    2) do you always accesorize, or only when you're really dressing up? Almost always.

    2) do you always accesorize, or only when you're really dressing up? I wear earrings every day, and try to make them match, does that count?

    3) do you change purses to match your outfit?  Hahahahahahahaaaaaaaa!  I don't even carry a purse.

    1) favorite item in your wardrobe right now AG maternity cords I scored for cheap at a consignment store. Also, ALL THE SHOES.

    2) do you always accesorize, or only when you're really dressing up? Always

    3) do you change purses to match your outfit? No, but I should. I use a purse for months/years then when I get a new one, the old one goes in a box, rarely to be used again. I have a giant box of pretty purses.

    4) do you wear dresses regularly, or only under threat of dismemberment? I wear more skirts than dresses but that's because I like to mix and match. I still love dresses.

  • 1) favorite item in your wardrobe right now I have this really great pair of skinny jeans that were given to me by a friend. They fit perfectly and don't stretch out at the bum or knees. I'd wear them everyday if I could.
    2) do you always accesorize, or only when you're really dressing up? I wear the same necklace day to day. It's a simple chain with two pendants (one from my Mum and one from MH). I also wear my wedding rings and the same pair of earrings every day. I have a few braclets that I'll rotate through, but not daily. I only change it up when I'm getting dressed up.
    3) do you change purses to match your outfit? Nope.
    4) do you wear dresses regularly, or only under threat of dismemberment? I wear dresses in the warmer months, but rarely in winter.

    2) do you always accesorize, or only when you're really dressing up? I usually have on a necklace and watch. I switch it up more if the outfit is fun.
    3) do you change purses to match your outfit? Nope - way too much effort.
    4) do you wear dresses regularly, or only under threat of dismemberment? Regularly. And more since I'm pregnant because finding tall maternity pants is a PITA.
  • 1) favorite item in your wardrobe right now 
    Gorgeous white and cream lace dress I just purchase, and nude 4 inch heels ( i love them because I don't general do high heels, they are super comfortable). 
     
    2) do you always accesorize, or only when you're really dressing up?
    I'm really awful, when it come accessories, I love wearing earrings, big one little one, that and my watch is usually what I go for, very boring.  

    3)  do you change purses to match your outfit? yes I do, but I'm addicted to purses ;)

    4) do you wear dresses regularly, or only under threat of dismemberment? I love dresses, but mostly wear them to church or a special outing with DH.

    2) do you always accessorize, or only when you're really dressing up? Try to regularly, but mostly when I dress up.
    3) do you change purses to match your outfit? No.  I have a handful I use, but I'm too lazy for daily switching.
    4) do you wear dresses regularly, or only under threat of dismemberment? Almost never, but mostly because I don't have a reason to.  Maybe maxis in the summer, but beyond events, no.

    1) favorite item in your wardrobe right now  A Modern Flirt Skirt from etsy.  I have 2, but I seriously need more.  These things are amazing.
    2) do you always accesorize, or only when you're really dressing up? Always, but I have certain jewelry that I wear everyday (read: weekend) and others that I wear to work.  I haven't really dressed up in ages, but my job is pretty formal, and what I generally consider work attire others may consider dressed up.
    3) do you change purses to match your outfit? No, but I change purses depending on where I'm going, if I'm taking kids, and what I need to be carrying.  They don't match my outfit.
    4) do you wear dresses regularly, or only under threat of dismemberment?  I wear dresses or skirts almost every day to work.  The other option is a pantsuit and I look like a linebacker in blazers.  On weekends I usually wear yoga pants, a dress with leggings, or jeans.

  • 1) favorite item in your wardrobe right now  yoga pants

    2) do you always accesorize, or only when you're really dressing up?  only when dressing up

    3) do you change purses to match your outfit?  No.  It's way too much effort.  And I'm picky about purses for some reason.  It can take years for me to find one I like.  No clue why.

    4) do you wear dresses regularly, or only under threat of dismemberment?  Occasionally when I'm feeling too lazy to put together an outfit.

    3) do you change purses to match your outfit? I always usually use the same purse, unless it's a special occasion like a wedding. 
    4) do you wear dresses regularly, or only under threat of dismemberment? I rarely wear dress pants, I'd rather wear a dress and tights, luckily my job has a very causal dress code.

  • 1) favorite item in your wardrobe right now  my chacos  I'm so glad to be wearing sandals again!
    2) do you always accesorize, or only when you're really dressing up?  Hardly ever. 
    3) do you change purses to match your outfit?  I don't actually own a purse.  I do carry a racquetball bag for my school stuff though. 
    4) do you wear dresses regularly, or only under threat of dismemberment? I really only wear dresses to church or really nice dates with DH.
  • 1) favorite item in your wardrobe right now My navy blazer.  I'm wearing it today!
    2) do you always accesorize, or only when you're really dressing up? Accessorizing is really difficult for me.  I always have on my rings, most of the time my diamond studs, and I'm trying to get better about wearing a watch every day.  I am also trying to be a little more creative with necklaces and scarves.
    3) do you change purses to match your outfit? I do on the weekends or for going out, but I carry the same purse to work for a while before I switch it out.
    4) do you wear dresses regularly, or only under threat of dismemberment?  Dresses are so easy and comfortable to me, so I wear them pretty regularly.  Especially during the summer. I can't stand wearing jeans or pants when it's hot outside.

