I'm being a little lazy with this bloglet, but spotted this Quiz on another's site, and thought it was very classy, with the black and white images and all, and to be honest, I'm a bit surprised by the result.
I always think that Audrey Hepburn was such a star, so elegant and classy... Wasn't she clever enough to only ever be seen in black or white, or a combination of the two - So everything you have in your desired 'capsule wardrobe' (cough!) always matches, no matter what you choose?
I'm very much more your drag something from the bottom of the 'clean' laundry basket, pre-ironing, and stretch it up against the light to see if there are any creases... I tend to con myself that people might think I've just ironed the blouse, trousers or skirt that morning and it's only gone and got all creased on my long drive in to work!
I did mention in my About Me that I'm a serial housework avoider and general slattern, didn't I? A male friend and colleague once described me as 'a bit Bohemian', and I've clung to that raft ever since! So, friends and readers of a sensitive disposition, or those of you who are honest about your OCD tendencies, look away now!
Like I say, your actual Audrey in person is not very me at all, but perhaps I have something in common with her inner feelings, maybe I've an inner Audrey?
