The lovely Linley of Dwelling & Telling has been kind enough to do a little Q&A with me! I've been a huge fan since before I entered the blogging world, so I am super excited!
3 words to describe your personal style?
That's a tough one, but I'll try: casual, versatile, and pulled together (I always try my best to appear pulled together!)
What would you consider the 5 essential items to a fashionable wardrobe?
I would say whatever five items make you feel your best! I don't think there are certain items any woman must have for a fashionable or "complete" wardrobe. The best thing about style, to me, is that everyone's is different - so your five items and my five could be polar opposites. For me, my five items would include: a dark-wash, well-fitting pair of skinny jeans, a tailored, crisp white button up, a versatile dress (one that's fitting and can easily be dressed up/down), a fun pair of shoes, and a statement necklace. I consider essential items to be classic items that I can dress up or dress down. I always keep versatility on my mind when it comes to pieces and looks.

What is your favorite/most versatile accessory?
I love accessories! They can make a simple (or even dull) outfit come alive in a split second! My favorite/most versatile accessory would be a statement necklace. I often use a necklace when my outfit is simple and needs some help. A statement necklace is a perfect way for me to bring in contrasting colors or to take attention away from a less-than-par outfit (we all have those days...).

What is your go-to, never-fail casual outfit? "Formal" outfit?
My casual, go-to look for summer is a pair of fitted, dark wash denim shorts with a boyfriend tee. It's simple by itself, but I can easily throw on a pendant necklace and nice sandals to wear it out and about. My go-to formal look is a pencil skirt with a tucked-in, loose-fitting racer back tank. There are so many versatile color combos for this look, but the silhouette is always the same - classic and flattering!
Fashionably, what tv shows and movies have inspired you most?
Although I am a bit hesitant to admit this, I love watching reality shows like The Hills, The City, and ANTM for fashion inspiration and new ideas. Those ladies are all close to my age and always put together looks I can appreciate and get inspiration from.
Congrats on your new job! How do you to take your fabulous style into the "real world," finding a balance between fashion and professionalism?
Thank you! Well... I wish I had the opportunity to share my style with the real world, but my real world consists of scrubs. I work in a hospital as a speech therapist; unfortunately, there isn't much personal style when it comes to scrubs. If/when I have a job outside of healthcare (like in a school system) then I would make sure to find my perfect balance between personal style, professionalism, and comfort!
Please make sure you pay Linley a visit over at Dwelling & Telling to see more of her absolutely fabulous style! Thanks, girl!
