"Too many shoes? I'm not sure I understand the question..."

[gender.female]
[location.united states]


What’s your advice for someone trying to define their style?


"It's tempting to want to define things because that makes it easy to categorize, but I don't think it's necessary to ‘define’ your style. I wear lots of things that don't necessarily fit into a certain definition (rock chic, femme, etc.), so my advice is to wear whatever you like whenever you like! Having said that, it is helpful to have a clear idea of the type of clothing you tend to be drawn to, so I usually advise people to find images of items they like and look for common themes. Are you attracted to a certain silhouette or color or print? Figure that out and keep those things in mind when shopping or getting dressed.”


Tell us about an ensemble you regret wearing.

"Hmm...I don't really regret wearing any one specific outfit (jams shorts and push-down socks were in style then, okay?), but I usually regret dressing to suit someone else's expectation of the way I should look, or trying to make myself feel better by dressing up--that almost never works.”

Do you ever go out without accessories?

"No! I always wear earrings. I mean always –and a watch. I think the earring thing is due to my mom --she'll change her earrings just to go to bed! The watch is a control issue; I always need to know what time it is, even when I'm running late (approximately 70% of the time).”

What is your personal style philosophy?

"I dress to suit my mood and I always want to feel like what I'm wearing complements and expresses who I am --even if ‘who I am’ evolves and changes regularly. That's my personal style philosophy, too: dress how you feel and you'll always look great!”


How many pairs of shoes do you own?

" I probably own about seventy pairs, including boots and sandals. Too many shoes? I'm not sure I understand the question....”

Anything Else?

"I'm the editor of Style Sample Magazine a magazine by, for, and about fashion bloggers--you should check it out! There's always lots of great information online and in the magazine--fashion, shopping, designers, photography, illustration, blogging advice--I'd love for you to visit!”



Today we will explore one of the signature color combinations in all of fashion –black and white. Earlier we discussed wearing this duo separately here and here, now it’s time to turn our attention to the myriad of style possibilities unleashed as these two classic hues merge.

In her first look, our lovely nista takes this ultra hot color combo to the next level. Sporting an elegant cream mini dress with contrasting ebony over the knee socks, she’s sure to register on the style radar. Forget those thigh high boots; as this nista shows, towering socks are where it’s at. She rounds out this contrasting color outfit with several chic, multihued accessories. The voluminous coffee shawl draped around her décolleté makes a dramatic sartorial statement, while those adorable cognac ankle strap heels leave an especially memorable impression. Finalizing this get up, the super trendy striped belt effortlessly cinches her waist and the espresso clutch is just right for a romantic evening with the beau.

Our beautiful nista’s second pick proves exclusively wearing this opposing color couple above the waist still gives oodles of panache. Her vertical striped black and white tank is a great addition to any wardrobe. Wear it for an understated look on a muggy day like this nista or vogue it out in fabulous layers on a crisp autumn morning. Merging the banded shirt with a dazzling high waisted flower-patterned skirt is sure to make any woman feel extra glamorous. Completing this ensemble, we spy strappy black heels –fashionable for any occasion and a sensational oversized belt, which looks right day or night.

In her final ensemble, this nista demonstrates black and white make a powerful visual statement. Sporting a cropped ivory blazer equip with exaggerated shoulders reminiscent of another era, she tempers it with an urbane pair of sable pencil pants. Continuing the theme of contrast echoed throughout this look, the slim fitting trousers beautifully offset her inflated upper sleeves; as the slender two-tone belt not only adds definition to her figure, but also reinforces the devastatingly sharp color scheme. Topping everything off with a pair of snakeskin stilettos, this winning combination will seamlessly take her from the desk to dinner.

Oh the reasons that I love this post. She helped decide to stop trying to put a label on my style. Thanks chic!!!

Reason 2: the white jecket gave me the perfect idea of how I need to reconstruct something that I have been thinking on for quite some time. Thanks chic!!!

Reason 3: I love the classic silhouettes that she displays in her style. Kisses

And thanks for doing this post. We, the people, needed it. At least I did.

i absolutely love the floral skirt!

Annnd.. I do love pairing black and white but only when the peices are very solid and structured like the outfit above.

Im not a huge fan of 'flowy' peices in black and white. Im not sure why :S

I seldom leave a response, however after reading some of the comments on ""Too many shoes?
I'm not sure I understand the question..."". I actually do have a few questions for you if it's okay.
Could it be only me or does it look as if like a few of the responses come across as
if they are written by brain dead individuals? :-P And, if you are posting on
other places, I would like to follow anything fresh you have to post.
Would you make a list of all of all your social community sites like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?

However, the number of apps is steadily rising, and if Nokia

Tag Cloud. This means you tend to be copying it through file sharing websites like rapidshare, megaupload, hotfile,

Essentially, it is usually drastically more affordable in the event you exchange the actual battery oneself,
as opposed to finding a storage area to get it done. Hold your
device on end to locate two small screws on either side
of the dock. Both Intel and AMD contain information built in the processor to allow the
processor to be used efficiently with mobile computing saving on battery life while giving the best performance.

There are many free online games readily available for young kids,
teens, as well as grown ups. If you don’t have much skill in programming, but
still think that creating and developing games is the most
suitable for you, there are special courses that will give you training in graphic designing, game development, and computer
animation. It can go as far as ruining their experience since it is the last interaction they have with a game.
