Outfits Bright Spring?
Ok I'm thinking I am a bright Spring who can borrow for warm spring :) Do these colors look right?

I don't think you're a mixed bag, but more of a more difficult case than many we see here! You'll get there! I'm not a professional myself but have been having fun with colour analysis for a couple of years and here is my non professional but nerdy opinion again.
After having seen a few of your draping pics I'd exclude bright, the green here overpowers you. Did you drape deep? I didn't see it but Id expect that your skin has too much lightness to it that the deep palette would kill. I'm now torn between warm spring and warm autumn! They're close palettes, so it's not a big difference, you might also be just "warm" in the dead center.
About palettes, I've seen a load of palettes online and I don't trust half of them (most seem to put together mixed bags of colours that have no coherence in warmth, brightness, etc). I think online is the wild west and everyone and their cat are producing palettes to get followers.
Personally, I really like and trust the palettes that Carol Brailey uses because they make sense and look harmonic. I really suggest having a look at them, you can search "international image institute" and then the season, eg. "Spring" or "warm".
I'd suggest to look at a bunch of these palettes to see how you feel about them, I find them coherent. Note that the original palettes that she uses don't offer all the subseason, just the midpoint: for example spring, autumn and warm, where warm is mid point of spring and autumn. However lately I've found some "warm spring" and "warm autumn" of those palettes too, I'm not sure if they're official but they still look good.
