Questions :)
Today I can only seem to think of "light" questions...
1. What is one article of clothing you own that gets the most wear?
2. What is one beauty product you love, and would recommend to others?
3. How much time do you spend on your hair on the average day?
4. How much time do you spend on makeup?
5. What kind of person are you when it comes to accessories? (Do you pick several accessories based on your outfit, do you wear the same jewelry/belt/shoes/etc almost every day, etc?)

Re: Questions :)
Lately it's my darker-rinse NY&Co skinny jeans. They fit me well, are comfy, and look good with a lot of different tops, shoes, etc.
2. What is one beauty product you love, and would recommend to others?
I love Cat Walk Curl Rock cream. If you have curly hair, you should try it! It doesn't make your hair crunchy and dry like some products, and doesn't give you the wet look either. Just soft, natural curls. I also love Mary Kay Lash Love mascara. Don't wear it every day, but if I'm getting dressed up, I think this mascara is the best. I always get compliments when I wear it.
3. How much time do you spend on your hair on the average day?
Ummm...2-5 minutes? I just comb and part it, and then add Curls Rock, and scrunch. On weekends I often straighten my hair, which requires about 20-25 minutes of blow drying, and then another 20 minutes of the flat iron. And then another 5 or so minutes of trying to tame al lthe frizzies and flyaways!
4. How much time do you spend on makeup?
Typically just maybe 1-2 minutes. I only wear powder, and maybe blush, most days. I'll spend longer for holidays, a night out, a nice event, etc., but I'm really minimalist when it comes to makeup.
5. What kind of person are you when it comes to accessories? (Do you pick several accessories based on your outfit, do you wear the same jewelry/belt/shoes/etc almost every day, etc?)
I pretty much just wear my engagement ring (and will wear my wedding band once it's fixed). No earrings or bracelets or necklaces. I don't switch purses for outfits. I own like, one belt. I wish I was good at accessorizing, but I just don't have many accessories, and never seem to be able to pick them out. I also just usually think they're overpriced and would rather buy clothes. But my new goal is to try to accessorize a little more, since I really do think it can make you look really nice and just more put together.

