Bakersfield Look - Angie Poole

Written by Bakersfield Magazine

Are you a Bakersfield Native? Yes. I’ve never lived anywhere else.

Is there a style product that you absolutely can’t live without? Lip plump. I don’t go anywhere without it. I have about eight sticks in my purse right now. And I’m not kidding.

Do you think Bakersfield has a style? It’s very trendy, but I think girls tend to try a little more than guys do (when it comes to style).

Describe your personal style. Classy but simple. I don’t over-accessorize.

How long does it usually take you to get ready in the morning? About 40 minutes. I don’t take long.

Is there a celebrity or person in your life that you get your style from? I like Jennifer Lopez’s style. She’s classy but not over-revealing or overdone.

What are you wearing? I’m wearing a bebe top; the skirt is Charlotte Rousse (but the belt is from another skirt); the shoes are Joey; and the jewelery is from bebe, too. Oh, and the bag is Juicy.

Does your style change when you are not at work? No, I carry my day look on into the night when I’m out with the girls.

How do you personalize your ‘business’ look? Shoes! I always start with the shoes and work up from there. I wear something that’s going to get noticed.

What are your favorite places to shop in Bakersfield? Bebe and Jezabelle’s.

What is your favorite item of clothing? Jeans and heels. My friends call me “Jean Queen.”

What is the biggest fashion mistake you have made? Back when I was a freshman, I thought I was cool walking around in Z Cavaricci pants.

Are you a bargain hound? Absolutely. I like name brands but I go for the sales. That gives me a reason to shop for twice as much.

What mistakes do you think men make when they dress? Tennis shoes! You can’t go out dressed up and be wearing tennis shoes. Those are meant for the gym!
