Hi! Your service looks really interesting. I've been looking for a new look but failing, so a pair of fresh eyes is perfect! I'll try and answer your questions well enough to help give you an idea of me, feel free to ask for clarification.

My favorite colors are mint green, pink, white, and turquoise. I don't like yellow, neons, red, or magenta. Pastels are always a plus, but I can rock deep cool jewel colors as well. As for a dark neutral... brown. I wear black for work, so I'm trying to escape it.

My current music obsession is Lady Gaga, her stuff gets me so energized. I'm also a fan of Emilie Autumn, Lostprophets, Ayumi Hamasaki, Yuki Kajiura, and... well, lots. I like a lot of rock and pop artists.

My age... whoo boy. Well, I'm in my early twenties. So in terms of look... I don't want to look like a teenager, but not like a thirty-something either. Jeans are totally cool, I just don't want to pair them with a t-shirt anymore.

I'm afraid I am rather reluctant to give a stranger my photo, so here's as good as a description as I can give: I'm 5'5", with pale skin (though my cheeks are rather rosy... I look better in cool colors than warm). My hair is a warm medium-dark brown, with red highlights. I weigh about 130 pounds, though I think this has gone up a few since I last stepped on a scale. I've got wide shoulders and hips, and a narrow waist.

As for other things... well, like I said, I dress in all black for work, so I'm looking for a colorful wardrobe for the rest of the time, something fun and feminine. I like close-toed heeled shoes, though I need to be able to walk to the bus in them, and hopefully they should go with a lot of things. icon_smile.gif I'm a low-maintenance type of gal, so I like having just a pair or two of go-to shoes.

The weather here is turning colder, it's about 50 degrees Fahrenheit during the day now (and should hold steady, going down to 40 when winter's at its worst), with lots of rain but no snow. I have an awesome rain jacket and boots already though, so no need to worry about those. But a wardrobe heavy in tank tops and miniskirts just wouldn't work here, I'd be too cold even with those items.


First of all, I would like to thank you for your good description. Usually when I don't get a picture the description is lacking and then i'm like "umm.... wut". But this is a very detailed one. My inspiration while searching for clothes for this one was Lady GaGa Radio - Pandora. It's been playing Lady GaGa of course, Britney Spears, and Nelly Furtado.

*cracks knuckles* here goes nothing. As you can see, I haven't done one of these since May. Hopefully i've still got it. I like the bright colors that she's going for. Many people stick to the dark colors because they're safer; it's hard to mess up blacks and blues. It's a little bit harder to find things in those brighter colors but it's okay. I can do it. Since it's getting colder I started out with a jacket. Finding a warm jacket that's not black, brown, or blue was kind of hard for me. I found plenty of cute jackets but they were the wrong color. This North Face Masonic Hoodie seems to fit the bill. It's kind of on the expensive side because it's North Face but it comes in a variety of colors and I know it's very warm despite its thinness because my sister has one. It's mature yet youthful which is what this user is looking for. Speaking of mature, I found this dress which I think is absolutely wonderful. It's the only lace dress i've ever seen that doesn't look a hot mess and it's a good price. AMI Clubwear turquoise lace dress. To go with the dress I found some brown boots. Brown and turquoise go well together but I couldn't decide on one pair of boots so I picked two. The first pair, AMI Clubwear wedge boots w/ bow, is hella cute with the little bow on the side and they look pretty comfortable for walking around in. Style plus comfort equals win. So many people sacrifice the latter for the former and it's really not necessary if you're careful with your shopping. The other pair of boots is a bit higher, coming mid-calf, but they are cute and have a hidden 1 1/2" heel for added height. They probably aren't as comfortable as the first pair because of the heel but it's not that high and they look pretty warm. They are both at good prices and they aren't fragile boots; you can wear them every day if you want to.

And now for my random find: Mossimo Co. Pink plaid shorts These shorts have nothing to do with winter or anything else i've selected but they are cute and they are pink. 'nuff said.

I was looking for a top that really stood out but I failed >.< in the interest of time i'm going to go ahead and post this now instead of spending another day on this but I will add to this when I find the perfect top or two.

1 1/2 hours, 5 items. I'm not quite as good as I used to be but i'm comin' back!! Feel free to leave comments, negative or positive.

^^ No worries on the time, everything you found was pretty cool. I'm loving that first pair of boots, they're utterly gorgeous. Thanks so much!
