8 + 8

I've been tagged by two lovely ladies to answer 8 questions each...

The first set comes from Jenn at West Sac Honey

1. What are you going to dress up as for Halloween?

I can't tell... it's a secret! I am pretty sure it will top our Double Dare costumes last year though!

2. What is your idea of a perfect date?

Tell me to be up and moving by x time on such and such day, tell me to get in the car, and don't tell me where we're goin... I love surprises! Even if it's just to go grab some breakfast or to wander around town shopping!

3. What is your best guess of what I’m like in person? Ha! That would be funny to know...

Well, I imagine you, Jenn, being a new-age Suzy Homemaker! You're always posting these delicious sounding recipes, and I'm pretty sure we'd get along quite well considering our love for being crafty! I feel like you probably love entertaining or being with a group of friends!

4. If you could change your college choice would you? (I liked Sonja’s question)

I'm pretty happy with design... but I've always thought that if I ever decided to go back it would be for nursing or to become a doctor.

5. What’s your dream job?

Visual Manager at an Anthropologie store... they are the one's who make all the displays in the store and dream up all the crazy, creative, beautiful things you see (window displays made out of recycled bottles... store decoration made from phone books... etc etc)

6. What’s your favorite go to outfit for going out?

Define 'going out' haha I don't go out-out too often... I typically go with my dark Paige jeans, a pair of heels a plain colored fitted tee and a scarf. And always, always a watch!

7. What would you do if you could not fail?

Dream up an occupation that involves traveling the world for a few weeks every month. My job would require my to bring various friends & family members along with me on glamorous, relaxing, all-inclusive trips by the mysterious company who requires me to do nothing but enjoy them! Hey... you said I couldn't fail!

8. How do you measure beauty?

In self-confidence. If you don't believe it, no one else ever will

The last 8 are from Jamie at Pickled in Pink

1. How long does it take you to get ready?
About 30 minutes... if I'm getting ready for a date or a wedding or something where I actually have time I usually stretch it out into an hour or so but for work every morning it only takes me 20-30 minutes

2. What is your natural hair color?
Basically the same color it is right now, dark brown with a tinge of red in the sunlight

3. Where is your dream wedding location?
I've never been one of those girls... I'll worry about that when the time comes!

4. What is the most money you have spent on an article of clothing or accessory (including shoes)?
It was probably on jeans or a watch ($250ish). Believe me, I've gotten my moneys worth out of either though!

5. What is your favorite holiday?
I love Christmas! I love the excitement in the air, and searching for the perfect gift for everyone

6. What is your go to meal to cook when having company over?
I'm more of a dessert gal... I typically make cookies or cupcakes or something, not meals! =)

7. How many days do you celebrate your birthday (just your birthday, birthday week, month, etc.)?
Usually just on my birthday birthday... I joke about it being my birthday month but don't actually "celebrate" all the time! (Although last year I celebrated for the whole week aboard our cruise!)

8. If you could live anywhere in the US, where would it be?
I'm pretty happy being in Indy! I think Charleston, SC is a charming town but I have just about everyone I need right here near me in the circle city!
