fashion, turn to the left!

A: What accessories do you wear everyday?
I wish I could wear my wedding ring every day. It isn't practical for the sort of work I do.
B: What is your beauty routine?
Wash face with Pumpkin Seed soap from work, use one of a variety of serums (C+E or lactic acid). I'm in love with the new line we have at work, Kinara, and really adore their eye cream and Intensive Moisturizer.
For hair I'm using the Organix line you can get at Walgreens. It smells like coconut and doesn't have sulfites! I'd been using drugstore gels and stuff on my hair, and they sucked, so I just bought Matrix Defining Elixer. Not too expensive at CVS and it made my curls go *sproing*
For body I'm using the lavender Dr. Bronners soap and spritizing myself with a magnolia scented body oil spray from work. Smells so good!
C: What was the last item of clothing (for yourself) that you purchased?
knee socks and a black long sleeve t from H&M.
D: Do you use a dresser, closet, or both?
Dresser, closet, and the computer chair that is substituting as a hanger lately.
E: What type of earrings are in your ears right now?
My earlobes healed up years ago, which I curse myself for. I really want to get them re-pierced this year.
F: What type of figure do you have (measurements)?
No clue. I got measured when I had my wedding dress made, but damn if I can remember what they were.
G: Do you wear glasses?
Sure do. Found the frames for $25 on ebay and had my prescription put in them.
H: What type of handbag do you carry?
Lately it's a cute tote bag I found for $15 recently.
I: What is your ideal style?
I like doing the retro thing. I swoon every time I see polka dots or pinstripes, even if I already own doubles of the same sort of thing.
J: What is your favorite brand of jeans?
Whatever fits and comes in size petite.
K: Do you wear knee-hi stockings?
Getting into knee-hi socks on a practical level right now. It adds an extra layer for winter!
L: Do you *have* to wear matching lingerie?
I wish I could be the type of girl to match her bras and panties, but I'm just too lazy. I'm sure there are days where I do match and don't even notice.
M: Do you wear makeup?
I'm in love with Terra Firma foundation. Gives perfect coverage without looking makeupy. I love eye makeup, but my eyes are deep set so you can't tell when I wear it. My cosmetic downfall is red lipstick...I own a ton and it still isn't enough.
N: Do you wear nightgowns?
Nope.
O: What outerwear do you put on when going out on a typical winters day?
My new purple wool coat (yay, no black coat this year!), my red cabled scarf that I knit, wool convertible mittens I got recently that I love, and a black hat. Need to find a pattern to knit a hat soon.
P: What is your favorite perfume?
Anna Sui
Q: Is your motto "quality over quantity" when it comes to clothing and accessories?
I've become this way about shoes, because having comfortable feet is so important. As for clothes, I still prefer H&M or stuff from resale stores. Quite frankly, I have tank tops and skirts from cheap stores that are still wearable after years, so I don't see the difference. Unless it's from Urban Outfitters. Those clothes will wear through after two months.
R: Do you wear rain boots?
I almost bought a pair of skull and crossbones Wellies last week that were on sale! In the end I chickened out. Rain boots just aren't me, even if they have skulls on them.
S: Do you wear socks or slippers when your feet get cold?
Right now socks because I can only find one slipper.
T: Do you have a set of travel luggage?
Don't think I need a set since it's too expensive to check luggage in at airlines now. I've been using my carry on that I actually got from esthetics school. I've been stalking better carry ons on overstock.com, but haven't gotten one yet. Should have since I'm going out of town in a couple weeks.
U: What is your daily uniform?
Daily uniform is usually jeans, baby-t and a cardigan or hoodie over it. I love clothes, but day to day I'm pretty boring.
V: If you are married, did you wear a veil with your wedding dress? If not, how did you do your hair?
No veil for me. I wore a red beaded tiara I bought on etsy.
W: Do you wear a watch?
I used to always wear a watch. Now I just check my cell phone.
X: What item of clothing always makes you feel beautiful?
John Fluevog shoes.
Y: What is your favorite type of yarn?
Merino.
Z: Do you prefer zippers or buttons?
Depends on the clothing.
I like a button fly on jeans, but zippers for coats.<---Exactly
