How would you describe your personal style?
"Classic with a modern twist and a bit of pizaz."
Who are your style icons?
"I can’t say that I have one individual. I like a more sporty/classic look, than trendy, but I do like to dress elegantly for the right occasion. I carry that feeling with my fragrance as well. I like a citrusy, soft fragrance, such as Burberry Brit."
Where do you like to shop?
"J.Crew and Lucy"
What is the one thing you must have in your closet?
"My skinny jeans. I can dress them up with heels with a fun, stylish top for a night out, or flats or boots for a more casual look."
How has your fashion changed/evolved?
"Over time, I have been more willing to take 'calculated' risks. I also have shed the fear of asking for a consultation from my daughter or the shop personal shoppers. That having been said, it’s important to feel comfortable and special in what you wear, from athletic apparel to work attire to formal dress."
Funniest fashion moment?
"I try to 'avoid' these moments, but we all have to laugh at ourselves. I wear my running shoes to work and change when I arrive. On the rare occasion, I will forget my appropriate work shoes, and must wear my running shoes all day. The comments I receive are interesting to say the least and I try to make light of it, suggesting, we should have an 'athletic' shoe day!"
