how did you get the push to pursue this style journey even though you work full...
I would love to know how you deal with stress? who inspires you the most in life?
hey guys and welcome to my Q&A I decided to do a Q&A in general because I wanted
to be able to celebrate that we reached the halfway point of my year of outfits
challenge for those of you who don't know I'm taking a photo every single day on
Instagram of my outfit of the day and it's been super fun. I've met so many
awesome people and this is just yeah a way to thank you guys for being a part
of it. I am just really happy to do this. there's 22 questions so I'm gonna run
through them pretty quickly but yeah here we go. question number one how would
you describe your interior style? okay I guess you quantify it as bohemian
mid-century modern so it's like mid-century but it's lots of like plants
and mix-and-match pieces not everything is perfectly matching there's actually
quite a few of my antiques from heirlooms stuff I've inherited that I
love so much and even though those ones like aren't in the greatest condition
they means so much more to me than anything so I like to have a lot more
antique furniture if possible and then the bohemian part again is lots of
plants so the minute I started putting plants in my house my whole house just
felt more homey and alive it's also great if you're petite because a lot of
the furniture is low to the ground and if any place should have furniture that
fits you it's your house so that's why I really loved mid-century modern
furniture this piece is actually an old one it's an antique that I got off of
ebay I think yeah it was eBay last year and I just put on a little like wooden
legs on the bottom so that it's got more space it's area so that's just kind of
how I have treated my interior style the question two is really similar how would
you describe your interior style as in how would you decorate where you live
and any tips to make your home more homey yeah again it goes back to plants
I think that is really important to have only what's essential in your house
that's meaningful or beautiful or useful and everything else just we really have
to question if it belongs question three what was the most important thing you've
learned so far at this halfway mark you know I think the most important thing
has been to when you're finding your personal style to just forget what other
people are preaching that like this color red is the most important color to
wear this season forget all that stuff like what's important is what makes
sense for your lifestyle I really have found it helpful to have a color scheme
that I have personally that works best for mixing and matching and that type of
thing that's what I've learned really is true is just to forget all the rules
break anything that might even be a faux pas like everything needs to come into
question just so that you find your personal style question four favorite TV
show this is a really tough call for me because I have loved Outlander for the
past two years but lately stranger things I have been more excited about
watching every episode than even Outlander and I'm on the second season
right now and I don't know what I'm really gonna do when I ran out of
episodes next is what are your favorite bloggers Caroline from Unfancy. I got
to meet her online not really in life but online this past year I actually got
to co-write this one blog post on her blog on fancy which was about your top
10 favorite books for summer and so she let me like find a few picks that I
would give for fiction because I really like to read a lot of fiction books and
then she gave all of her picks for nonfiction books and through that
experience I realized like how genuine she is she also just hit a hundred
thousand on Instagram and honestly nobody deserves it more she is just
amazing number six favorite bands or artists you guys I have to admit to you
how much I have been listening to Elvis lately I think it's ridiculous how
addicted I am to the King like I never have really understood why people are
obsessed with Elvis but now I truly appreciate it for
is now that Halloween has come and gone I'm officially able to announce how much
I'm excited to listen to Christmas Elvis but more of a modern-day musician that I
would like to recommend Rusty Clanton his YouTube channel I'll give you a link
to that in the description below if you haven't heard of him by now but he's got
like an indie rock folk vibe that's really cool and I've been trying to
think of who he reminds me of it's very similar to Sleeping At Last which I've
loved since like 2011 when their album came out but I feel like Rusty's voice
and his lyrics are even better than that in my opinion other than that Christine
is perfect for somebody that I would recommend looking toward for music
because she always has awesome albums and new musicians but she's found some
of them that she knows personally that are just amazing
she has like a whole collection of vinyls and I always look to Christine
for like who I should listen to next I used to be so much more obsessed with
music when I was in high school and in college and to a degree I was snobby
about like who I would listen to but now I feel like if there's a genre of music
that I haven't really tried yet or didn't like it's because I really didn't
understand it yet so I've been trying to understand different genres of music and
appreciate it for what it is like I used to hate 80s music but now I've been
