said one-thing
Coco Chanel said take one thing off. I always said put another one on.
attitude style
Style is attitude, attitude, attitude!
wanted persons ifs
I had to be my own person and live my own life if I wanted to be happy, and I just did it.
lasts being-pretty attractive
Being attractive lasts longer than being pretty.
looks baroque
My look is either very baroque or very Zen – everything in between makes me itch.
discovery years shopping
I do have a dominant shopping gene but, unlike a reasonable person, I never plan for what I need each season. I enjoy the thrill of the hunt, the discovery and the endless search. In another creation I was, perhaps, a hunter/gatherer. After all these years, I’ve learned that it’s not the end result or finished product but the process I most enjoy. If my experimenting, searching and juxtaposing turns into an exciting outfit well, it’s just a big fat bonus!
color play eyeglasses
I'm a color person, I've never been known to play it safe. Plus I like big bags. My eyeglasses are so big; they don't fit into smaller bags.
home matter perky
When you're older, no matter how good your humor is you don't always feel perky and peppy. But if you sit home all day and brood about it, it gets worse.
style trying
You can't try to be somebody you're not; that's not style.
important well-dressed wells
It's more important to be happy than well-dressed.
path helping ifs
I'm happy if I can help anybody. I'm more than happy to, but you have to find your own path.
long important littles
Humor is important in everything. Dress with a little humor and you can go a long way.
fun might wells
When the fun goes out of getting dressed, you might as well be dead.
clothes style looks
I never just went to look for clothes and style; I always find that wherever I go.
