1. When do you feel at your most attractive?

wearing a loose top and yoga pants on a good hairday

2. Do you notice women on the street? If so, what sort of women do you tend to notice or admire?

interesting color choices

3. What are some things you admire about how other women present themselves?

looking polished and casual

when i realized that my pants were too dark to go with the navy button downs i kept buying. i looked monochromatic -- and not in a good way. Also, that people who look polished look that way because of the effort they put in.

thrift almost all your clothing. hang almost all your clothes in outfits and then from that -- figure out fashion holes -- ie a skirt basic enough that you can wear with all your tops.

Try to limit colors -- i wear primarily gray, blue, and black with a green, coral, red and oatmeal thrown in

when i realized that other people looked more put together because they bought more clothes -- mine have on occasion lasted 10 years.

navy blue button down shirts -- because formal clothing tends to last and is in decent condition at the thrift store.

ombre -- it's so eyecatching that it will be hard to style when it goes out. Also jumpsuits -- I have a short torso, and that never looks good when the fabric puddles around my middle.

Every wedding outfit.

college -- I was finally out of uniform and I started buying "artsy" clothes -- mostly because they were cheap and colorful

I don't think so.

Average height, small torso, curvy, healthy weight, slightly grey hair, happy smile.

convoluted and repetitive. Easily distracted

All over the place, but better now. Easy to cheer up but very reactive.

glasses, grey vneck, medium wash jeans bare feet, wet hair.

It can be beautiful and keep me warm.

Friends sometimes -- really it isn't something we talk about much.

They don't much -- other than making sure I don't wear clothes with cutouts.

I think so. I like understated, fitted clothes that aren't attention grabbing and slide into the background. I'm trying to get better about wearing beautiful clothing that fits. I felt frumpy recently because I'd changed weight. New clothes that fit helped tremendously.

I tend to wear clothes out, so even my large impulse purchases get worn. Probably my least rational and most expensive purchase were a pair of high leather boots which I haven't worn that much.

matching something light with something dark. It's amazing how that helps. Also getting rid of everything that is the correct size but doesn't flatter -- it doesn't fit you now, it wont later.

I make beautiful black and white drawings.

dressing up for a party -- if I feel pretty I won't be so nervous about going.

Yes. I like natural fibers and simple styles. I also like bright colors, although I seldom wear them. This follows other aspects of my life

No -- I've learned that I need fewer clothes than my mother and I do not buy something, just because it looks good -- I need to have a cause to wear it.

Tight fitting clothing ( my husband's fond of my yoga pants). Ironing my shirt -- a rarity. Also wearing clothes that a few shades away from each other in tone. I like single columns of color, like a monochromatic dress.

For comfort, I usually wear flats, and I do my best to wear shoes that fit. I dress for the weather -- I find women who under-dress ridiculous. I think the unstudied careless look attractive, but have realized that it takes more work than simply looking polished. (and polished is more than I usually manage.)

simple, fitted, causual and elegant -- that's what I'm going for at any rate

natural fibers cut simply.

paisly and busy prints.

Thankfully I don't think like this.

I pick something I feel pretty in. And it's usually the same few items, so I do a lot of laundry

to be covered and to like the way I look. Sometimes to be a particular character.

Usually the mess on the bed. Getting dressed is a far less involved process. It helps to have few options -- it makes getting dressed up far tidier.

an empire waisted top and fitted jeans.

monochromatic is me, usually, or simple pairings. Complicated prints are not me.

waspy American - and Australian. Probably years in school uniform have made me more amenable to the concept of a limited clothing palette.

Short skirts, bright colors -- ruffles, peasant skirts. and thin strapped tank tops. Well I hadn't figured out what bra I should wear, and that showing my bra strap isn't a good look. It was a bit like dressing a two year old - I bought what i liked and didn't fuss to much about it matching. I wore a lot of bright colors. I looked like I was going to art school, which I was at the time.

I iron my clothes. I'm working on the casual yet professional look -- it's not my forte.

I try to conform. If anything I'm too formal.

Not any more. I had a school uniform for 11 years.

I conformed without much fuss.

I found it comforting.

A fitted monochromatic dress is the closest to that ideal.

No. Mine's prettier.

I really liked the new look, although my torso is too short for it to look good on me.

When I look at a picture that's ten years old I do -- I'm too critical.

I look rounder than I feel

Not really.

No

High heels, a short skirt and no coat on a cold day.

The same clothes. I like my body for the most part. I wish i had a smaller stomach, and at least when it came time to buy clothes, smaller boobs would be helpful (although I like mine)

I mostly dress for myself, but it's always nice when my husband notices.

Fewer clothes makes it easier to get dressed.

I don't. And my husband's allergic.

Wash them

I'm slowly starting to feel obligated to wear makeup, but it's not something I enjoy.

Lots of dangley earrings --although they all fit in one box. Half a closet full of clothes -- 2 leggings, 2 jeans, 2 jersey dresses, some tshirts and a few wool long sleeves.

An empire waisted black and white stripe top and black leggings.

A patterned leaf dress that I keep for weddings. I don't particularly like it, but I can keep wearing it, and it looks decent. I have so few weddings so it doesn't make sense to keep buying new things to wear.

Natural fiber shirts.-- can't beat a silk top for 5 dollars at goodwill. I wore it to weddings, so it was a win.

A tiered wrap skirt with tiny brown abstracted flower pattern on it. I wore it so much that I used to sit in it and repair it while still wearing it. It used to be halfway down my calf, and then I grew and it was knee length. It had worn out long before I got rid of it. I absolutely loved it.

My blue dress - because I would be fully dressed=)

Try to buy more light colored clothing.

A wrap silk skirt for 90 dollars. I wore it all the time this summer.

The first time I bought clothes at a thrift store and realized how nice the clothing was -- and how much less expensive.

A light colored shirt that fits at the shoulders and the bust.

Not really. I'd like to have more shelves. I have a set of plastic drawers that I dislike.

A jade heart from someone who had little.

I had a linen dress shirt from goodwill that I loved so much that I invisibly repaired. I wore it all summer.

Goodwill and thriftstores all the way baby=)

I prefer not to smell.

I try to dress for the person I want to be.

I've always had enough to not have to be super careful but I have expensive tastes so I'm careful to shop second hand because I can't find natural fibers for an inexpensive price point otherwise.

My glasses

Someone once mentioned that I always looked put together -- and I was surprised. It wasn't how I saw myself, although I like nice clothing so I can skimp on makeup.

When I realized that other girls were wearing pants as part of the school uniform. But I liked dresses so much that I couldn't really conceptualize wearing pants anyway.
