The Fashion Tag!

Well today I'm doing something a little different: the Fashion Tag, which I got the idea from on Anna Saccone's blog. It's basically a bunch of fashion-related questions that I'm going to answer because I have nothing better to do for your reading enjoyment. :)

1. How would you describe your style?

     An era-hopping ball-jointed doll gone wrong; my style is fashion lived as an art medium. Is that pretentious enough?

2. What are your wardrobe staples?

     Necklaces, black combat boots, and black dresses.

3. Most expensive item in your closet?

     My latest pair of Doc Martens, which set me back $90. Well worth it, and cheap for Doc Martens!

4. Most wanted item?

     Oh gosh, I have to narrow it down to just one? Well, probably anything from Christian Dior's 1960s line of dresses!

5. Favorite designer?

     Besides myself, Vivienne Westwood, definitely! She's my queen!

6. How much do you spend on clothes?

     Depends on the item, really. Most of my clothes are around $20 apiece, nothing too grandiloquent. Some of my more ~glamorous~ pieces run for $60+ but for the most part, I frequent thrift stores and department store discounts. I'm always hunting for a good bargain, and many of my clothes are handmade, of course!

7. What are your favourite places to shop?

     Vintage markets and thrift stores are my temples. I also like Forever 21, H&M, and stores like TJ Maxx and Nordstrom Rack. 

8. Favourite fragrance?

     I'm nothing without my Fame by Lady Gaga and Honey by Marc Jacobs. 

9. What's your favourite way to do your hair?

     Comme ça--I sleep in tight braids, and once I loosen my hair, it looks like this frizzy mess that I adore!

10. What is your go-to outfit when you have no idea what to wear?

     This is my go-to lazy dress, which I pair with a kimono/cardigan/jacket and boots.

11. One fashion trend you wish would come back or stay?

     Circle dresses/skirts! I don't mean those tiny jersey ones, I'm talking the huge ones worn during the 50s with layers and layers of petticoats. These changed my life, seriously. 

12. Show us your most prized possession in your wardrobe.

     Aside from the pieces that I've made, these babies are my everything. Take a second to bask in their glory. Thank you, Jeffrey Campbell.

13. Tag some people.

    I tag all of you reading right now! Go do this tag, go go go!

Well, this was fun. I think I'll do more of these when I find more!
