5. What’s your fashion pet peeve? I believe in breaking the rules of fashion, however, the one rule that every woman must follow is, “Wear your size, not the size you want to be.” Many women get caught up in the number on the tag and tend to buy down a size or two. When an item is too tight, it changes the entire look. The better the garment fits, the better you’ll look.
6. What fashion tips would you like to share with others?
While I’m no fashion guru, these are tips that I keep in mind:
- Know your own style and what looks good on you. Every style or trend is not fit for everyone.
- Confidence is the best accessory!
- Pair vintage items with modern trends to avoid looking too “dated”.
- It’s more important to create a functional wardrobe (with multiple looks) than a closet full of expensive items that you’ll only wear once.
- Don’t discount thrift stores and consignment boutiques. They are full of jewels!
7. What’s your favorite color? I’ve always played it safe with color and gravitated towards neutrals, however my favorite color of the moment is Kelly Green! I’m just realizing how many pieces I’ve purchased this season in this color. It works for me!

8. If you had to describe your style in terms of music, what artists, genre of music etc would you say best describes your style? I love the style of musicians in the 60s and 70s. Wide legged pants, cap toe pumps, multi colored and multi print garments, mini dresses and square heels are all fashions that were worn back then and still being channeled today. I would love to raid the closets of Diana Ross and Gladys Knight! I’ll bet they have some hot accessories!
