An Interview with Jacquelyn of Musings by Jacquelyn
Jacquelyn is a wife and mom who loves a great deal and tries to be crafty. I love reading, writing, baking, cooking, design, discourse, coupons, and the pursuit of pretty things. I adore mary janes and own too many shoes. Check out my blog, Musings by Jacquelyn!
What do you do when you're not blogging? What is your job?
Jacquelyn: For work/income, I'm a technical writer who now does communications and project management. Other things I do when not blogging include spending time with my daughter and husband, reading all types of media, and of course, shopping. I also love to ride my bike and am an avid baker.
How would you describe your personal style?
Jacquelyn: I aspire to have a vintage look to my wardrobe but really, I just like pretty, feminine things. I prefer to wear skirts and only own two pairs of jeans. Most of my shoes are heels. I'm a girly-girl!
Who is/are your favorite shoe designer(s)?
Jacquelyn: I really like Anthropologie's Miss Albright brand. I also like Naya by Naturalizer. Over the last few seasons I have also amassed quite the Seychelles shoe collection.
What would be the one fashion tip you would give to a friend?
Jacquelyn: Dress for your body type, not necessarily what is in style. You will look good, feel confident, and walk tall.
Who are your favorite bloggers we don't know about?
Jacquelyn: Roxy over at Effortless Anthropologie runs an awesome blog. I am also always entertained by Kristen over at Some Hot Dishes; we live in the same city so that is fun. Sara over at Confessions of a Serial Thrifter has an interesting, informative blog that I think everyone should read.
3 fun facts about you:
Jacquelyn: I'm afraid of heights and really tall bridges. I love to use coupons so much that grocery shopping can be a thrill.
What are you currently grooving to?
Jacquelyn: I mostly listen to NPR when in the car, and at home rarely have music on. When I'm at work I'll listen to my iPod and that has a mix of music: some 80s, new wave, pop, modern rock...I like a wide variety of music.
What are you wearing right now?
Jacquelyn: Boxers and a tee shirt with sock monkey slippers. It's night time, after dinner, and I just want to be comfortable. The first thing I do when I get home from work is take off my jewelry and change into lounge clothes.
Favorite item of clothing in your closet:
Jacquelyn: I'd have to say it's my Rebecca Beeson Triple Falls Tee from Anthropologie. I bought it in all three colors, and even bought an extra in black, the color I wear the most, so I have a back-up for when the original one I purchased dies and goes to clothes heaven.
Great fashion steal:
Jacquelyn: Well, it's really more of a tip, or a continuous steal. I find great deals at The Limited. They always send me coupons and they usually have promos going. You can often use the coupons on top of the promo. I've walked out of there with items for which I paid less than 25% of the ticket price.
