Marelize Steyn (Earle)  Mrs South Africa 2002, Professional make-up artist

1. Shopping motto:  Buy cash only (if possible), buy what suits my pocket & my body and "if it doesnt 'jump' on me, I wont wear it!"
2. Dress etiquette?  No stockings with sandals & never wear big, chunky white shoes.  Wear the right "dress size"... always!!!
3. Wardrobe friend?  My jeans & scetcher-pumps  (not exactly a designer's dream).
4. Shoe, heel height?  Flat,  or stiletto - nothing in between.
5. Dress mistakes?  Almost everyday! I'm fashion-impaired/fashion-challenged.  Just look at all my 1980's-1990's pics.  It was a disastrous time... 
6. How many hangers in your wardrobe?  Empty hangers none!  With clothes on around 80.
7. Accessory friend?  Not much of an accessory-fanatic, but I believe that earrings are to businesswoman what a tie is to a businessman.  And of course MAKE-UP!!! I change my look with make-up, it looks great with any outfit.
8. Best asset?  I do get a lot of compliments on my eyes and I've been told that I have beautiful arms and a back (wish it was a back side)!!!. 
9. Lipstick? Colour?  Pinkish Nude, especially "Lust" from MAC - goes with anything and everything
10. Handbag?  What’s in it?  I just bought a beautiful GUESS bag in "pieuter" which also goes with everything (by now you know I'm a minimalist) and I do not like clutter.  So I have my Adidas Sport sunglasses (no Kugel), a small make-up bag with only a few essentials and a very tidy purse in it, as well as, naturally, my business cards, a packet of tissues and my mento's white gum.
11. Week-end friend?  I work most Saturdays, so you'll find me in something black (part of my make-up "uniform") & then my favourites... jeans - very casual, but if I go out, I would dress up the look.
12. A second hand item?  Nope!! Not into the whole Hollywood-Vintage-look.
13. Most expensive item, ever?  A Versace Suite (which I wore once, never did it again)
14. Cheapest buy?  A little white strappy top at Jet for only R13 (on sale) to go with my boxer to sleep in, when I do sleep in something... ha-ha!!!
15. Best investment?  My Guess bag & Adidas Sunglasses - I use it everyday.
16. Dress secret?  I wear what suits me.  I'm not big on fashion.  I prefer to be different & prefer classic styles (not old fashioned), but I choose style over fashion.  "Fashion goes out of fashion, but style lasts for ever!"  I choose clothes that will last more than one season, wont date easily and that fits comfortably.  I do buy one of two seasonal fashion items, but I must really like it, must fit & be comfortable!
17. Your husband’s thoughts on your wardrobe?  He's always proud of me, because he says I'm classy, stylish & a little sexy.  As long as he approves, I'm happy!!
18. …and your thoughts on his?  I try to update his wardrobe, without him really realizing it.  His a typical "boerseun", so he needs a bit of help.  Luckily he appreciates my style & taste, so he loves it when I shop for him.  Have you seen my hubby?  He's so sexy!!!!!
19. Definition of style?  Keep it simple, classical, stylish sexy & timeless..
20. Describe today’s fashion?  Mostly doesn't suit anybody!!
