Fashion meme

Stole this from Tormentosa. Wow, two non-blackberry picture posts in one day! That’s got to be some sort of record for me :)

* Name the item of clothing that has been with you the longest:

2 merino wool cardigans I purchased about 3-4 years ago (one black and one maroon). Surprisingly, they were very cheap (in price) and I really didn’t think they’d hold up for this long.

* Other than jeans, what’s an article of clothing that you can’t live without?

Jackets - everything from winter jackets/coats, trenches, leather bombers, blazers - and more!

* What was the last item of clothing you bought?

A pair of Chip & Pepper jeans in medium wash (see photo above) about half an hour ago. I really am not good at this whole “saving money” thing. Can’t go wrong with denim, though!

* Describe your perfect winter & summer footwear:

Winter: Boots, warm boots.
Summer: Flats, especially with ankle wraps (cute). I hate flipflops (and don’t wear them unless I’m on vacation or at the beach) - think of how dirty your feet get!

* And what’s a brand you wouldn’t recommend?

Mexx - I’m fairly certain it’s a Canadian company (correct me if I’m wrong) but every single time I have gone into that store to buy work clothing, the fabric is always so scratchy and there are always loose threads!

* What’s the ugliest trend of all time?

Crop tops/belly shirts. Wtf? Nobody needs to see that shit, yo.

* And the best?

Leather. Period. ;)

* What was your biggest fashion faux-pas?

I bought a pair of Uggs 2 years ago. I’m sorry.

* What colors predominate in your wardrobe?

Black, grey and fuchsia (so hot together, too).

* What are your vintage shopping strategies?

Will only do vintage accessories (excluding earrings, of course). Cannot accept the idea of wearing someone else’s clothes that they was once in contact with sweat, pores, dead skin and other bodily fluids.

* What’s the most insane piece of clothing that you have ever owned?

A silver-sequined platform espadrille. Yeah, I’m not sure either. Never wore them, ever.

* If you could describe the majority of the clothes you own in one word, what would it be?

Aggressive.
