week! Just this Tuesday, I went to the charity shop and got a lot of my type (2) clothing, and yesterday I organized my wardrobe by color! Looking forward to your videos this fall/winter; you are a ray of sunshine on the cold, dark days:)

[@DianeinDenmark]

Thanks, Charlotte - kind of funny but even from your comments I can 'hear' that you are a Type 2! 😃

[@cv7357]

Oh wow, you are a DYT Jedi :-)

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I finally bought uniform hangers and it made a big difference in my wardrobe. It makes the clothes, rather than the hangers, pop out. (I chose black hangers). I use the old ones for clothes gifts or donations, it’s nice to get things cleaned, pressed and on hangers. You could use them for your swaps.

[@laurasmith7421]

A bit of a down day here....and thanks to you, 15 minutes at a time has got 1) decluttering x2, 2 loads of laundry and energy to do a little "in the zone". 😊 working it.

[@jeannebowes2898]

I did a digital declutter. Took less than 15 minutes! Pretty day here, just a bit of bulb planting. Alan drills with an auger attachment on his drill and I put in the bone meal and bulb sitting on the ground. I am staying current in the chores by learning to adapt and feel rather pleased with myself that I have kept going with my minor set back.

[@cherylthomae-barnes7852]

Your comments about time management reminded me of a book I just finished (The Light Within Me) the Author's father always told her, "If you stay up with the owls, you won't be able to soar with the eagles." 🤓 I love, love, love, love your grocery store necklace. I hope that will be one of those things that will make its rounds and come back to you someday. Loving all the different ways you are wearing your hair. 🌻

[@neeoco]

ps I'm sure none of us would begrudge you enabling ads or adding affiliate links for some compensation for this fab mentoring you offer for free. I searched online for that cool kitchen sink caddy with no luck, and would have loved an affiliate link! Just a thought x

[@DianeinDenmark]

You can always ask me, Niamh! The sink caddy is "Rig-Tig Sink Caddy by Stelton". If you google it, it will pop right up. I now many people have found it on Amazon or in their local design shop.

[@janetrugenius9345]

You are very good at describing these things clearly and very inspiring!

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

After losing 35 lbs., many of my clothes were just too big and long. So, I put them through a medium tumble-dry cycle after washing, even if the label said not to. No disasters, and even with silk, they fit so much better now.

[@Mayfrancisxavier]

Morning Diane. I’m a T1 as well and can’t wait to see what colours you wear for Winter.

[@marydrummond5451]

You look so pretty Fly Lady Diane of Denmark .. I watch you your so great . Thanks for making my day . And keep me on tract .
My name is Meme ( Mary Drummond ) from Youngstown , Ohio USA . God Bless you sweet lady . 💜🧚🏼‍♂️

[@laineygann7713]

Well, interesting. I'm Meme to my ten grandchildren.

[@bonnie8522]

I’m originally from Youngstown, Ohio! Now in Miamisburg, Ohio. Also a Diane fan!

[@danellemh8486]

I just wanted to say thank you for introducing us to DYT! I discovered I am a T3. I have received so many compliments since and it makes shopping so much simpler.

[@DianeinDenmark]

Yay, glad you have found it useful and fun!

[@Julie-ok5fr]

Yes, I remember those necklaces from the early '90's. I liked the look of them but they felt scratchy/ itchy against my skin so I did not hold onto mine.
I am thinking that I might order the DYT2 color cards. I feel they might encourage me to get out there and find some clothing. I get intimidated about clothing and analyze it to death. I have a meager closet now, but at least the items left are those that suit me. Thank you for the "fashion encouragement." Whew, I sure appreciate it. Am still sending weekly declutter list to sister and mom. So much at peace now..addicted to decluttering and loving it ((Smiles))

[@anniehaynes6564]

Your videos just make me happy! Thanks again.

[@luciegallagher2710]

Yay!!!! Love a decluttering video- you did really well there Diane! Wished I lived closer I’d have the Asda necklace! 😂 xxx

[@dellahayden4705]

Such great ideas as always!!! I love the timer decluttering...it is sometimes hard for me to get rid of somethings especially during the season that I am in ,so I do a lot of the letting go if the outfits when the season is about to end...unless I don't want them before...thanks again and have a fantastic day!! 👍💖😊

[@lvlc5]

U r an expert in fly lady and now in dressing your truth! 😍

[@lynnbigner570]

Hi Diane. I am off topic but would love to see how you organize your office. I am drowning in "important" paper clutter. Love the blush pink on you.

[@susananderson1071]

Diane discussed the Konmarie method. There is a lot of information including the audio book on you tube or netflix.
It may be a good method for your office. I am loving this method.
Basically you take all items out of your office except papers. You handle each item as you think does this item bring me joy. If it does and it has a place you can keep it.
Do paperwork and books separately.