watching Stranger Things so much that now I'm like okay yeah eighties music
it's kind of Awesome number seven do you have any beliefs or
faith Wow you guys how do I even begin to describe briefly I'm a christian and
my friend who I have known since I was like five he is now a pastor in
Nashville and his his church is like what I would consider my home church and
actually he's got a podcast so I'll just give you a link to that but he's yeah
he's just phenomenal speaker so definitely want to recommend that number
eight do you wear a lot of the same things or just mix them up okay when I
first started my year about his challenge I was wearing just basics
and I then branched out into adding more unique elements to my wardrobe so now I
have been mixing and matching a lot like that's what I shop for but I am not as
minimalist as I once was when I started it and what I like to do now is just
find a lot more vintage pieces find a ways to make my style more unique in
that way so yeah my closet is growing it's still not as big as it used to be
last year so that's good but now I really love every single piece and I'm
shopping with more intention number nine who inspires you the most in life you
guys are asking me some really good questions okay my grandmother's would
definitely be who's inspired me the most in life one of my grandma's died when I
was 12 and I still have been told so by so many people like about her character
and I actually got to feed her her last meal so my grandma is so incredibly I
mean she still is very inspiring to me and my other grandmother is also very
inspiring to me I just found out yesterday that her heart is failing
and that's been just really hitting me a lot lately but why she inspires me so
much she raised three of her six kids in a chicken coop like a literal chicken
coop and she called it the shack and from there she ended up working both her
and her husband worked in a shoe factory then from there she wanted to do
something even more meaningful so she ended up doing work in a psychiatric
ward and now she's 92 and she has like over 30 grandkids even a great-great
grandchild and she is just like so full of life still to this day and I if I can
just be like my two grandmother's I will be so happy because like their legacy
is so important to me to carry on and I'm hoping I can call her this afternoon
before she does like more tests on her heart I am really nervous about what
life will be like without her but I love her so much that I just am like yeah who
inspires me is my grandma's one more note about that my grandma that passed
away when I was 12 she actually taught me a lot about art like she was an
amazing artist she taught her kids how to do art she taught me like how to mix
colors when I first was learning before I did lessons or anything and yeah so I
loved her for that she wanted to paint more while she was raising kids and when
asked about that she was just like you know I was painting pictures and to my
children that was what I was doing and so yes I loved my grandmother's both so
much number 10 what is your favorite way to
relax I read books every single night before bed and if I don't get a chance
to read a book that night I just kind of I got a little bit of insomnia from that
so the way that I love to relax is definitely by getting a historical
fiction book and just reading until I fall asleep and then the next night I'm
like where did I leave off again and I usually have to reread the same 20 pages
but you know is what it is I also really love to trail run I never knew how much
trail running could be so much fun until last year when I started doing it and
you know you get so worn out from it too so that's how I would quantify it as
relaxing and even while I'm running it's in the woods you're in nature it's like
solace I don't listen to music or anything I just listen to nature number
11 in what ways have you noticed your personal style evolving through the
course of this challenge I started with basics a lot I think that is really
important when you first start to identify just a few brands that you
really identify with before you start developing more of your personal style
and otherwise you are just wearing somebody else's personal style like when
I first started I wore Elizabeth Suzann almost every single day and then like
that was a really good launching point for me to be able to then go and find
pieces to wear on top and mix in with that number 12 how do you decide which
pieces are essential to add and how do you resist buying when it's not needed
or do you resist okay the answer to this question goes back to the video that I
did at really the beginning of the challenge I'll link you guys to that it
is how would you find your personal style and it's interesting that I did
that video before I started because I really took a lot of the concepts from
my knowledge of design like I've been a designer for 10 years so I know like the
basics of good design and so that's helped me shape all of this and have the
knowledge to move forward so how I resist buying things is I stick to a
color scheme so if I see an awesome marigold yellow what not like it's it's
something that I really might like but I don't buy it because it's not part of my
predetermined color scheme and that helps me mix-and-match it helps me be
able to pull out to close out of the dark can be like yep they match awesome
I'm running out the door otherwise before I did all that it was very hard
to try to mix and match things and have a closet that works together as a whole
