Function or Fashion?

I'm the only one that picked Fashion LOL! As you can probably tell from some of the pics I have posted that I am a girly girl. And as you can tell from my daughters nursery that I LOVE the color Pink and secretly hopes she will too 
I love makeup and I love clothes. Being pregnant has also brought out my inner fashion. You can either look dumpy preggo or pretty preggo, I chose pretty over dumpy although more than half the time I feel pretty dumpy. As a girl I think its important for us to look our best, not talking about going out and buying a $200 shirt or putting on a full face of makeup just to go to Walmart but yet at the same time not going out in slippers and your hair in curlers either, that just looks tacky. Somewhere in between those two.

I have a "bag," lol. I used to use it as a backpack and it's semi-stylish, but if you call it a purse you get hit with it. It's a bag.

I guess I'm a mixture of both.
I could care less about the latest fashions, as I think most of them are ugly (i.e. trends like huge sunglasses, those longish shorts that are tight, etc).
I hate shoes... lol. In casual situations I always wear Rainbow brand sandels, and my favorite pair I wear 99% of the time are like 3 years old. lol. They are so comfy I don't want to replace them. I do love purses, though, and always match my purse to my clothes!
But yea... no crocs, sweatpants, pajama pants, etc in public.

Voted a little of both, because it really depends on where I am or what I'm doing at any given time.
Not gonna wear a dress and heels to hike the Tahoe Rim Trail ... but not gonna go out to dinner or a show in hiking boots and gear either.

My purse has to have a strap that will fit over my shoulder. None of those hand bags or anything like that. Don't care if it's cute or not, must go over the shoulder easily and must have a zipper.
My current purse isn't ugly but it's not high fashion either. It's a black fossil purse. I do have one other purse, a coach purse that actually fits my criteria. But I rarely use it. It's Maroon.

Me TOO! I just stuff things in pockets
I hate purses. I will go to great lengths to avoid carrying one. I don't even like just bringing it with me in the car. ID in back pocket, cell phone in coat pocket, credit card in whatever pocket I deem the safest, lol. Other than when we went downtown and I had my ID in my pocket, and somehow didn't by the time we got home, this method has always worked well. I still have no idea what happened to my ID that night. Eventually I found it in our bedroom. You know I couldn't care less about purses when my dad quietly suggests to my mom that maybe they should buy me a new one as a present since my then current one looked so bad, LOL.
As far as clothes, I don't wear anything that doesn't look good, but I'm not exactly into keeping current with trends. I think some things just look ridiculous.

lol, i cant afford to be fashionable lol
i have my own personal style that i like to pull together when i have the cash to buy a few peices, but currently i own about 5 t-shirts 3 sweaters and 3 pairs of jeans sneakers and my "work" boots...
i cant afford the clothes i realy like especially in my size...so i make do with what i do have...
BUT...my bras are REALY fashionable AND comfortable! so its a nice middle ground there...not like anyone sees or realy needed to know that lol
i did splurge on my purse and walet though before xmas, and by that i mean i paid $5 for the walet and $12 for the purse BUT there pink and black with skulls that have hearts for eyes, they were MADE for me and i had to have them...thats about as fashionable as i get lol

I've been so close to losing my cell phone in the toilet so many times because of this.
I find putting things in my pockets uncomfortable. Unless it's like a hoodie pocket.
Primarily function, but it's a plus if I like it too. But I will spend no more than $15 on a purse. Usually it's closer to $7. I don't care if others like it as long as I like it.
In winter I don't use a purse - I stick everything in my coat pockets. Now that it's spring I dug out my old green fruity purse that looks like crap, but I like it lol.

Same here. I first and foremost want to be comfortable. But I am not one to wear sweats or hoodies too often. Alot of the clothes I have always thought were cool like tunic tops, leggings, and 60s styles are gaining popularity in the stores. So I no longer need to hunt through the Salvation Army for hours to find some cute tops. Because I can now find them at Kohls, Target, and Walmart.
But before I was looked at as this weird hippy chick lol. Now I look like I have fashion sense :rofl1:.
Im not one for heels though. Flats and Chucks are my favorites.
So I guess a bit of both.
