Thank you so much for sharing your insights into these questions. It is always a good thing to be reminded to be less judgmental and to let go of “shoulds”! However, I do believe I should be wearing Anne’s pants. Where did she get them?
Haha. Love it. They were sold in the DYT store about 3 years ago. I just googled “gray lace pants” and found these. They are kind of similar: https://www.guessfactory.com/en/Catalog/View/Q34Q11K0931
Yes every time I see those pants Anne I wish I had a pair. So beautiful and they seem to really make an outfit. Loved your “this is my place of power” statement. Wrote that one down to remember and remind myself.
I’m a Type 1/4/3/2. (In other words, I have very little Type 2 in me!) What I found interesting about this talk was watching the dynamic between these two ladies. To be honest, this talk was really too slow and measured for my liking, and it seemed like it was for Carol as well – it looked like her Type 3 energy just wanted to hurry things along!
It really made me appreciate how ideal it is for these Expert Q&As to be hosted by 2 or more women of the same type, wherever possible. Carol’s expertise is always valuable, don’t get me wrong, but I’m guessing that the Type 2 members might have been a bit sad that Michelle couldn’t make it this time 🙂
This is not a criticism at all, just an observation! I really enjoy seeing the differences in the types. (My analytical Type 4 secondary is very strong!)
Thanks again for all the wonderful resources you ladies provide for us. I really love having access to all four types’ content. Keep up the fabulous work!
Thanks for sharing your observation Bettina. I was very comfortable with the pace of this event. I truly honor every Type and love the opportunity to support the women and space in an event like this. I was grateful to be asked by Anne to participate. Thank you for appreciating my expertise.
Thanks for taking the time to reply, Carol. I’m sorry that I didn’t word my comment as well as I intended it. I think you’re an incredible woman and it’s certainly clear to me how much you genuinely respect, care for and connect with each person you appear with.
What I meant to highlight was that this video in particular really brought home to me the difference in movement between the types. Anne’s calm presence in comparison to your dynamic drive, as expressed in the way you each sit and move in your seats 🙂
Much love to both of you (and the rest of the DYT gang!)

I am so glad you are selling the styleguides. I ordered and am waiting for them here in Finland. I had the type 4 course and finally settled and relaxed into the truth that I am a type 2. My daughter is a type 2 too. Finally we can relax. The interesting thing is that I really did not like the type 4 colours and have always been drawn to the soft and flowing.
What kept me from seeing the truth was my fear of becoming invisible, overseen and too slow.
My daughter is already called slow and dreaming. The try to speed her up in pre-school. Now I can support her better too. I watched the energy profiling videos with her and she recognized herself directly in the typer 2. She is just 6 years old. I am still working on my issues from my childhood and slowly settling deeper into my natural movement.
I can´t say how thankful I feel about this!
Anne looks really amazing! i really love those trousers…
Thanks for sharing your success Eva-Lotta! I’m glad you’re part of our DYT community.
Just wanna say, Anne, you look so pretty here! <3
Thanks, Andrea! You’re so sweet!
Thanks Lindsay! 🙂
Wow! Loved Tanner’s observation of “your place of power”. What a great way to remember to keep ourselves centered in our own energies.
I have the same issue with putting on makeup and I use an Ott light and a magnifying mirror. Works great!
I have been dressing as a type 2 for a year and a half. I was out with my sister and ran into someone she works with and I have met a few times. She looked at me with a puzzled look and said I haven’t seen you for 2 years and I didn’t recognize you, do you have a new haircut, I like it.
Dressing my truth as a type 2 has made me more comfortable with who I am and I have noticed that I am interacting more with others in a social setting. I was introduced to someone recently and after talking for a bit, she said I noticed you as soon as you walked into the room, you looked so put together.
Fabulous video!! Loved it – I always learn so much every time I watch a video 🙂
I just wanted to say that pre DYT I was wearing a lot of t4 bold colors for probably the past 5-7 years. So I initially typed myself as a t2 and was devastated that I would have to give up my black and white prints and bold red that I had grown to love. I tried to “convince” myself that I must be t4 instead because I was so drawn to those high contrast colors. However, after dressing in the t4 colors (I was still doing a lot of ruffles and soft fabrics though), I still didn’t feel right. I watched one of Carols typing videos on a t2 and realized how many t2 characteristics my face had. I decided to give it another try and I am so glad I did. As I look back before the last 5-7 years I actually did wear a lot of t2 colors. As a t2, it was hard for me to change the way I had been dressing for so many years plus knowing a lot of people I’m around probably dress more t4, I was afraid I wouldn’t be “stylish”. Now that I’ve been dressing t2 for about 9 months, black and white print actually almost hurts my eyes! I’ve come to love my t2 colors and feel like they definitely look better on me! So if you are having a hard time giving up certain colors, give it time and make sure you find colors that maybe are either lighter or darker tones. I was wearing a lot of taupe and that really isn’t a flattering color on me.
Didn’t Anne say in some video that her jeans are from the DYT store from a while back? I would LOVE these jeans! Any chance of getting them back in the store??
We restock regularly items that the manufacturers make available to us. These jeans are not something that we are getting into the online store at this time. Thank you for asking Emily.
