Hey Questies! To kick off this month, I have an interview with someone that has achieved a goal ready to take on 2010 – Debbie MacKenzie from Nova Scotia, Canada!  She, like Quest, has proven that if you work hard you can achieve whichever goal you put your mind to.  And she is yet another example of how Quest inspires people to try things they would never otherwise attempt.  And sometimes those discoveries show us a new side of us that we just love!

QueStyle: Tell us about these outfits and why you chose them.

Debbie: The pictures you have, were taken in the fall and they were to celebrate reaching my fitness goal of losing over 40lbs. Since they were taken I have changed my hairstyle and color, so I have included a couple new pictures.

I chose these outfits because they are flattering to my new figure and they are what I wear most of the time. The shirts are in the bright colors that I’ve come to like, in fact my friends now refer to royal blue as “Debbie’s blue” because it looks so nice on me. In the new pictures I have a dressier look and another everyday look with my favorite piece of clothing and a shirt in “my blue”.

QueStyle: Define your style.

Debbie: A typical day for me right now has me working or in class. I work as a cook on the weekends and I’m a full time Baking and Pastry Arts student, so I spend a lot of time in a chef’s uniform. Before and after being in the kitchen I find it’s easier to throw on jeans and a nice shirt, but I still have a couple of outfits for special occasions. I would define my style as a casual with a touch of class. I love jeans, t-shirts and sneakers, but nicer shirts, too. I have been slowly rebuilding my wardrobe since I lost weight and the dressier cloths have been the last items to be added. I don’t wear a lot of accessories because I have to take them off in the kitchen.

QueStyle: How does Quest influence your style?

Debbie: Seeing how Quest pulls off a variety of bright colors has had an influence on me. I’ve been more adventurous with color and I have found colors and even some styles that I never thought would look good on me.

QueStyle: What’s your favorite piece of clothing?

Debbie: My favorite piece of clothing is a hoodie I got this fall.

It’s “cookie monster” blue and it’s fuzzy all over the inside. I love it because it’s a bright color and the second I put it on I’m warm.

QueStyle: Who’s your style icon?

Debbie: For style icon I think I would pick Stacy and Clinton from “What Not To Wear”. I use to watch that show a lot and even though sometimes they are harsh on people, their advice is sound and their results are amazing. Dressy cloths can be comfortable, so you end up looking great and feeling comfortable.

QueStyle: What’s your favorite fashion season?

Debbie: My favorite fashion season if I have one would most likely be the same as my favorite season, winter. I tend to be drawn to the darker, richer colors and fabrics you find in the winter. Plus when you live on the east coast of Canada, it’s good to be warm as well as look good.
