Ok... I normally wear cotton clothing... flat-front straight-legged pants and shaped, button-down shirts layered with fine-gauge jewel-neck cotton cardigans or sleeveless tanks, depending on the temperature. I try to keep neutral and solid items to pair with more interesting prints or beaded tanks. It's really hard to find interesting cotton cardigans... most of the cute ones are fake fibers. My pants are different weights of cotton and range from jeans to cords to satin finished twills.
My best colors are reds and blues... sorry, Giulia. 
I almost always have Clark's or Aerosoles on my feet, if they aren't bare. Some Clark's are a bit chunky, so I try to buy their more feminine versions. I wouldn't be caught dead in flip-flops or Crocks... and would probably have a heat stroke if I tried Uggs (which I would only wear out of necessity if I lived in a freezing cold environment.)
I always wear earrings and my engagement/anniversary ring set. I find that necklaces too often fight (visually) with the neckline of my shirt and that bracelets are impractical. I often make necklaces so they fall in the proper place, but I'm fine without a necklace... Earrings are my signature jewelry.
It took me years, but I've finally made peace with my wavy hair. I now have a style that takes two minutes to dry/style. I love having a stylist that works with my hair instead of encouraging me to spend an hour fighing with it each morning. BTDT... and I'm not going back.
I wear natural looking make-up and forego mascara due to eye infections. Eyeliner gives almost the same effect as mascara if applied properly. Occasionally, I dye my lashes black, but it doesn't last long and I don't do it very often.
I don't mind what others do in fashion as long as they are clean and do what's best for their own body type and size.  I'm not interested in seeing people in clothing that's the wrong size for them or that cause disproportion. I'm not a big fan of gaudy, either... meaning, hair color that doesn't occur in nature with roots showing or makeup that isn't an enhancement to beauty. I don't like to see others look unkempt... I just don't get the rage amongst people (men or women) to grow long hair and then let it hang limp, oily, and frizzy. I'd like to see others take pride in their natural beauty and wear themselves with confidence, in short... as long as they are doing what compliments their own beauty, I have no pet peeves.

My whole job is about talking to people. In fact, sometimes I have to find out really personal information I'd really rather not have known about them, but then I wouldn't be able to help them as much if I didn't know these things.
I wore a new shirt to work today. I love it when something which didn't cost very much gets huge compliments. I bought the shirt I was wearing for $11 on EBay, including the postage.
I don't like buying on ebay because I can't try the stuff on and I can't see it up close. Yes I really like it when something which didn't cost much gets huge compliments. Funny cause that has happened with many of the things which have been cheaper to buy, with me.
Ok can I ask what you do? I have to ask really personal questions as well but I am not allowed to offer counsel, so I refer or make suggestions. Sometimes I get people who cry to me or tell me other things. I have had to make reports at times. I work in social research, mainly doing interviews for government depts (doing one for the dept of human services atm, another for the cancer council and another for worksafe insurance, another gov dept) and I also translate. Many of the people I talk to are lonely or lost.
Today it is going to be 28 degrees Celsius and it is going to rain. At least that's what the weather man says, though I often make my own judgement and find I do a better estimation than the weather man. Hate that! When it is hot and raining. Don't know what to wear. I might wear a black pinafore dress with a zip in the back, heart buttons and frilly sleeves with silver shoes.

I wear jeans and a fitted t-shirt most days (long-sleeved in winter, short-sleeved in summer). When I dress up, I wear a nice skirt or slacks and a blouse. Sometimes in the summer I layer cute/dressy tank tops. I rarely wear shorts in summer, mostly capris (denim). I wear all different kinds of blouses, from fitted button-up to baby-doll style with prints. A boatneck flatters my figure and haircut.
I wear a skirt or slacks when I go to church.
When I go out with my husband, I wear a flattering blouse with nice jeans and heels.
I wear all kinds of shoes. Flip flops, heels, clogs, flats, boots, etc. Just whatever looks best with the outfit. I rarely wear sneakers/tennis shoes.
I have a fitted, dark-wash denim jacket that is a staple in my wardrobe. It fits perfectly and goes with EVERYTHING. I love it and wear it all the time.
I'm a bargain shopper. I got some very nice items at the local thrift store and a yard sale most recently and on clearance at JC Penney and Old Navy.
I don't wear much jewelry, just my watch and wedding ring, and once in a while a bracelet or earrings. I never wear necklaces.
I used to wear really long hair but it got to be impractical, so now I wear an inverted bob that is angled longer in front and shorter in back. It looks sophisticated and is easy to take care of. 99% of the time I wear my natural hair color, because my hair grows so quickly and it's a nice color. I am contemplating going a shade darker for the winter.
eta: Today I am wearing jeans, a fitted long-sleeved blue t-shirt and brown corduroy clogs. I was wearing a coordinating fleece jacket earlier. I'm very casual today.

You wear fitted tops, that suggests to me that you have a good figure. I like to wear fitted tops as well. Sometimes it is vulgar. Like leggings on their own, for me, look vulgar. I was behind a woman on a bike and she were wearing them and it wasn't a pretty sight. I often tell my daughter to put something over them. They don't look very nice on their own.

Just want to say, my mini is not THATmini, it's just above the knee. I have always had many flamboyant people around me. I like long flowing gowns and stockings because I don't like the gusset on the pantyhose.

Melbourne Cup Day - pretty dresses and hats or fascinators...
Our manager has said we can dress up for it. I'm having a hard time finding that balance between still looking like work clothes and yet still wanting to take advantage of the opportunity to dress to fit.
Yes I like hats and it is a great opportunity to dress up. I don't go to the cup. I may get dressed for a party I am going to with my mother. May wear a cream silk top with a pretty collar and a plain a line skirt with skin coloured fishnets and gold stilettos.
St. Paul said to be all things to all men, so blending in with the cultures is wise and having fun with it is also great.

Now we just have to go out shoe shopping. Her feet are already one size bigger than mine.
Geez, she must be a big boned young woman. I like shoes but I hate shopping. Usually I can find the thing I want quite quickly when I scan around. I just want to get out of there quickly especially if there are a lot of people in the shop.

Can't get over the feeling that perhaps I have offended someone here, far out! If there is anyone with no arms or legs, or anyone else who has taken offense, then I am sorry for offending you, if that is the case, it was not intended.

You haven't offended me, Gulia. I just haven't had anything to add. I've been enjoying reading the conversation, though.

. I have so many things to ask him and talk to him about. He headed up Prison Fellowship in Australia and he is tough, wise and gentle and still sharp as a tack.
