Style file

I recently signed up for an in-home clothing/style consultation as part of one of those 50% off Groupon-type deals. This is incredibly exciting to me as I've been wanting to do something like this for ages, but just couldn't justify the expense. Anyway, I decided to write down a list of style likes and dislikes to maximize my 90-minute appointment. No use spending time telling them No Thanks on peasant skirts and wedges...but I'm getting ahead of myself.

LIKES
wool plaid skirts (above knee, esp with tights and boots)
wool in general
boots, boots, boots
wingtip inspired footwear (e.g. platform heels)
leather (esp camel-color)
argyle!
stripes
wrap shirts and dresses
minimal jewelry
New England prep (sometimes meets British punk)
neutrals, orange, blue, red, yellow
jackets and cardigans
tailored shapes
jeans
v-neck
t-shirts under jackets and cardigans
patent leather
mary janes
stylish shoes okay for longer walks
penny loafers

PARTICULAR ABOUT
prints (graphic preferred, some floral okay)

DISLIKE
skirts cut on a bias
peasants skirts
most purple, many pinks, many greens, most pastels
wedge heels
flowy
hippyish
bedazzled
crew neck
elastic hem/hip shirts
many florals
overt polyester
Uggs except as slippers
hoodies except to the gym
patchwork leather
matchy-matchy
heart-shapes

I'm happy to say that stylish people would agree with most items on your dislike list. Do report back! That sounds really cool!

I regret buying my daughter purple Uggs... and a purple coat. What was I thinking? Post once you are done with your consultation. Exciting!