[@Ristina81]

My grandma was the same way with costume jewelry. I used to love going through it when I was a child. I do like the sound of the Morning Gift. Sounds lovely. I’m a Flybaby right now so I’m learning a lot right now. I don’t have a lot of jewelry bc I have three kids under 8. I tend to break chains.

[@monamorgan8614]

Back in the 80’s the same thing your doing was called “color Me Beautiful” seems it’s been pirated and updated a wee bit.it had the first color charts and suggested tones of jewelry for certain “ seasons” this first book was authored by Carole Jackson

[@DianeinDenmark]

Hi Mona! Yes, I did CMB back in the 90s and I was a light spring. This system goes by energy types.

[@yoychuy]

Love your new hair do
enjoyed watching your videos

[@amybrizendine1863]

You got me interested in DYT. I have decided I am a Type 4. I have enjoyed watching the videos. It is fun to watch you get so excited about it and see your wardrobe. Great idea for storing jewelry. You are so fun!

[@dionneireland2947]

Loved this video Diane you inspire me loads and you make me laugh 💖xx

[@moegirl76]

I NEVER KNEW THAT! I didn’t know it didn’t have to be a daily declutter and always felt like I was failing when I didn’t, which was most of the time. What a load off!!!

[@DianeinDenmark]

Glad I could clear that up for you! I generally can always find one item to declutter every day...

[@moegirl76]

I love the tips you give. Any other gems you’ve given as a mentor? Could be a great video.

[@KathelleStrandom]

Love it! Your wardrobe looks very fun 😊 x x x

[@susananderson1071]

Thanks for another uplifting vlog Diane.

[@mygoldenyears6238]

You always look so beautiful, this top looks so beautiful on you💝

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I bleach new clothes all the time. “Whites” often have a yellowish/brownish tinge, more like ivory, that isn’t good on me. I only do it once or twice so I don’t wear them out. I usually try chlorine bleach first, then if they need more, Rit Color Remover. In my favorite brand, H&M, “white” items rarely are, nor do they match each other, even if it’s a “matching piece”.

[@HermioneGranger-vn9bh]

thank you for sharing, Diane.

[@claudiameier555]

You put a smile in my face Diane. Greetings from Switzerland and i love DYT :)

[@elizabethbenson1557]

I LOVE that "supermarket" necklace. I'll miss seeing it on you but all your new changes are so beautiful that I'm sure I'll recover :-)

[@denisetanner9110]

Oh Diane you are beautiful, but I do like the lightness of your new hair and makeup. I thought your other hairstyle was very bold and you pulled it off like a high fashion model : ) When I saw the very Mod "super market" necklace going I winced....I really liked it and admired it when you wore it. Someone will be happy to get that for sure at the next party. Thank you for being such a great "teacher" and role model. You are a natural at it. xox

[@becsearlyeducationandcare9516]

Loving your new hair style!

[@DianeinDenmark]

Thank you!

[@jennyfischer4699]

You are so motivating! You are triggering my exhausted type 1!
Thank you!

[@DianeinDenmark]

Yay, glad you are excited, Jenny! 👏🤩🎉

[@xhen12]

Love the shirt you’re wearing on this vid

[@laineygann7713]

Diane, I think you look great. When you said you are a T1, I was really surprised. Before you had mentioned you were an introvert and of course were wearing T4 clothes and hairstyle. I have heard it takes some people a long time to figure out which type they are. I read Carol's book and have shared it with others.

[@anaalegria1907]

Inspiring video today-- thank you!

[@tinkonthebrink]

Your hair looks awesome in this one. Although I still love the straight bob - kind of Amelie meets Vulcan thing. But super cute here.

[@superbettynow]

Really enjoyed watching you declutter your jewellery! (I'm also a Type 1 :-) )

[@cpearl8403]

Do please show us a photograph of your grandmother!

[@hollygoodson6025]

You brought dyt to me through one of your videos and it changed my life! I’m a 3/1 and now I understand people so much better, and are more accepting of them. I think ‘oh that’s such a type 4 thing’ for example, rather than why is that person so (insert difference here). I always knew me and my husband were like chalk and cheese and now I know it’s because he’s a 4/2 lol. Poor man, he needs a quiet peaceful life and I need action and fun. We have a type 1 and a type 3 son too 😂. I can’t say I get in with the clothes though but with regards to colours they are spot on. Anyway, thanks xx

[@DianeinDenmark]

That's brilliant, Holly! I love understanding my family better too!

