Three reasons that you're awesome: 

I eat chocolate covered peanuts mostly daily, I can hula hoop forever, and I've been told I have a really calming voice.

What are you wearing right now, as you type this? 

A white tee with red polka dots and a lace collar tucked into skinny jeans!

What is the last item of clothing you bought?

A simple white canvas bag with a huge smiley face on it :)

What is the item of clothing you most covet at the moment?

Right now, glitter booties. Lately, I've been thinking I need to start getting more daring with my style.

Tell us about a favorite childhood memory about your clothes.

Unfortunately, my childhood memories are quite vague. All I remember are my awesome peach jelly sandals and occasionally being dressed up in the same outfit as my older sister.

What is your best thrifting score? 

I found these great gold oxfords at a thrift store in Silverlake, CA that I used to wear quite often... until I realized that as awesome as the shoes were, they were a tad too big on me. I gave them away to a good friend before I moved!

Could you tell us your top three style tricks/DIYs?
1. If your hair is dirty, wearing a scarf around your head does wonders!

2. Red lipstick really makes a difference!
3. If you're short like me, work those heels! They lengthen your legs and improve your posture.

Thanks so much for sharing, Kristine!