  • 1) My favorite thing right now is my jean jacket. I love wearing it over dresses, to make them slightly more casual.
    2) I change bracelets and/or necklaces fairly regularly, but I leave the same earrings in all the time.
    3) No way. I can't afford the money or the time to switch purses that often.
    4) I'm trying to start wearing dresses more often, but it's hard when you're super short. Not all dresses are easily hemmed, and it's expensive to get complicated alterations.

    Vellichor: The strange wistfulness of used bookstores
  • 1) favorite item in your wardrobe right now a new dress that I haven't worn yet.  I'm so excited for the day I'll actually wear it.  I've lost enough wait to look good in it.
    2) do you always accesorize, or only when you're really dressing up? yes
    3) do you change purses to match your outfit? I do on the weekends.  During the week, I usually bring my gym bag to work, but my gym bag is pretty trendy so it's not like I'm walking around with a nasty, smelly bag.
    4) do you wear dresses regularly, or only under threat of dismemberment?  Yes, but I'm usually more likely to wear them in the spring and summer.  I take public transportation and I refuse to wait in -5 degree weather in just tights.  I find dresses so comfortable.

    It's slippery as waterweed.
  • 1. Right now I just wear lots of PJs and my bathrob. I am happy that all my pre pregnancy clothes fit again. 2. I wear my rings and a watch on a daily basis but not sure if that counts 3. No, unless we are going out somewhere nice or somewhere it doesn't make sense to bring my big purse, then I have a small wrist bag or a clutch. 4. Love dresses, I wear them all summer.
    Whether or not you find your own way, you're bound to find some way. If you happen to find my way, please return it, as it was lost years ago. I imagine by now it's quite rusty.”

  • 1) favorite item in your wardrobe right now My new Calvin Klein jeans that I got at TJ Maxx.  They are SOOO soft and comfortable without looking schlumpy.
    2) do you always accessorize, or only when you're really dressing up? If I'm leaving the house I'm making an effort, so yes.
    3) do you change purses to match your outfit? Ish.  I generally have a black one or a brown one and whichever goes better, that's what I use.  I have other ones too but those are the primary ones.  I used to have multiple colors, but not as much anymore
    4) do you wear dresses regularly, or only under threat of dismemberment? Sure, as long as I'm either wearing tights or shorts underneath.  Chub rub is no joke.

  • 1) favorite item in your wardrobe right now My favorite grey sweatpants because they are comfy and actually pretty cute because they look like yoga pants. Also my mint green shirt because it's so soft and looks really nice on me in my opinion.

    2) do you always accesorize, or only when you're really dressing up? Always. I have a very plain wardrobe, lots of solid colors and I mix and match a lot of stuff. Adding necklaces or fun belts or shoes really improves my outfits.

    3) do you change purses to match your outfit? Nope, I never think to even though I have a lot of purses. I use the same one for months and months until I'm sick of it or I find another one I like that I want to use instead.

    4) do you wear dresses regularly, or only under threat of dismemberment? I wear them frequently in warm weather, usually April-September. Maybe two or three times a week or more. I love a sundress with a cute pattern. I have several lighter material dresses that dress up nice for work but are still comfy in hot weather.

  • 1) favorite item in your wardrobe right now  My lightweight Champion pullover jacket. It means it's warming up! :)

    2) do you always accesorize, or only when you're really dressing up?  What are these accessories you speak of? I wear my wedding rings and my right hand ring and that's all. I'm trying to find a new watch to wear now that I'm taking classes I feel like my wrist is nekkid.

    3) do you change purses to match your outfit?  I have my every day purse, some days I just grab my wallet and go. Only time I carry a dressier purse is for a wedding/ funeral.

    4) do you wear dresses regularly, or only under threat of dismemberment? Dresses wouldn't be practical for my job. I do like wearing casual skirts/ sundresses for summer. I will gladly wear a dress for something fancier though.

  • 1) favorite item in your wardrobe right now Pair of Mudd skinny jeans.  They actually fit without having to wear a belt.
    2) do you always accesorize, or only when you're really dressing up?  Always accessorize but sometimes more than others.
    3) do you change purses to match your outfit? I hate purses.  I've been using the same one since DD was born.  I don't plan on changing it anytime soon.
    4) do you wear dresses regularly, or only under threat of dismemberment? What is this "dress" thing you speak of???

    2) do you always accesorize, or only when you're really dressing up?  I don't even SLEEP without earrings in, and of course my rings.  I only add additional jewelry/scarves when I'm doing something other than work (at home), but not necessarily fancy.

    3) do you change purses to match your outfit?  I love scarves and jewelry and shoes... but I am not a purse girl.  I actually have just been carrying around a big wallet with a strap on it lately.

  • 1) favorite item in your wardrobe right now
     Definitely my maternity jeans and work pants. SO comfortable! 

    2) do you always accesorize, or only when you're really dressing up?
    I try to wear nice earrings and rings to work, but outside of work I only accessorize on special occasions. 

    3) do you change purses to match your outfit?
    I only switch purses a couple times a year. I try to get neutral colors that will match most of what I wear. 

    4) do you wear dresses regularly, or only under threat of dismemberment?
    I almost never wear dresses except when I'm a bridesmaid or attending the Marine Corps ball. But since I'll be pregnant over the summer, I might end up wearing more dresses to keep cool and still look like I put an effort into my wardrobe.
