From my new blogging friend Michelle over at Preppy Boho comes a Liebster award nomination for Changing Your Clothes!

The Liebster Award recognizes upcoming blogs and tries to direct people to them. As it reads, the purpose is really to discover new blogs and help new bloggers on the way.

The Rules

You must link back the person who nominated you. You must answer the 10 Liebster questions given to you by the nominee before you. You must pick 10 bloggers to be nominated for the award with under 200 followers You must come up with 10 questions for your nominees to answer. You must go to their blogs and notify your nominees.

Here are the questions given to me by Michelle, and my answers (in italics):

1. What do you obsess about most? Hmm, so many things… matching seams when I’m sewing. That’s one.

2. Milk chocolate or dark chocolate? Dark. I mean dark.

3. Favorite shade of lipstick? Pink-y nude, when it’s not bordeaux.

4. What is the last thing you ate? Trader Joe’s ginger granola with Greek yogurt. Unless you count coffee, which I’m sipping now.

5. If you could have one wish, what would it be? For my daughter to be completely restored to perfect health. And unlimited tango shoes. Oops, that’s two.

6. How do you organize your closet? By color. Used to be by type (skirts, jackets, dresses), but since I put outfits together primarily based on color palettes, organizing my closet this way makes more sense for me.

7. What is your favorite movie? Currently? Red 2. All-time? Fantasia.

8. Movie popcorn – butter or no butter? Depends on my mood and possibly on the movie, but usually butter.

9. Plethora of buddies or small circle of close friends? Small circle. I prefer quality over quantity in almost everything.