so that is why I stick to a color scheme and that's how I'm able to resist a lot
of purchases and that's also how I make purchase decisions is I'm like oh my
gosh that is exactly my color I need to buy it and that's how I know okay
question 13 do you have a backdrop set up to shoot your outfits daily or do you
set up set it up and shoot all the outfits at once
no I take my photo every single day unless I am going on vacation and I
won't have my backdrop with me physically so if I physically can't take
a photo on a day upcoming I'll know that and I will like plan for that and take a
photo in advance and that's actually a really great travel pro tip is take your
photo of every single outfit you plan to bring on your trip
because then you'll know what you're gonna wear each day weather permitting
event permitting and it just helps me plan my outfits for vacation like
nothing else but yeah I think my photo every day question 14 I would love to
know how you deal with stress I personally would love to know how you
guys deal with stress because that is a biggie you know what's one thing I've
been realizing I've been doing is if I feel anxious I will just start humming
and then I feel like so much better because I feel like it's physically
impossible to be stressed while you're humming maybe give it a try next time
question 15 what did you wear on your wedding day and if you could do it all
over again would you wear the same thing absolutely not I would not wear the same
thing I I think that that will be something that would always be a
question in the back of my mind like if I were to get married today what would I
wear I you know I still really loved the classic styles that Zack and I chose we
both had like a black and white theme in our wedding and it was an evening
wedding too so it was beautiful I get all of the bridesmaids were black long
like full-length dresses and I like all those styles by I loved my dress
it was a sweetheart neckline and I loved that I had like a three foot train I
didn't even want to veil but I ended up putting on a full length veil and I
ended up loving that one and I still would probably do that because it was
just amazing now though like our wedding in general knowing us ourselves better
we would just go someplace secluded or maybe exotic and just have immediate
family maybe a few friends you know we had 150 people attend our ceremony and
then we had another ceremony where he's from well not a ceremony we had like a
reception there and it was just a lot of people which was beautiful and awesome
but at the same time it added distraction and I would never say to add
too much distraction to such an important day 16 any tips on
understanding your exact measurements she went on to say I have never quite
sure where to look at sizing charts and how do they look different on
different areas of the body and where they fall exactly and what weather
measuring myself is an appropriate way to get the true results yeah I could
probably do a whole video just about measurements and if you guys want me to
do that I definitely can I'm like just let me know if that would interest you
but there's a few areas that are really important to get right one is if you're
getting pants or like bottoms at all like skirts dresses anything like that
make sure that it falls at an appropriate part of your calf so for me
if I want to look taller I don't get something right under my knee anymore
I've learned that that's like not very good and what I try to do is either get
a full-length one or I will get one above the knee or I'll get one like
right in the middle of my calf so I measure my skirts from the tiniest part
of my waist where I know I want my skirt to be then down to mid calf and that's
how I get that length and then I do the same for dresses so I'll measure from
like the very top part of my shoulder and then I'll measure all the way down I
also think it's really important to measure your waist because there's lots
of times where pants and dresses and skirts like they have been too bulky on
me and then that's okay because you can get them tailored if they're too big but
ultimately it's best if they're a bit more tight and snug yeah that's what I
try to do is get the right measurements of my waist and so that's again like
your tiniest point is where you want to measure for that and then when you're
online shopping it's just something that you would measure against your your true
self see where your body fits into that whole scheme and if you're like right in
between two sizes then I would say to go up a size so then you can get it
tailored depending on the item I hope that helps yeah I think that is
something I could do a whole video about like tutorials and everything with that
17 explain what your perfect day would be like what you do in the morning and
who you'd be with I actually am going to do this I've taken a couple days off in
December to do exactly this like to to have a day off and do what I want to
do let me know also if this would be something you guys be interested in me
vlogging about so I think that I would love to wake up early I love to wake up
early I love to paint I love traditional oil painting and that's what
I love to do so much so I would definitely do that for you know four
hours or so and then I would love to trail run and I love to go to plays so I
would love it if like Zack took me to a play and then I would end my perfect day
reading some books at night these are actually really good questions so if you
