Please welcome my fellow So Cal blogger Meg from henning love to The Daily Dani!
Happy Monday, the daily dani readers! I loved Dani's idea of a Q&A guest post when she asked me if I was interested. Of course I had to say yes to my sweet friend who I am still really hoping we meet soon, ehm, Dani ;-) For this Q&A, we are talking about Dani's favorite thing, fashion. I mean, she posts all her cute outfits and takes the latest trends and wears them in a way, for me, at least, that doesn't make the trend seem scary to try or too trendy in general.
Onto the questions!
3 words to describe your personal style?
Hm... three words to describe my personal style, it would be versatility, classic and fun. I work full-time and I like to buy pieces that can be worn at work, I work in an office but fortunately I don't have to wear a suit, but I also want to wear them on the weekends. I said classic because for me I like to have pieces that can be worn easily from season to season. I don't want to buy a new wardrobe each season. Having the classics, a white shirt, pencil skirt to name a few helps me stick to what I know while trying on new styles from the seasons. Lastly, I said fun but I like to be playful with my outfits, I like to look cute and I don't want to be stiff looking in my outfits either. Plus when I am wearing a fun outfit, my attitude overall becomes more fun!
Who are your celebrity style icons?
My celebrity style icons are definitely Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon. I like Jennifer Aniston for the simplicity of her outfits, nothing too flashy or showy but they are classic. Reese because she is blonde like me, oh so adorable and her outfits are easily to re-create with pieces I already own without the high designer price tag! Both of those ladies are just gorgeous too!

Where do you find inspiration for your outfits?
If you asked me this question prior to being on Pinterest, I might have to think a bit more about my answer. But since I do have a Pinterest account, that is my number 1 inspiration for my outfits. Sometimes on my blog, I do a post that I call Pinspiration, I post the outfit I found on Pinterest and then I post a photo of me wearing the outfit I recreated. Other than that, I get my inspiration from clothing retailers and some of their looks. I try and use pieces I already own to re-create that look before I buy.
How does living in Southern California influence your style?
Most definitely since we are in California and more laid back in our style, my outfits reflect that laid back style, although still put together. You won't catch me in a mini jean skirt and Ugg boots and always wearing my yoga pants but because we live in Southern California, my outfits are definitely more laid back, relaxed but still versatile, classic and fun!
I splurge on ____ and save on ____
What I splurge on most right now it is Essie nail polish colors, love them, love them!! I also like to splurge on jewelry pieces, a new ring, a new necklace or new bracelet. For saving, I would prefer to own a great looking pair of jeans, or a new top at Anthropologie but not everything in my closet can be Anthropologie so shopping there is far and few, although you can find some Anthropologie items on Ebay. I justify adding more Anthropologie pieces to my outfit if I outbid everyone else on Ebay.
I feel most myself when I’m wearing:
When I have a pair of jeans, my boots, and a fun top that is when I most feel myself. I know I look cute, I feel like wearing that outfits says this is who Meg is. If I am not wearing my boots because the weather is too hot, I like to exchange my boots for a pair of flats and that still feels like I'm me. I have never ben a high heel wearer, tons of make-up, tons of accessories wearer, so put me in a simple outfit of jeans, boots or flats and a cute top and I am me all the way!
Just a few outfits I love that I created on polyvore that mos represent me are:

If I am wearing either of those outfits, I am a happy camper, I feel cute, I look cute and I feel like me.
