Describe your look:
Professional and chic
What do you consider a “fashion don’t”?
Wearing jeans in the office. Coming to work in jeans signifies that you are not ready to take on the day.
What is your favorite piece of clothing?
I love wearing dresses and skirts. They’re comfortable and look professional when you combine them with a blazer and briefcase.
What do you consider a must-have
accessory?
My Mary Poppins Purse. My life is in my purse, and I can’t leave my house without it!
What is a fashion crime you have committed in the past?
Not cuffing my jeans.
Where are your favorite places to shop?
H&M, Zara, Express, Banana Republic, Francesca’s and Bloomingdale’s
What, besides your wardrobe, completes
your look?
My makeup! With it being a very busy spring market, I’m constantly running on fumes, so I rely on my makeup to showcase a fresh and energetic look!
What is in your bag/briefcase?
A hot mess! You name it, it is in there! Laptop, journal, car keys, wallet, phone, YPN charger, a bottle of air freshener….
My closet is full of…
Shoes. What’s a girl to do without a wall decorated with shoes?
Ruffle Front Jumpsuit by Express, Pointed Lapel Blazer by Zara, Proto Heels by Steve Madden, Homemade Necklace by my two beautiful children
