Fashion Tag!!

I hardly ever do tag videos, but this one seemed really fun!  It’s the “Fashion Tag” that’s floating around youtube. You can see my disorganized closet…lol.   Nicola was a sweetheart and filmed it for me- we had fun doing this together for you all :)

Question #1 – How would you describe your style?

Not sure I have one? haha!  I like to wear classic pieces like jeans and heels with a nice top- what style would that be?? Help a girl out ;)

Question #2 – What are your wardrobe staples?

(this picture was taken in Paris- I swear I bought 5 jackets while there. This tan one was from Zara)

Heels. My favorite ones are by Jessica Simpson and they are leapord slingbacks. I found them on Amazon if your local Macy’s doesn’t have them:  Leopard Heels

I also have several jackets as they flatter my shape more.  Anything structured that tapers in at the waist fits me the best, so I buy TONS of jackets ;)

Question #3 - What is the most expensive item in your closet?

My Michael Kors Chain Ring Tote. You can find this on sale right now at  http://piperlime.gap.com/browse/categorySearch.do?cid=71290  or from Amazon.

Question #4 – What is your most wanted item?

Coral pumps. I have looked everywhere so if you all know of anywhere please comment and let me know! I’ve seen so many cute outfits on Pinterest with coral pumps, so I’m determined to find some ;)

Question #5 – Who is your favorite designer?

I really don’t buy a lot of designer clothes except for the Michael Kors purse and Jessica Simpson shoes.

Question #6 – Would you mind telling us how much you spend on clothes?

About $300 a month depending on how my weight loss is going. Sometimes I need to buy things that fit a bit better.  I’m sure this amount is high, but you have to realize that over the last 2 years, I’ve lost my entire wardrobe.  It’s been a process building it back up with clothes that fit.

Question #7 – What are your favorite places to shop?

Right now I love Styles as they have a wide variety of clothes for a great price. If there isn’t one close to you, you can shop online at www.stylesforless.com.

I also love Charlotte Russe for my accessories and shoes- you can shop there at www.charlotterusse.com.

Express for camisoles, tops and jewelry- you can shop online here:  www.express.com

And my jeans I get from www.macys.com - the brand that fits my curvy shape is “Not Your Daughter’s Jeans”

Question #8 – What is your favorite fragrance?

True Religion Hippie Chic. I love this light and fruity scent as it smells fresh and sweet without being overpowering.  It makes for a great everyday scent! This sells for about $59.00  on www.truereligionbrandjeans.com or at Macys.  But you can find it cheaper on Amazon  (I lurve Amazon!)

Question #9 – What is your favorite way to do your hair?

Because my hair is straight and fine, I curl it often or add some waves to it for some extra volume.  I will take a 1 1/2 inch curling iron and just slightly curl my hair to create soft waves that add volume.

Question #10 – What is your go to outfit when you have no idea what to wear?

It’s this maxi skirt, white cami, and denim vest combo.  It’s so comfy and easy to put together when I’m in a hurry. I got the cami from Express, the skirt and vest from Styles, and belt from Target.

Question #11 – Show us your most prized possession in your wardrobe.

I actually have 2 of them- the first is a necklace and bracelet my father gave me for my 21st birthday.  It is by far the most treasured possession that I have as it reminds me of my dad.  I also love Jessica Simpson leopard shoes, because they’re cute and comfy :)

 

Now it’s your turn! Make sure to leave your own tag answers in the comments so I can see what you all are wearing and so I can get great ideas from you all as well. I hope this was fun and something a little different.

Have a fantastic week!!
XOXO,
Marlena

    Hi Marlena, sort of a crazy question but….do you wear a bra under your cami’s? I find the ones with the built in shelf bras are not enough support. Great video and outfits!!
