Real Life Style Icon: Katy of 'Kansas Couture'

This is one of many Real Life Style Icon interviews in which we talk to smart, funny, interesting women who also happen to be super stylish.


Name:
Katy
Age: 26
Location: Kansas City
Online haunts: Blog // Etsy // Twitter // Facebook

Three reasons that you're awesome:
1. I care about quality -- no matter the task, I try to give it my all.
2. I throw a mean themed party.
3. I make really good cookies.


What are you wearing right now, as you type this?
A sweatshirt with a bunny on it, jeans and bare feet. It's a work from home day. :)

What is the last item of clothing you bought?

A pair of tall brown leather vintage boots.

What is the item of clothing you most covet at the moment?A really good quality classic coat like a wool trench coat in camel or a navy peacoat.



Tell us about a favorite childhood memory about your clothes.
Even before I was interested in fashion, I used to meticulously lay out the next day's outfit on the floor next to my bed. Adults got such a kick out of it, but I thought it was completely normal.

What is your best thrifting score?
I go thrifting so often that it's hard to pick one thing! My heart always flutters when I find something really old and in good condition.


Could you tell us your top three style tricks/DIYs?

1. A big, bold necklace can make an average outfit feel special.
2. I always feel more confident when I wear lipstick.
3. Wash your bangs in the sink and use dry shampoo for fresh hair in a pinch. I try to avoid washing mine daily.


Thanks so much for sharing, Katy!
