Blogger Feature: Bekah of Matters of Merrymaking

Hello to my dear Daily Dani readers! I am Bekah of Matters of Merrymaking, my little corner of blogger land where I share my daily style, sarcastic opinions on various topics, and my current favorite margarita flavor! (This week it's raspberry!) My B-BFF (BLOGGER BFF, duh!) Dani and I decided to do a blog swap, and boy... it feels nice and warm here on the West Coast! :)

On today's menu, we have me and Dani styling our similar long tank tops and answering a variety of questions we asked one another. I sense that the suspense is killing you, so here we go:

{Leggings: LB | Shoes: Groove | Top: LB | Cardigan: Old Navy | Clutch: Vintage}

Since Day ONE, I have loved this tank... the print, the cut, the fabric. I rocked it around the clock around Christmas time. You can dress it up or down, and I love that possibility in a top. I've even tucked it in a skirt, like here.

My new shoes are probably my favorite. I wish I could wear them everyday, but I don't think they're super practical for a kindergarten teacher. My mother's friend just gifted me her collection of vintage clutches, including this one. I am so excited about them, they're 70s funky fun!

Here are the questions Miss Dani asked me:

DANI: 3 words to describe your personal style?
BEKAH: Colorful, Eclectic, & Real.

D: You're a big Grizzlies fan - how do you keep your look fashionable but still comfortable and spirited while enjoying a good game?
B: Oh my, good question. I know that girls who wear heels to a sporting event get a bad rep from avid fans. And I admit, I may have done it once or twice. I mean, I AM from the South. However, I am all about team spirit, and I definitely do it in my own way! But no, you won't catch me in tennis shoes.

D: What is your most meaningful item of jewelry?
B: Definitely would be my high school graduation present from my grandmother. It was the most expensive thing that had ever been bought for me, and I will cherish it forever and hopefully one day pass it on to my own daughter, or niece, for her graduation. it is a huge ring made of mother of pearl and metal detailing. Love love it.

D: What is your go-to, never-fail casual outfit? "Formal" outfit?
B: For casual, it is DEFINITELY my rainy day outfits. If I know I need to be comfortable and cool, I go for a boyfriend tee. You can do anything you want to do to it, as far as jewelry or accessories. I love the casual chic look of the turban headband. On the formal side of things, I definitely reach for a dress. I have a vast collection of dresses for all seasons, and the experiment of making them different every time is the best part. If you told me I had to get dressed formally RIGHT NOW, I'd grab my purple pleated dress, Nine West wedges, and a chunky statement necklace.

D:Who are your favorite bloggers, and why?
B:My list is by no means extensive, but more like a list of ladies I love because of the personal, blogging relationships I have built with them... I look forward to checking their blogs everyday! In addition to great style, they all have unique personalities. Be sure to check them out!

D:How do you plan to take your fabulous style from college life into the "real world?" (Assuming you consider 3-year-olds who eat glue the real world, as I do!)
B: I think I will have a few more dress code restrictions, as I am working in a school environment. Less short dresses, more pants. I think it will be a different style journey, and I am excited about it. The good news is that my cardigan obsession is not going anywhere :)

I want to thank the lovely Dani for inviting me to switch blogs with her for today and all of you guys for reading! It has been such a blast! Be sure to check out my blog, Matters of Merrymaking, to see Dani's outfit and MY questions for her.
