We all have aspects about our personal style, our shopping habits and the way we organize our wardrobes that seem unexpected. In some instances even a little quirky and out of character.  But that’s who we are and for whatever the reasons, these ways work for us.

I’ll go first. Here are 10 things about my style and wardrobe that might surprise you. Or not!

1. I must match the colour of my bra and knickers. I cannot feel fab in an outfit when they are mismatched. This is strange, because I generally prefer mismatched outfit combinations. Why I have this thing about matching my underwear is beyond me.
2. I have more pairs of boots than bras, and more handbags than pairs of knickers.
3. I’m addicted to having a layer of moisture on my lips. My preference is for lipstick but lip balm will suffice when I am working from home.
4. I seldom shop online.
5. I spend a good few hours of the day in colourful American Eagle sweats (I don’t wear a robe). First thing in the morning when I’m attending to the dogs and the blog post, and again at night after I’ve had a shower and am lounging at home.
6. I walk around in damp Seattle every day, yet I don’t have a raincoat.
7. I seldom shop the sales. When I see something that I love and within my budget, I want it right there and then. I lose interest by them time it’s on sale. Plus, my size runs out fast.
8. I’m not into make-up at all. If I didn’t look considerably better with a bit of mascara, eyebrow pencil, lipstick and blush, I’d totally toss interest in all forms of make-up.
9. I don’t wear specs at home unless I’m watching television.
10. I colour code the items in our wardrobe because it looks pretty and makes me feel like I have things under control.

If you’re prepared to share the unexpected aspects of your style, shopping habits and wardrobe organization, I’d love to hear about them.
