I haven't had a date in 26 years.
A couple of things for the not-so-diminutive man: avoid any prints that are large scale, because you will look like the print is wearing you, as opposed to you wearing the print.
I wouldn't know what to do on a date. I don't have the time. To make a relationship work, I'd have to give something up, and I'm not so sure I'm willing to do that.
With fashion, you really need to understand the aspects of construction. Not just design on an iPad.
I just think the Kardashians have an absence of taste and I don’t think that that should be perpetuated. I’m sorry I’m sounding like an old farty, snob, but it bothers me.
I say long and lean as opposed to tall, because you could be 5 four and look long and lean.
I just don't like conspicuous consumption. I find it distasteful.
In a manner of speaking. I certainly never want to lose my voice as an educator.
I had this wonderful career and thought I would retire as a teacher.
My best life advice:Take the high road.No matter how much stress, or strain, or consternation you are facing, take the high road.You will never regret it.
I found early on in teaching, if you're too blunt an instrument, the students discredit you and think you're just being mean. They're not interested in what you have to say.
I have my mantra about silhouette, proportion, and fit. I believe that when they are in harmony and balance, you’ll look great in anything.
I don't know why I've always been so captivated by architecture.
If you don't have experience sewing, start with that, because that will inform what you are able to design.
