CC's Style ~ Tag and Award!

Fellow Fashionista Fashion Titbits honored CC with this lovely award and tagged CC to list 10 things that help you create your own unique style ~ so fun! CC is passing on this award to all her Fellow Fashionistas with the request that they do the same!
10 Things That Makes CC’s Style Unique:
1) My tendency to wear 4 inch heels even though I am 5’ 10”. Cesare Paciotti ad.
2) My appreciation for extra-big hair. Italian Vogue, September 2008.
3) My penchant for overdressing. Japanese Vogue, September 2004.
4) My love of corsetry. Jean Paul Gaultier Couture, via style.com.
5) My daring attitude toward legwear. W, August 2006.
6) My passion for Haute Couture. Vogue, May 2004.
7) My willingness to wear overtly sexy styles. Gisele in W, 2008.
8) My love of vintage furs. Bazaar, September 2008.
9) My malleability, fashionably speaking. I can be uptown one day and downtown the next, depending on my mood. Italian Vogue, April 2007.
10) My eagerness to experiment with up-and-coming designers like Sofie Ølgaard. Visit sofieolgaard.com.

Congrats on your award, darlings ~ can't wait to hear your 10!

Love. This. My 10:

1) My tendency to wear large cocktail rings anywhere with anything - grocery stores, the office...no cocktail party is required for me! :)

2) My inability to resist wearing boots, even when the temperature is over 100*.

3) My obsession for big, wild hair - teased or simply out of control; I love it all!

4) My affinity for leopard print ballerina flats.

5) My penchant for embracing all things boyfriend - cardigans, tees, jeans.

6) My cravings for lacy unmentionables.

7) My chameleon-like fashion flavor...one day I'm dressed to attend a cocktail party; the next, I'm casual with a dash of grunge.

8) My appreciation for flowy, carefree, hippie-inspired bohemian style.

9) My love for beauty and fashion on a budget.

10) My adoration for statement nail polish.

Love your picks as usual! Sorry, I haven't been commenting for a while, but I'm back! I think what makes my style unique is I am willing to try any style once just to see if it works or not. I like taking risks!

First of all, congratulations on your Award! I think it is a great idea to name 10 things. I would have to think about it and come back with an answer. I think it is great that you know yourself so well. Me - I still trying to figure thing out!

10 Things That Makes RV’s Style Unique:

1) Overdressing. ALWAYS.
2) Excentricity, but balanced.
3) Wearing miniskirts and microshorts and microdresses even with -20°C. ( Skiing, for example )
4) ( following three: ) tights, headbands, jewels, and LOTS of accesorizing.
5) I don't buy ANYTHING in Geneva ( except Zara's basics, but that doesn't count ). So I've always italian shoes, dutch vintage items, etc. etc...
6) boots and leather jackets. Two of my 'signatures'
7) Literature and film's inspirations. Mixxes between 80' and 60'
8) Oxymora. Preppy-punk, bon ton-rock, etc. etc. I can't be cathegorized.
9) ( following 8 ) I'm total eclectic.
10) Masculine garderobe. Especially cardigans or shirts... I love men's shirts. The simplest the best. Like Audrey in BAT'
