I’ll have to explore these more later, but I always say I need help in this area 😅 After watching the overview video, I think mushroom (water) and mountain would be my top 2. The third is probably either stone or earth. I’d have to rewatch. Mountain/Mushroom is definitely my work/professional wardrobe for teaching, but my casual style would be mushroom/stone or something like that.

I think I’m a spring when it comes to color season typing.

The body type stuff would be helpful too. I’m currently post-partum, which I find the most difficult from the fashion side. Looking cute with a little extra weight and still being able to have nursing access is a lot to ask from an outfit 😅 Lots of casual separates, and avoiding dresses.

Yes!! Dressing postpartum is so difficult. I would suggest starting with the body matrix videos rather than the Kibbe body types: while I can find Kibbe helpful (I’m a soft dramatic), I found the body matrix more helpful as a young mom: knowing my clothes should have roundness, length, or width is a lot easier to follow when thrifting 😂 for example, I’ve found that getting dresses with wide rounded shoulders (Anne of Green Gables puffed sleeves, anyone?) look flattering on me despite the baby belly puff—that’s been really nice to find and make use of what I have! Stone was a close second for my third style type; mushroom and mountain are just perfect for professionalism and for clean/simple outfits!
