ringsandcoffee1) What is the most outrageous style you've ever rocked?
Ha, none. I was mostly awkward until well into college. I did try to copy Ginnifer Goodwin's short hairdo a couple of years ago, but she wears it better.
2) As a teen, were you an emo, goth, punk, grunger, or prep?
Prep, if I had to choose a category.
3) Have you ever had a crazy hairstyle/colour?
No. In college I wanted to try green hair, but by that point I was interning in classrooms where colored hair would be frowned upon. I am now (hopefully) going into a very casual work environment that would not care about crazy hair color. However, I kind of raise my eyebrows at adults with rainbow shades of hair. Maybe I can just do a streak of color.
4) Do you think we ever really grow out of our teen selves?
98% yes. I still have a few hang-ups.
5) Is there any fashion style you wish you could wear but maybe don't have the confidence?
Well, I wear leggings in public and don't care. However, I sort of wish I had the whimsy of my old roommate who throws outfits together that aren't always great, but she has the carefree attitude to pull it off. My problem is not confidence, but practicality. I wish I could wear tops that have bare shoulders (halter neck, thin straps, etc) but then my bra straps would show. Sometimes, the sides of the cups also show. Le sigh.
