  1. I really enjoyed this segment, you did a great job, Kalista! Though I am no fan of prints, you made me at least consider putting one or two in my wardrobe. And yes, I have both that yellow (my favorite color) and green cardigan, I love them!

  2. Great video, I always want to know different looks I can try as a type 4.
    But…what is a really warm, cosy outfit for someone like me who feels the cold all the time and lives in huge, warm cardigans (not the thin little cotton ones)? How can you tempt me out of cardigans?

    1. My daughter suggested the thermal wear they do for skiing to me for when I’m gardening and it’s fab coz it’s not bulky, but cardigans will always rock in my world!

  3. Thank you so much for this video and videos like this….SO helpful!!!! And your new studio looks amazing!! Brava! Where did you get the silver casual shoes??

  4. Thank you! I always overthink. This video helped me to see wardrobe can be basic, simple and fun. It has given me some clear guidelines.

  5. Had just ordered from the DYT Store and received my orders today. I have everything except a navy skirt. Mine are different colors and tops, of course, but what a great feeling to know I have all I need to dress my truth. I also see to focus next purchases on more colors and patterns for variety. Great presentation, Kalista. (And a big thank you for the sale.)

  6. Thank you for making it simple and easy. I also enjoy the typed up list. Until now I hadn’t desired to “cull” my closet of non T4/items, but this puts things in perspective and I truly do want things to be minimal. Here is a pic of my closet, prior to the culling, and you can see I have work to do, but you will see that before I even knew I was a T4, that I have plenty of evidence…but still work to do. Excuse the shoe mess but I throw them in there and shut the door in a rush. Will do an after once I do some shopping.