1. What is one article of clothing you own that gets the most wear? Besides my jeans, I have a grey cardigan/flowy sweater thing that seems to be in the wash every time I do laundry.
2. What is one beauty product you love, and would recommend to others? It's not a specific product, but I think everyone should have a lipgloss that they love and can put on easily. For me, it makes me feel pulled-together and feminine without the harshness of lipstick, even when I'm running out the door in spit-up on jeans and a ponytail.
3. How much time do you spend on your hair on the average day? This varies wildly based on what I'm doing and whether it is a hair-washing day (I only wash it every other day). Anywhere from 2-30 minutes depending on all those factors.
4. How much time do you spend on makeup? I'd say 5ish minutes. I wear mineral powder, blush, eyeliner and mascara daily. I add a smidge of eyeshadow if I'm going somewhere like lunch or to a friend's house. I always put on lipgloss before I leave the house (see above).
5. What kind of person are you when it comes to accessories? (Do you pick several accessories based on your outfit, do you wear the same jewelry/belt/shoes/etc almost every day, etc?) Most days, I'm pretty boring. I wear either a cross or my miraculous medal most every day unless there is a specific reason not to, -- usually when I'm dressing up. I wear one of several pairs (studs) of earrings pretty much every day. I am really into belts right now, but they are hard with BFing, so I go back and forth with actually wearing them. This time of year, I have two pairs of boots that are pretty much in constant rotation. I'm the say way in the middle of summer (but with sandals). For the bulk of the year, when we have mild weather, I have tooooons of flats, and I love to find just the right pair for what I'm wearing. I'm totally a ballet flats and cardigans girl.
For workdays, probably my pair of black dress pants from Express. Outside of work, my American Eagle skinny kick jeans
2. What is one beauty product you love, and would recommend to others?
I really like the Covergirl Shadowblast eye shadow - cream eyeshadow in a tube with a sponge applicator. It's one of the only ones I've found that doesn't crease
3. How much time do you spend on your hair on the average day?
Probably about 10 minutes. I always shower at night, so I at least skip the time blowdrying. If I'm straightening/curling it it will take a bit longer, but most days I throw it up in some sort of bun/updo that I saw on Pinterest
4. How much time do you spend on makeup?
Again, probably about 10 minutes. I don't go overboard, but always a mineral powder foundation, concealer as needed, eyeliner and mascara for during the day. For nighttime or going out, I pile on the eye makeup a bit more.
5. What kind of person are you when it comes to accessories? (Do you pick several accessories based on your outfit, do you wear the same jewelry/belt/shoes/etc almost every day, etc?)
I try to accessorize every day, but usually end up wearing the same things. I have my "go-to" silver necklace that goes with almost everything. I like the look of belts, and try to incorporate those in my outfits but not super-frequently. I do tend to wear the same shoes a lot, mostly heels. Can't go wrong with a basic black or nude pump!
My Jacket / Sweaters
2. What is one beauty product you love, and would recommend to others?
Snail Slime Cream - I know it sounds gross but my skin is so soft after using this daily.
3. How much time do you spend on your hair on the average day?
10 Min.
4. How much time do you spend on makeup?
15 Min. - Foundation, Powder, Blush, Eyeliner, Mascarar, Lip Liner, Gloss
5. What kind of person are you when it comes to accessories? (Do you pick several accessories based on your outfit, do you wear the same jewelry/belt/shoes/etc almost every day, etc?)
Earrings, shoes.
Purses, i love but am too lazy to change every few days. I change them like every few months.
2. What is one beauty product you love, and would recommend to others? I love my Garnier moisturizers (day and night).
3. How much time do you spend on your hair on the average day? Honestly, maybe 2 minutes. (If you don't include blowdrying it, and sometimes I don't even do that).
4. How much time do you spend on makeup? Most days I don't bother; I sit in an office by myself most days during the week. But, when I do, less than 5 minutes.
5. What kind of person are you when it comes to accessories? (Do you pick several accessories based on your outfit, do you wear the same jewelry/belt/shoes/etc almost every day, etc?) I don't accessorize during the week, because it's against our "dress code". I wear my engagement ring daily and that's it. When I'm off work or going out, I'll throw on a bracelt (I make most of them myself) or a necklace and some earrings. My favorite accessory is shoes... I have at least 50+ pairs.
2. What is one beauty product you love, and would recommend to others? not really into beauty products
3. How much time do you spend on your hair on the average day? 2 minutes to comb it or pull it up
4. How much time do you spend on makeup? 30 seconds to put on mascara
5. What kind of person are you when it comes to accessories? (Do you pick several accessories based on your outfit, do you wear the same jewelry/belt/shoes/etc almost every day, etc?) i have a fave necklace and try to change earrings out. i dont wear bracelets or rings other than my wedding band. i dont do scarves either.
- While they were still wearable, my nude patent pumps. They took me through my internship in college, hiking up the hills and back down the hill to class, on nights out, through my interviews, dates with my bf and my first few months of work. Now they lost the tap on the heel, so I'm standing on a nail head, and the sides are beginning to rip from being so well worn.
2. What is one beauty product you love, and would recommend to others?
- Hmmm. I have a lot. I would have to reccomend any of the stains by Benefit. I have the original Benetint and Posietint. They're super-awesome multi-taskers and they last forever, so if yo can get them in a "giftset" as minis, you can try them out yourself without the guilt.
3. How much time do you spend on your hair on the average day?
- Anywhere from 5-30 minutes. It all depends on how I want to do it, if it's wet, if I'm going out, if it's dirty/oily, and if I have time. I'm the daughter of a hairdresser, so I'm always styling it in different ways.
4. How much time do you spend on makeup?
- 5-30 again. On an average work day, in the 10 minute range normally if I feel like doing eyeshadow.
5. What kind of person are you when it comes to accessories? (Do you pick several accessories based on your outfit, do you wear the same jewelry/belt/shoes/etc almost every day, etc?)
- I have a necklace, two rings (promise ring from boyfriend and sweet 16 ring from mom) and a new pair of diamond studs from my boyfriend. I wear them every day (especially the rings!) and rarely take anything off. I'll change my front-hole earrings occasionally (I have 2 holes/ear) but that's about it. I have a crap-ton of scarves, so I change them up a lot. I have the same belt, but that's because I only have one
My North Face
2. What is one beauty product you love, and would recommend to others?
Shea butter! I discovered raw shea butter over the summer and it is the best moisturizer I have ever had.
3. How much time do you spend on your hair on the average day?
Like 2 minutes. I wash it in the morning, then brush it a few times through out the day.
4. How much time do you spend on makeup?
None. I don't wear makeup on a daily basis. When I do put make up on, it takes me probably 5-10 minutes (just foundation and mascara). I'm like Professor, I only wear make up when I need to look my age and not like a high school student.
5. What kind of person are you when it comes to accessories? (Do you pick several accessories based on your outfit, do you wear the same jewelry/belt/shoes/etc almost every day, etc?)
I wear my E-ring, the promise ring FI made me (ugh, that sounds so high school), and the earings me made me for one of my birthdays every day. Then I have 3 necklaces I choose between based on the shirt I'm wearing. I wear the same shoes almost every day.
[QUOTE]Erin, have you found black skinny pants yet?
Posted by Resa77[/QUOTE]
No! I haven't looked a TON though. There were some that I liked at American Eagle, but they were black jeans and looked a little faded, which isn't quite what I wanted. Another pair at Macy's fit well, but the material was really thin so they seemed a lot more like leggings and not really pants. I plan to go out to the mall this weekend, and have high hopes! There's a few pairs at Express and GAP that I've seen online that seem promising....

2. What is one beauty product you love, and would recommend to others? I just started using DDF Wrinkle Resistant Pore Minimizer Moisturizer (that's close to what it's called). I did start noticing that my pores were getting smaller after a few uses and it feels sheer. I sometimes use other moisturizer on top of it, though.
3. How much time do you spend on your hair on the average day? After washing it, I spend almost an hour on it.
4. How much time do you spend on makeup? No idea. I subscribe to Birchbox (let me know if you want an invite to sign up) and get samples every month of make up and other beauty supplies, but I otherwise stick to eye liner and mascara.
5. What kind of person are you when it comes to accessories? (Do you pick several accessories based on your outfit, do you wear the same jewelry/belt/shoes/etc almost every day, etc?) I generally wear the same belt if I'm wearing jeans, but I'll switch it up for other outfits. I have silver and gold hoops that are my go-to for earrings depending on what colors I'm wearing that day. Then I'll throw on a coordinating necklace. This time of year, I wear a lot of scarves instead of necklaces.
I am loving some of the recommendations from you ladies! That lace front cardi is AWESOME! I have one from Target, but it's black on black, and it's a smaller, less obvious lace, so the effect is different.
[QUOTE]I always have so much admiration for people who get up early enough to do things in the morning. Like, spending more than 10 minutes on hair, taking time to accesorize, exercise, etc. I am loving some of the recommendations from you ladies!

<div>Yessss mine is black on black, that's a much more eloquent way of wording it. Also the sleeves are actually a dark gray.</div><div>
</div><div>I really miss Target. There's one in Manhattan but it's not worth the commute for me. I really miss their clothes though. Maybe I'll treat myself to some spring dresses when it gets warmer :)</div>
