Tuesday This-or-That?

1. What's your personal clothing style...trendy or classic?
My style is classic to the point where I don't wear trendy things until they're a couple of years past the current style and have been established as more than a passing fad. I finally own 3/4 length sleeve shirts now and I think I would actually buy some capri pants. I'm such a dork.

2. Do you shop for designer names or stick with the more generic brands?
I don't wear Tommy Hilfiger or something like that, but I do like to wear Levis and I shop at The Gap from time to time. Does that count? If it fits and looks good, I'd be just as happy in a shirt from Meijers as one from The Gap, though.

3. Work clothes: dressy or casual?
They're more casual than I'd sometimes like. Sometimes I get frustrated in the morning because I can't find anything, so I just wear jeans. Also, it's a bit SUPER FREEZING COLD here to wear skirts every day.

4. Days off style: dressy or casual?
Casual to the point of slovenly? Sometimes I have the urge to dress up on the weekends and then I wonder why I couldn't find that outfit during the week.

5. Women: high heels or flats? Men: Wing-tips or work boots?
I think flat dress shoes look dumb unless you're Mary Tyler Moore, but I do like to wear tennis shoes for comfort. I don't like high heels, but when you're as short as I am, it's nice to have a boost of an inch or two.

6. Do you have a large wardrobe, or just a few carefully selected pieces?
I have way more clothes than any normal human being could ever need. Maybe I'm just lazy about doing laundry. I can't wait until I go to France and only have the clothes and possessions that I need. It feels so much healthier than here, where I'm surrounded by stuff.

7. Do you shop for clothing at stores or from catalogs/internet?
Not much, but I probably would. And they probably wouldn't fit. See #9.

8. Are most of your clothes dry-clean only or machine-washable?
Machine-washable. Even if they're dry-clean only, I usually try to wash them. Sometimes they survive.

9. You buy an article of clothing and realize it is all wrong for you when you get home. Return or keep it?
Story of my life. Another explanation for why I have so many clothes. I don't like to shop and I don't like to try things on, so I usually just grab something that looks nice on the hanger, then I go home and it doesn't fit. Then I'm too lazy to look for the receipt or go back to the store. I haven't quite mastered the concept that just because something is in my size, doesn't necessarily mean it fits.

10. Hats: yes or no?
Sometimes, now that I have contacts. They don't work with glasses at all. And woolen caps make my hair all staticky and awful.
