Fashion meme
1. Have you ever done something awful to your hair? What happened?
For a while I had hair that resembled a triangle. It was frizzy and grew out away from my head in a funny shape. In high school, I had longer hair that I wore in a pony tail every day.
2. Conversely, at what time in your life have you looked your best?
I'm going to embrace positive thinking and say, right now. It's a little harder to find clothes, though, since I gained about 2 dress sizes in the last three years. I like clothes and I like thrifting, but the plus-size game can be dispiriting.
3. Do you have a favorite article of clothing? Tell us what and why.
I have a collection of jackets, probably around 20. Photos of them here:

Current favorites are the long black elf coat, and the read leather ones.
I also love my Norwegian sweater and a paisley button-down shirt that looks sort of dandy.
4. Confess the worst fashion trend you ever succumbed to.
Maybe the side ponytail. I was a child though and could get away with it. In college I wore sweater-vests over button-downs until I realized I was wearing the exact same kinds of clothes as my English and chemistry professors, which was honestly fine but I was embarassed about it at the time.
5. Are there any clothing/fashion trends today that you simply don't understand?
I don't go for high femme things like lace, bows, high heels, makeup, etc.

I don't tend to go for high femme in everything; I hate lace, bows, and heels, but I go over the moon for tailored eShakti skirts with that 1950s feel, and the brighter, louder my eyeshadow is the more it seems to intimidate a certain type of person...and I love it. :) I think my personal aesthetic can be described as "mid-century modern Hogwarts Professor."
