This-or-That Tuesday, even though it’s really (ssshhhh) Wednesday …
1. What’s your personal clothing style…trendy or classic?
Classic, I guess. Comfort, courtesy, and conformity.
2. Do you shop for designer names or stick with the more generic brands?
I search for stuff that looks decent, wears well, and is inexpensive. I don’t care what the label says, frankly.
Oh, yeah, and it can’t require ironic, either.
3. Work clothes: dressy or casual?
Casual, thank God. I did slacks-and-tie up until maybe two, three years ago, and am glad to be largely quit of it.
4. Days off style: dressy or casual?
Shorts (or jeans), sandals and t-shirt. Or maybe a Hawaiian shirt. Casual.
5. Women: high heels or flats? Men: Wing-tips or work boots?
I refuse to polish shoes any more, so I’ve gone for sueded and other sorts of leather in my work shoes. I prefer loafers (being a lazy cuss).
6. Do you have a large wardrobe, or just a few carefully selected pieces?
Actually, it’s gotten pretty large. Not Margie-sized, but large enough I probably need to do a culling.
7. Do you shop for clothing at stores or from catalogs/internet?
I’ll buy t-shirts on-line, but not much else. I don’t trust the sizing. I tend to buy from stores, preferably from the sale/clearance rack, or from TJ Maxx, Nordie’s Rack, etc.
8. Are most of your clothes dry-clean only or machine-washable?
*snort* The “dry-clean only” ones tend to get a single wearing and then get hung up behind the bedroom door, with the things that need mending.
Which is not a dig at Margie, because I don’t consider it one person’s job or the other to get it done; I just recognize that it doesn’t.
9. You buy an article of clothing and realize it is all wrong for you when you get home. Return or keep it?
Depends on the cost. Though the only time something is “all wrong” for me is when it doesn’t fit.
10. Hats: yes or no?
Until I started close-cropping my hair about a year ago, I could rarely wear hats because of (a) major hat-hair problems, and (b) my skull is 7-7/8 or more, plus hair, and XL hats tend to run 7-1/2 or 7-3/4 tops.
So now I wear hats on occasion — especially if I’ll be out in the sun much. Indeed, I think if you scroll over way to the right, you’ll see one in the B&W pics at the top of the page …
