The Fashion Meme!
From mamichan, guivers, amyawesome, pollyhyper, and...wow, lots of other people have done this since I started filling it out!
A: What accessories do you wear everyday?
Rings
I always wear a necklace when my neck is visible (unless i'm wearing large earrings). It's almost always my teardrop pendant necklace from my sis:
or green amethyst pear-shaped briolette on a gold chain:
B: What is your beauty routine?
Morning - rinse face with warm water, apply body shop tea tree oil gel moisturizer.
Evening - rinse face or baby wipe or cleanse with cetaphil, depending on motivation level.
I shower every other morning, generally. I use Dove soap and/or Method body wash and Herbal Essences shampoo and Suave strawberry conditioner (Nizoral once a week).
C: What was the last item of clothing (for yourself) that you purchased?
Costco cotton undies in a six-pack. Oooh yeeeeah.
D: Do you use a dresser, closet, or both?
Both, but clothes generally sit in big piles on the floor.
E: What type of earrings are in your ears right now?
Nothing right now. I wear these a lot, though:
F: What type of figure do you have (measurements)?
Umm....type of figure? Short, short-waisted, large tatas.
G: Do you wear glasses?
Yep. Just got new ones:
They're similar to my old ones, but brown instead of black, and more rounded.
Here are the old ones:
H: What type of handbag do you carry?
At the moment, a gold nine west bag with the large nine west signature print all over it. I change purses quite frequently, though. Most of my purses are some sort of shade of green.
I: What is your ideal style?
Ideal style? Retro 60s classic with a lot of colour. In reality though, I'm pretty casual.
J: What is your favorite brand of jeans?
Gap, in Curvy Bootcut. They're the only jeans I wear.
K: Do you wear knee-high stockings?
Only under long pants or knee high boots.
L: Do you *have* to wear matching lingerie?
I've only ever had one set of matching bra and undies, and that was an accident (bought them on different days from Winners. What are the odds?) They got trashed at La Tomatina, so I threw them in the garbage right afterwards.
M: Do you wear makeup?
Probably 2-3 times a month. I wear usually wear make-up when I wear contacts because I feel like my face looks so plain without my glasses. When I do, I wear: powder foundation (by youngblood), eyeliner, eyeshadow, mascara. Lipgloss too, if I remember.
N: Do you wear nightgowns?
Nightgowns strangle me while I sleep...so, no. I generally wear a cami or big ratty t-shirt, a la Business Time, by Flight of the Conchords. When it's really cold, I wear flannel pajamas. (I'm a pretty sexy bitch.)
O: What outerwear do you put on when going out on a typical winters day?
A wool coat (I have a few in different colours), fun scarf, gloves. I almost never wear a hat, but I live in a pretty moderate climate.
P: What is your favorite perfume?
I almost never wear perfume because of allergies, but I can wear very small amounts of Aroma Tonic by Lancome. It's pretty fresh and citrusy.
Q: Is your motto "quality over quantity" when it comes to clothing and accessories?
Sort of. I'm trying to move towards that, instead of buying a ton of stuff that's super cheap. I think my motto is "buy what makes you feel good" Whether it's $2 or $200, I won't buy things if i don't need/love it.
R: Do you wear rain boots?
Nope. I only buy waterproof boots though, because I live in Vancouver. Hush Puppies are awesome.
S: Do you wear socks or slippers when your feet get cold?
Slippers. Large, plush slippers.
T: Do you have a set of travel luggage?
Not a set, but I have luggage, yes. A hard-sided medium rolly one (two identical ones, wedding gift from our friends), and a bright orange small rolly one that I used to drag back and forth from Victoria.
U: What is your daily uniform?
Jeans, short sleeved shirt or cami, cardigan/hoodie/sweater.
V: If you are married, did you wear a veil with your wedding dress? If not, how did you do your hair?
Veil. I've posted pictures of it before.
Here's what my hair looked like under there, though:
(End of the night picture, stolen from Clare.)
W: Do you wear a watch?
Occasionally.
X: What item of clothing always makes you feel beautiful?
Cute shoes! These are my current faves:
and, my wedding shoes (which go with everything!)
Y: What is your favorite type of yarn?
???
Z: Do you prefer zippers or buttons?
I like the look of buttons (especially big, fun buttons), but like the practicality of zippers. Plus, the tatas sort of limit my button usage.
I love reading everyone's answers. If you haven't done it yet...do!