[@acrobaticanna]

Loving your new look. I am going to spray my jewelry goldas I am a Type 1 too.

[@donnadecourcy7332]

I reviewed the Evening Routine video after watching this one, Diane. One of the photos of your outfits included the formerly dark green vest which you bleached to the pale pink. Interesting. Do you use bleach full strength or diluted? About how long do you let it sit? I suppose you do a test first, or do T1s just go for it?😉 thanks for your encouragement! Off to set my timer!

[@DianeinDenmark]

LOL! You know me too well, Donna! I just put it in a bucket with a LOT of bleach and left it for a couple of hours. A science experiment!

[@scaredofmice8658]

You always look great

You can get that sweater shortened by a talented friend or tailor. Sweaters are easy to do!

[@Yvonneb_]

I think I am a type 2 as I cant wear beaded jewelrey, although I can wear beaded bracelets but I feel really uncomfortable in the beaded necklaces. If I was working still I would buy the Dressing your truth pack, but I had to stop working and become a carer to my hubby as he had a severe stroke a few years ago.

[@jamesnbrenda8960]

When you say you bleached an article of clothing, what is the process? I am thinking that you literally put it in the wash and added bleach to the cycle as normal. Is it just that simple or is there a specific process you take? I am interested in doing a couple of clothing items. Thanks in advance for the process.

[@DianeinDenmark]

Hi Brenda! You can Google info on bleaching different fabrics but basically I put mine in a bucket of water with a LOT of bleach for a few hours. Definitely a science experiment and not something to try unless you really don't mind how the garment turns out 😃

[@marydrummond5451]

Your awesome .

[@michellegiblin6812]

Happy birthday to you best wishes

I am a type 3 for sure ! What a pity carol ‘s book is not translated in French

My mom (Irish) always used to tell me that an itchy nose means you are "going to pick a fight or kiss a fool".

[@leannebarber7082]

Fun video to watch besides being so useful! You are fun!!! Question: how do you bleach clothing?

[@DianeinDenmark]

You can Google different methods. I put my items in a bucket of water with a lot of bleach added and let them soak for several hours. Rinse and wash.

[@momstuff3489]

How do I learn about this dressing system?

[@DianeinDenmark]

There is a free Before and After course on dressingyourtruth.com

[@rosepetal9748]

Hello.. I'm curiuos about these types you talk about.. new to this. 😁 how do I find out what type we are.

[@DianeinDenmark]

If you go to dressingyourtruth.com they have a free course "Before and After". Enjoy!

[@ivonnej6312]

is there a different dyt card for each season, Diane?

[@DianeinDenmark]

For each Type there is a one colour card and one pattern card. The cards are a helper - you hold them against the item of clothing to see if it *harmonises* (you're not looking for an exact match a colour on the card). I'm a Type 1, so I look great in tints (colours which have been lightened with white, which look like they are sunny and bright).

[@elainewebster8807]

Diane, My family keeps making a mess after my evening routine of cleaning the kitchen...what to do?

[@DianeinDenmark]

Have you asked them about it? Explained that they need to clear up after they make a snack, etc? Dirty stuff goes in the dishwasher, Nutella jar goes back in the cupboard. You can also put a sign in the sink, saying Keep this area clear! LOL!

[@elainewebster8807]

Yes, and it works for a while, then it decompensates. A sign is a great idea and I will try this...

[@patdennis2586]

Maybe rotate who does the evening routine of cleaning the kitchen so they can experience having to do multiple kitchen clean ups after they thought they were done. Maybe a HUGE “KITCHEN IS CLOSED “ is in order. Good luck!

[@ruthlloyd1163]

It’s difficult with other adults, children or husband who stay up late. I just accepted that I unload the dishwasher in the morning and clean my sink while my coffee is brewing in the morning...just a stage of life I’m in - usually it’s not much to clean up.

[@elainewebster8807]

I agree. That is pretty much how i handle it. I have to admit that things are cleaner in the morning than they otherwise would have been if i did not do my nightly routine.

[@malaguenamalaga353]

Every second or third month.

[@brendac5170]

how do you clean your grandmother's "costume jewelry"?

[@DianeinDenmark]

My costume cleaning jewelry doesn't need cleaning (it doesn't tarnish like silver does). And I keep my jewelry well away from hairspray, perfume etc.

[@brendac5170]

Ok thanks

[@dloveofgod8269]

@@DianeinDenmarkI'm watching some on your prior videos as a fairly new subscriber & now a T1 and I was just going through some jewelry this morning. There are some silver pieces I want to keep as were gifts but I need jewelry cleaner. Some costume jewelry needs brushing or brightening up before I gift it. It seems have turned colors so am not sure can be revived. 🤔😍
