Stylelist is about all kinds of fashion for all kinds of women. So in our Stylelist Blogger Network (which you should check out if you haven't already), we've teamed up with some of the best style bloggers and sites. Over the following weeks, we'll be introducing you to its members with these little Q&As.
It is our pleasure to introduce you to Jessica Quirk of What I Wore, a Hoosier and fabulous author of What I Wore: Four Seasons, One Closet, Endless Recipes for Personal Style:
Who influences your style?
As of late, I've had a mega style crush on Diane Keaton, but I jump around between decades for inspiration. I love the 1950s housewife (full skirts, tiny waists!), the mod girl of the 1960s, and the late seventies (think Annie Hall or Love Story). Whatever it is, it has some sort of nod to the past, but still feels modern.
If you could shop at one store for the rest of your life what would it be?
You have to ask me that question once a year, but at this exact moment, I'm kinda nuts for J. Crew.
Who are your favorite designers?
Truth be told, I don't have the budget to buy a lot of designer duds, but there are some shows I love seeing each season. Oscar de la Renta is always magical. I really like Cynthia Rowley and Milly too.
What are the five essentials in your closet?
High Rise, wide leg J.Brand Belles, vintage faux fur leopard coat, men's cotton gingham-button down, black turtleneck, Olive cargo jacket.
Who takes your photographs?
My husband Adam Quirk.
Why did you start your blog?
I started taking daily outfit photos almost a year before I started the blog, and I just wanted one place to put them all up!
Do you read any other blogs?
I've actually been completely obsessed with Pinterest lately!
What are your interests aside from blogging?
Lately I've been a big bookworm. I just finished The Hunger Games and have the second and third books patiently waiting on my nightstand. I'm reading The Marriage Plot by Jeffery Eugenides for my book club and I can't wait to dig into Then Again, Diane Keaton's memoir.
