\"Do<\/a>Do people constantly tell you to “hurry up?” Do you chide yourself for being “too sensitive?” Do you have trouble making decisions?<\/p>\n

All these things could indicate that you are a Type Two Woman. The good news is, these seemingly negative things are actually indications of some of your greatest gifts!<\/p>\n

In the Dressing Your Truth System created by Carol Tuttle<\/a> (which you can read about in my posts More Than a Makeover–Part One<\/a> and More Than a Makeover–Part Two<\/a>), every person has a “type,” which is determined by the nature of energy we exhibit in our lives.<\/p>\n

Our innate, personal characteristics govern to a great extent how we act and react.<\/p>\n

And when we discover and see who we truly are on the inside, and match it with what we wear on the outside, our natural beauty really shines through!<\/p>\n

Today I will be discussing the DYT Type Two Woman, otherwise known as the “Soft, Subtle Woman.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dressing Your Truth Type 2 Characteristics<\/h2>\n

If you have a Type 2 personality or energy, you are probably very thoughtful and deliberate.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You want to make sure you thoroughly investigate every option before making a decision. This could be why other people want you to hurry up or get frustrated by your apparent lack of decision-making skills. It’s not that you lack the skills–it’s that you don’t want to rush into a hasty decision before you have carefully considered all the options.<\/p>\n

We have a joke about this in my family. My husband is a Type Two, and I almost dumped him before we got married because of what a slow shopper he was! I waited for him while he spent two hours in a little store trying to decide which leather jacket to buy! I make decisions more quickly, so this was agony for me!<\/p>\n

After we got married, this pattern continued. This is how I describe our two shopping styles. I am a “Hunter Shopper.” I know what I want before I go into the store. Once I get there, I want to go in, kill it, bag it, and get out. My husband is a “Museum Shopper.” He wants to slowly wander up and down every aisle, considering whether or not each item might be useful to us. Now that I understand this about him, I am more prepared to be patient when we are shopping together.<\/p>\n

Many Type Two women are very sensitive.<\/strong> This can manifest in getting your feelings hurt easily and taking offense when no offense is meant. But the flip side of the coin is that you have great compassion for others and are generally very tender and loving. You tune into the feelings of others and are often the first to reach out with helping hands.<\/p>\n

Most Type Two women have a calm demeanor and can “go with the flow.”<\/strong> Others tend to worry a lot, thinking about every possible outcome for every situation.<\/p>\n

You have a great attention to detail<\/strong> and are often the ones tying the prettiest bows and adding the flowers and other elegant finishing touches to any gift or room.<\/p>\n

My second daughter is a Type Two. She is very careful and thorough in her schoolwork and has the best handwriting of anyone in the family! She values comfort in her clothing and is a great organizer.<\/p>\n

DYT Type 2 Facial Features<\/h2>\n

In the picture of my daughter above, you can even see her Type Two nature expressed in her face.<\/p>\n

Many (but not all) Type Two women have large “doe eyes,” and soft cheeks that flow into the rest of their face.<\/p>\n

You can see that her skin tone is very even, blended and smooth. There is a gentle, fluid quality about her face.<\/p>\n

You can often see gentle “S” curves in the face (from the eyes down the nose, for example).<\/p>\n

Here are just a few of the gifts of the Type Two Woman:<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. You are very observant and notice little details that others may miss.<\/li>\n
  2. You are a “connector,” helping people come together in a loving way.<\/li>\n
  3. You are thorough and careful. A job you do is done well.<\/li>\n
  4. You are steady and reliable.<\/li>\n
  5. You are a peacemaker.<\/li>\n
  6. You are kind-hearted, patient, and gentle.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Type Two Women may have the following challenges:<\/h2>\n
      \n
    1. You get too caught up in the details and can’t see how to move forward.<\/li>\n
    2. You may be too attached to objects and memories (either good or bad) and not be able to let go of resentments and move forward in your life.<\/li>\n
    3. You may be so concerned about others’ feelings that you neglect your own.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Here are some words that describe Type 2 Characteristics:<\/h2>\n
