I Don’t Want a Sweetheart

Category: My Outfits,Symmetry ChallengeEyeliah

I landed fine in Cabo yesterday and had a dinner in with my dad.  He asked me what I want to do while I am down here… well, go out on a sailboat, afternoon at a spa, visit the massage school, maybe a day in Todos Santos and a night out dancing.  I’ll let you know what I accomplish on that list.  Oh and I was even able to watch ANTM last night, but more on that later.  For now it’s off to the beach for smoothies, sun and surf.

Symmetry Seven ~ Katie of What Katie Wore

Category: Real Girl SpotlightsEyeliah

Katie’s style is fun, colourful, whimsical, unique.  Lately her occasional monochrome inspired and muted tones have been catching my eye as they suit the new Style Symmetry sensibility.  Of course we have adored her style since the beginning, no one does the head to toe brights like her.  Thanks Joe for knowing the world needed to see What Katie Wore.  See Katie’s answers below.

What Katie Wore On Joe's First Day (kind of)

1.What would you name your personal style?
Playing dress up at the end of the rainbow

What Katie Wore On Liberal Tuesday

2.Is there anything you wouldn’t wear?
Hmm, I think the only thing I can say with 100% certainty that I wouldn’t wear is Crocs

What Katie Wore Outside Jones Dairy

3.Where do you get your outfit inspirations?
I have absolutely no idea! Every day I decide on one item I want to wear while I’m in the shower and then build an outfit from that one piece out. I’m really not sure how I decide on the first part of the outfit, but all the other elements on top are generally linked by colour or pattern.

What Katie Wore On Excitment Friday

4.What’s your favorite non fashion hobby?
Does eating count as a hobby?! Joe and I really love cooking together or going out for dinner; I love good food almost as much as I love rainbow tights!

What Katie Wore On The Concrete Block

5.How much time do you spend working on your blog?
I’m pretty lucky; the blog is really Joe’s so he is the one who does all the writing and who runs it on a day-to-day basis. All I need to do is get dressed in the morning and, as I’d be wearing what I wear on the blog even if we didn’t have the blog, I don’t ever feel that it’s a burden.

What Katie Wore To L'Anima

6.What songs/albums are you loving right now?
I’m going through a bit of a Mumford & Sons and The XX phase at the moment. Oh and the new Yeah Yeah Yeahs album is great too.

What Katie Wore After ASOS

7.When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up?
I used to fluctuate between an archaeologist, a criminal lawyer and a fashion designer! So God only knows how I’ve ended up as an advertising strategist…

Katie thank you so much for participating!!
