What if you had to choose ONE brand (money no object) to buy clothes from, what would it be? What brand/designer do you think personifies you the best?
In my mind I'm a healthy mix of Anthropologie and J.Crew - colorful and feminine mixed with classic and preppy. I need something that's a combo of the two aesthetics, because limiting myself to one or the other doesn't sit quite right. Anthro can err too much on the side of boho hipster, whereas modern-day J.Crew is very hit or miss when it comes to the classic and preppy.
What’s one thing you’ve purged from your wardrobe you wish you had now?
HA. That implies I've purged things from my wardrobe. Maybe a couple of old skirts? Not because I really miss anything in particular, but more because I'm lacking in good summer-y skirts. Almost all of mine are heavier fabrics, warmer weight, darker colors - perfect for autumn and winter, but not quite what I'm looking for in warm weather.
What’s something you’re hanging on to, but sort of wish you had the courage to let go of?
I guess a few pairs of shoes that I don't like wearing because they're not the most comfortable, but that I can't make myself get rid of because I haven't used them enough. You know how it goes.
If you had to choose 5-10 things from your wardrobe (including shoes & bags) to keep and you had to get rid of everything else, what would you keep?
This is kind of an impossible task purely because of the great divide that exists in my wardrobe - the Everyday vs. the Clinic Appropriate. So I'm going to opt for the former, because listing off a bunch of dress pants and button up tops does not make for a very exciting answer.

I have plenty of purses that I love, but I don't care enough about bags to want to include them here. The real challenge was preventing myself from choosing 10 dresses and leaving it at that, haha.

Prepare yourself - it's supaaaaaaa exciting.
