Discover your color palette and your style type. - Truth is Beauty

My Conversation with Gabrielle Arruda on YouTube

2/28/2025

Hey, beautiful women. 👋

Recently, I sat down for an hour-long conversation about color and style analysis with fashion designer and style blogger Gabrielle Arruda.

It was a wide-ranging discussion. In the past, I've mostly been reluctant to put my face and voice out in the world; I'm an introvert! But, to my surprise, I enjoyed the opportunity to speak at length about the logic behind the Truth is Beauty system and the philosophy I bring to color and style analysis.

If you want a better understanding of who I am as an analyst, or what the Truth is Beauty system is about, I recommend listening to my conversation with Gabrielle. I think it's a good representation of my ideas and my values.

**Gabrielle's podcast, Style POV,** is a great resource to gain a more zoomed-out understanding of color and style analysis; she's had a lot of amazing guests on the show. Exploring different systems and philosophies can help you find the system that works best for you.

"My closet has totally transformed into something I like, but don't think about much. How amazing is that? I just walk in, grab something for the occasion and the weather, and go. Because it's all the same color season, it all blends. Because it's all the right style (my style, so who cares if it's 'in'? It looks good on me) I can rest assured it looks about right. It's really amazing.

"I waste a lot less time and money now with shopping. I can walk into a store and rule out 90% of the inventory. I now try things I never would have dared and happily pass over things I used to think I had to have. Shopping is just a hunt now, not a source of guilt. I feel like I'm a lot less wasteful and more mindful this way."
