I'm the youngest of five girls and the only one who seems to follow fashion. I always wondered why I was different. I think by the time I came along, my mom was tired of sewing clothes so I got the benefit of shopping in department stores.
In elementary school looked at catalogs and fashion magazines. I watched people and imagined having a classic and conservative style. I grew up wearing Izod before I knew what Izod was (see photo to the left). I had an Aigner rain coat with a matching hat in college that I still can't seem to let go. And sadly, I wore bowling shoes and used safety pins for earrings; it was a short-lived fad.
After college, I worked in banking and mortgage lending. I wore the Brooks Brothers suits and as my jobs have changed so has my style.
My hair has been long, short, red, black, blonde, straight and now natural. I have more red shoes than anyone person should probably have but then I may have more clothes than any one person needs. It does allow me the opportunity to create a multitude of combinations and rarely repeat the same outfit. I guess I like change.
I enjoy looking for unique items to incorporate with what I already have and would much rather purchase jewelry or clothing when I travel to remember the trip. I think's it's better than having a t-shirt to chronicle my journey.
As I'm out and about, I'll share some of my favorite places, cool finds and fashionable things I find.
