How do you get your inspiration for the outfits you wear ?
I get inspiration from reading magazines and blogs but also from thing I see on the streets.
Who has had the biggest fashion influence on your outfits ?
That would be me, I wear what I like.
What made you start posting your pictures on your blog ?
I tried blogging earlier, but I did not have enough patience to get good pictures and keep readers. After my sister started a blog in May this year I really liked to get started again too. So I did.
What blogs and websites do you follow and why ?
I follow several blogs and websites. One I have been following for years is Daily Fashion Boost. I absolutely love the style of Sam, the girl behind this blog. Very inspiring.
Would you describe yourself as a trendsetter or fashion
follower ?
I guess I am a little bit of both. I only follow trends when I like them and always try and give it my own twist.

How would you describe your style ?
My style is feminine and most of the time colour full. Fashion items that are remarkable for my style and notable tights and high heels. I always wear skirts or dresses, never trousers.

Does the hosiery you wear dictate the clothes,outfit you wear ?
It depends. Most of the time I wear tights with prints. When a print is very notable I like to keep the rest a bit calmer. I always start building my outfit from one piece, sometimes I start with my hosiery, sometimes with something else.

What is in your hosiery drawer or closet ?
Most of my tights are black with a print. I also got a few coloured pairs, red, blue and Brown. I got some ticker pairs for in winter and besides tights there are also over knees and regular Socks in my hosiery drawer. The regular Socks I wear to protect my tights from zippers in my shoes.

How do you choose your hosiery ?
Sometimes I pick my hosiery first and then choose what other clothes to wear with it. Other times I pick a dress fist and choose what kind of hosiery to wear with it.

How does wearing tights make you feel emotionally ?
Wearing tights makes me feel more feminine. I feel best wearing feminine outfits, it makes me more confident. When I go to the gym I have to wear trousers and they always make me a bit insecure. I feel more like myself in a dress or a skirt.
Do you prefer the feel of tights to pants?
I prefer the feel of tights above pants. I personally think tights are a lot more comfortable.

What is your hosiery staple ?
I actually would not know. (What is meant by staple? English is not my First language.)
What are your style tips for wearing tights ?
Do not be afraid of notable tights with a print. Start building your outfit from a pair of tights for a change. If you keep the rest of your outfit a bit calmer, tights with a print can really be an upgrade.
