Q&A With A Bookshelf

Important side note: Katie-Lee Faulkner answered these questions in late December, and so she dressed accordingly. 

Although weather in Arizona is about to go through rapid changes in order to welcome Spring in about three weeks, Katie-Lee's vogue can still be emulated in colder states, and possibly, if the weather decides to become cooler, her style may be enjoyed in Arizona, as well. 

Where do you shop?

Savors. Goodwill. And anywhere cheap.

Do you consider yourself a savvy shopper?

Yes. Most certainly. Mm, because I hold onto clothes for a really long time, and I don't let anything go to waste, and I never buy anything full price."

What's your typical budget for when you go out and shop/bargain?

It honestly depends on how much I have to on spend on gas. I never go out and say, "Today, I'm gonna spend fifty dollars." It's more like the clothes say, "Buuuuuuy me!"
