myself
Every man is said to have his peculiar ambition. Whether it be true or not, I can say for one that I have no other so great as that of being truly esteemed of my fellow men, by rendering myself worthy of their esteem.

ELIZABETH of “DELIGHTFULLY TACKY”

ELIZABETH’S STYLE: I’d say it’s very vintage inspired. I have days of wanting to dress more rock & roll, or more sophisticated, so I feel like it varies on a daily basis, but mostly I think most of my outfits are a little bit vintage, with maybe some hipster thrown in there now and then.
INSPIRATION: People and beautiful things around me. It’s why I love blogging so much, the blogosphere is just full of beautiful, inspiring people posting amazing things on a daily basis. So great!
IF YOU COULDN’T BE YOU, WHO WOULD YOU BE? I would be… I don’t know. I never really think about being someone else. Maybe my husband. It’s be interesting to be a boy, but I don’t think I’d want to stay a boy forever. Or maybe someone with straight hair. It’d be cool to see all the different styles I could wear with straight hair.
WHAT ASPECT OF FASHION APPEALS TO YOU THE MOST? I like that it’s a method of describing yourself visually to the world. We all look at people and make a conscious or unconscious assessment of them based on what they look like. I love that I can be creative with the way I dress and it can say something about me to others without me having to even say anything.
STAPLE ITEMS FOR FALL: A great, comfortable pair of boots and a coat that is warm and stylish. I’ve also really loved colorful tights this fall, it’s a fun way to brighten up an outfit.
HOMETOWN GLORY: The style in my hometown (Anchorage, AK) is pretty nonexistent. It’s a lot of jeans, t-shirts… stuff from PacSun and Abercrombie, mixed with North Face Jackets and boots. People don’t care much about style in Alaska, mainly because it’s so laid back and it’s also freezing cold most of the year. But I do love how growing up there didn’t give me any preconceived ideas of fashion or fashion “rules.” When I started exploring my own style I basically had a blank slate to build off of.
HOLIDAY WISH-LIST: Pretty much all my wish-list items this year are home decor things. I love decorating our little house, it’s been a fun process.