guys find any of these questions that you want to answer yourself in the
comments I love to be able to like get to know you better too question 18
what's next I'm loving your year of outfits challenge and I'm hoping that
you'll continue documenting your style in some capacity once the year is up
okay year of outfits challenge will be done April 30th and then after that I
think I'll still just be doing more lifestyle shots so on Instagram I'll be
probably using less backdrops most likely this is just my guess but yeah I
think I'll still be doing lots of like fashion type stuff because I've I have
met so many amazing people through this and I've learned so much and I just want
to continue to spend time with you guys and talk about clothes so that won't be
going away I promise number where am I yes nineteen your
current 5 go to fashion brands and 5 go to fashion designer brands if money was
no object favorite ones Elizabeth Suzann, Nisolo, Everlane, Free
People and J.Crew for the ones that I wish I could afford more of I would say
that Elizabeth Suzann and Jesse Kamm I would buy a lot more from them if money
was no object like I would buy everything from them also
let's see Black Crane amazing there's are a bit pricier Betina Lou I love
them so much and yeah let's say that Oh
I'm gonna throw Chanel in there to 20 how did you get the push to pursue this
style journey through Instagram and YouTube even though you work full-time
outside of it yeah an object in motion stays in motion I guess I think that
it's really fun to be able to have a full time job in tech woo women in tech
honestly like it's fun to be able to pursue my personal style because as a
designer like any job it's really important to be able to have a personal
style but as I've learned through both being a part of hiring processes and
also being hired by companies to I found this super
impoi... impoinent? haha important to be able to express yourself as a first
impression through your personal style so yeah dress for the job you want and
if I dedicate one year of my whole life to finding my style that will just pay
off every single year for the rest of my life I will not regret this at all and I
decided to document it through Instagram and YouTube again it's like the third
time I've said this just in this video but I could not have done it alone
because like anytime I get feedback from you guys anytime you guys tell me about
awesome new brands that have ethics and stuff like it's just so amazing I also
get feedback just by like having comments and likes because that tells me
like is this worth pursuing because right now I'm wearing vintage guys and I
don't want to like I don't know what to say about that but it just really it
helps me to be able to understand how my my personal style is perceived you know
even if I hadn't documented it online definitely it's important to take photos
every single day of what you're wearing because how you think that that hemline
makes you look might not be what you meant to represent yourself like so
that's been super helpful 21 how do you stay motivated to do this every day
since it seems like a lot of work it seems like you're living a true passion
of yours and you're having such an influence
especially because you have a heart for fashion it's really inspiring um I see
motivated because you guys say awesome things like that and when I you know I'm
actually gonna be starting to transition to work from home full-time and to work
from home you could just slum it every day in your pajamas but I am choosing
not to and you guys are definitely holding me accountable with that so
that's really cool but again it's just the the community like you guys are the
best community I think I could have ever been a part of and this has been the
single most rewarding experience that I've ever had
and I truly mean that so yeah you guys are definitely what motivates me 22
you are a UI UX designer how do you balance work and YouTube I really like
out of respect for my company I leave all of my online work stuff off and i
just put my personal online stuff online but how i balance the two I guess I just
get really motivated to be able to be a part of a community like it works on a
different part of your brain I think if I had to only do one thing for like 60
hours a week I would lose my mind but the fact that you guys are there and
just I don't know it's just really fun to be able to do a different type of
different form of art through doing videos and Instagram like yeah I would
say that it's a different thing and even though they're both kind of designing
it's really fun to be able to have a tech job but I also have something
that's more of a hobby in my mind you know being a UI UX designer I am able
to verbally communicate and visually communicate a lot of what I do
but it's for a much different purpose than just having friendships and true
community like I have with you guys and I think that was my last question yeah
so that was question 22 so let me know it what you guys thought about these be
sure if you guys found any of these questions interest
or my answers bazaar you're welcome to just write about it in the comments I
will love to hear about that and thank you guys so much I was a bit insecure
about if I'd even get a question in my comments like wah wah but thanks so much
for 22 comments I'm really like I'm just so awesomely amazed at how great you
guys are so thanks guys and I'll see you guys next week bye
