Girly meme! stolen from kayljay



A: What accessories do you wear everyday?
I'm not much for accessories. My engagement and wedding ring, if they count.

B: What is your beauty routine?
Ha, um. I'm not much for routines? I generally try to keep myself groomed (haircolor up to date, unwanted hair gone, etc) but that's the only stuff I consider routine. I try to straighten my hair whenever possible (as it's got strange ideas of wave and body) and wear makeup sporadically.

C: What was the last item of clothing (for yourself) that you purchased?
Boots. Whee! I love boots.

D: Do you use a dresser, closet, or both?
Definitely both. In fact, I gradually encroach on my husband's side of the closet too. Really, I need a luxurious walk-in dressing suite... that'd solve a lot of problems.

E: What type of earrings are in your ears right now?
Nothing. I only wear them occasionally - usually simple diamond studs or pearl drops.

F: What type of figure do you have?
Curvy and overweight. Soon to obtain that lovely carrying-a-beachball silhouette :D

G: Do you wear glasses?
Nope, just cheap sunglasses when needed.

H: What type of handbag do you carry?
My current one is a handbag with lots of pouches (I have a need to compartmentalize, okay?) and has a muted print of old postcards. For a long time I was a 'simple & black' devotee, but in the last couple years I've been drifting more towards the 'but I want it to be cute' school of thought. Really, size and number of pockets are far more important though.

I: What is your ideal style?
I've never really been stylish per se. I like a lot of simple basics, I like really feminine stuff, I like some cute retro stuff, and I like things that have a lot of buckles and straps and such. I think calling myself 'ecclectic' is a kind way of putting it.

J: What is your favorite brand of jeans?
I'm not so much with the brands. I'm more about the 'super cheap and fit well' mentality.

K: Do you wear knee-hi stockings?
Er, no. Really, I just don't get those at all.

L: Do you *have* to wear matching lingerie?
I don't have to, but I almost always am. I like matchy stuff.

M: Do you wear makeup?
Yes, but not everyday. I'm working on doing it more, as it does make a difference in how I look and feel, but it's just not a habit so I often forget.

N: Do you wear nightgowns?
Working on this one.

O: What outerwear do you put on when going out on a typical winters day?
I usually dress for warmth, so don't need to add anything - it is the bay area, you know? Not as if I'm trekking through the sleet. I do have jackets that I occasionally grab (usually if I'm dressed up for some reason) and have a really cute hat and scarf that I pretty much never wear.

P: What is your favorite perfume?
I like and own a large variety, but can't really say I have a favorite, and nothing that I wear way more than anything else.

Q: Is your motto "quality over quantity" when it comes to clothing and accessories?
Enh, I'm kinda in the middle there. I want both. Plus I want it to be cheap.

R: Do you wear rain boots?
Not since I was little.

S: Do you wear socks or slippers when your feet get cold?
Usually socks. I think I have some slippers somewhere....

T: Do you have a set of travel luggage?
More than one.

U: What is your daily uniform?
Nearly always jeans, plus a tee if it's warm or a sweater if it's cold. Mules in summer and boots in winter.

V: If you are married, did you wear a veil with your wedding dress? If not, how did you do your hair?
Yes. I did my hair in a fairly simple bun. The veil was first purchased for my mother in law and is something of a family heirloom/tradition, as well as being quite beautiful (those Belgians know their lace, you know) - I was flattered and thrilled when she offered to let me wear it.

W: Do you wear a watch?
No. This used to be a problem, really, but I could never find one I liked. Now I have my phone to check the time with.

X: What item of clothing always makes you feel beautiful?
Can I choose a whole genre? I have a great and passionate love for corsets. I also have a black silk and velvet formal gown that is ridiculously impractical and gorgeous. And I still love my wedding gown.

Y: What is your favorite type of yarn?
I like yarn with a squishy, chunky texture. Chenille is great if it can keep from shedding.

Z: Do you prefer zippers or buttons?
Lacing. Buckles. Ties. Zippers.

Um, not quite.
It was purchased for my Nanny, specifically it was a gift from a family friend at the time. That's why it always had to go back to the UK after use. My mom wore it, my aunt Jacquie wore it, Becky wore it. Various female cousins from the UK side wore it as well. Mom was talking to Nanny about you when we were first engaged, and Nanny asked if she thought you'd like to wear the veil. At least that's the story I got from Mom.

Hmm, I wish there was an easy way to check on that. My understanding was that your Nanny had purchased it for your mother (that your mom was the first person to wear it, but it belonged to Nanny/the family). :\ I am unhappy about possibly giving out the wrong info. Sorry sugar!
