What drives your purchases?
What doesn't drive my purchases! If I see an accessory, cool print or top, the first thing that comes to mind is how I can style and mix it with my existing wardrobe.
Shopping Desires:
God! Okay, I buy things that make me feel happy, so whether that is a certain color, or print; I'm usually driven by pieces that make me feel happy. I like accessories that pull together complete outfits. I like the little things that add to an outfit.
How do you react to trends?
I'm usually slow to pick up on a trend. I don't necessarily follow what's on trend at a given time. If there is a specific trend that I like, I tend to buy pieces within that area. For example, The Aztec trend. I'll buy pieces along that theme. I feel like I buy trends when they are no longer in trend anymore.
Fave brands, if any?
My favorite brand would be Ann Taylor Loft. I'm also going to say J Crew. I like the simplistic, classic sort of style. I can accessorize classic,chic and simple styles with accessories; a piece of jewelry, handbag, shoes.
Favorite online shops:
None, really.
Fave item to buy each season:
Fall- Boots
Winter- A Coat
Spring- I love Spring dresses, but dont necessarily look for new ones every Spring.
Summer- Purse or bag, I like two switch up from a basic black or brown and switch to a bright colored bag or a pattern/print.
Can't live without:
My knee high boots!
Where do you find most of your wardrobe pieces these days?
Lately I've been shopping at local thrift stores and flea markets. I like the idea of mixing vintage with new items to complete a look. I like to balance classic, timeless pieces, with something very trendy at the moment.
