What accessories do you wear every day? I almost always wear a necklace, bracelet, ring, and earrings. I think that my face looks odd without earrings. It does to me, anyway.
What was the last item of clothing (for yourself) that you purchased? I bought several things from Chadwick's. I was delighted to find some skirts that were 39 inches long. My favorite length! (unless I could find a 40-inch. That would be perfect!)
Do you use a dresser, closet, or both? I mostly use the closet, but there are some things that I put in drawers. I just recently began keeping sweaters in drawers instead of in the closet. But I am having trouble keeping them from getting wrinkled. If you have any suggestions, they would be welcome!
What type of earrings are in your ears right now? Red dangly teardrops.
What type of figure do you have? I am tall and on the thin side. I am working toward getting closer to the thin side!
Do you wear glasses? Only when my contacts are hurting me. I would much rather wear contacts.
What type of handbag do you carry? I have a little black purse, and I carry a black bag for my work supplies.
What is your ideal style? I love anything really classic. I do not follow trends, except for the fact that I try not to be actually out of style. I like things that go with many other pieces in my wardrobe. Therefore, I tend to go for solids and basic colors, and it does get a bit monotonous sometimes. Oh well. It works for me.
What jewelry are you wearing right now? The red earrings described above, a gold heart necklace with red stones, a bracelet with red stones, and a ring.
Do you wear knee-hi stockings? NEVER. I think that they are so tacky. I hate it when I can see the top of someone's knee-hi. Gross.
Do you wear makeup? If yes, what products do you use? A little. I use Clinique foundation and a variety of cheap brands for other stuff.
What outerwear do you put on when going out on a typical winters day? I usually don't need very much where I live. But I do have some light coats, and I wear gloves, a hat, and a scarf if it's really cold.
What is your favorite perfume? I still haven't committed to that one yet. I do like perfume, but I know too many people who are allergic to it -- I don't want to make them sneeze. Therefore, I haven't had much opportunity to experiment with it.
Is your motto "quality over quantity" when it comes to clothing and accessories? Definitely. I would rather have a small wardrobe of things that actually look good on me (and good together!) than a closet full of clothes I don't really like. People are going to notice what you look like today, not admire how long it's been since you've worn something.
Do you wear rain boots? No. Where I live, the rain comes too unexpectedly to plan that far ahead!
Do you wear socks or slippers when your feet get cold? Yes. :)
Do you have a set of travel luggage? Yes.
What is your daily uniform? I usually wear a suit to teach in.
If you are married, did you wear a veil with your wedding dress? Not married. But if I ever did get married (wishful thinking) I would wear a veil.
Do you wear a watch? Absolutely. In fact, I left it behind yesterday and could barely concentrate until I was wearing it again.
What item of clothing always makes you feel eXtremely beautiful? I would pay good money for an item of clothing like that! :)
Do you prefer zippers or buttons? I guess it depends on where they are.
What is your favorite type of yarn? I like thick, fuzzy yarn to knit with. However, right now I am knitting with three different pieces of thin yarn together. I like the way it's turning out.

I totally loved your comment on knee-hi stockings! It make me crack up:)
Well, it's true! :)
After I posted this, I had a funny dream about this. :)
I thought you knitted. how did you first learn?
A friend just taught me the basics last week, and I'm mid-scarf right now. Having fun. :)
I think I got a video from the library one time when I was in elementary school. There was also a book that I learned from.
I really only make scarves, although I have made a hat as well. I enjoy knitting because I can just keep going without much thought when I'm just going row after row to make a scarf. It's relaxing. I think that I would lose patience with it if I had to count everything to make something more complicated.
The scarf I'm making right now is for a friend who is going to move to Canada soon. I found three yarns that are different natural fibers (cotton, wool) so that it would be really warm for her.
Have fun with your scarf! I hope you enjoy making it and wearing it. It is fun to wear a scarf that you made yourself.
I, too think that knee-hi's are tacky. Unfortunately, due to a serious break in my ankle, the lasting effect is an ankle that will swell by the end of the day. Enter compression stockings. I must wear them in all types of weather. Sigh. I chose knee-hi stockings over the other two options. In addition to comfort, they are also less expensive. Sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do. I am just grateful to the Lord that in our time and culture that there is an option.
Gigi, I would definitely say that you have an exception to my knee-hi standard. :)
I don't have a problem with them really unless you can see the tops of them, which you are probably careful about. What particularly bugs me about them is when the top shows under the skirt or through the slit.
They are a good way to save some money, though.
