What's your "uniform?” I work out every day for a living, so I am always wearing workout gear. I LOVE fashion but never have the time to change… so you will see me getting coffee, shopping, at the park still in workout clothes from the morning. Thank Goodness for wicking material!
What is your secret fashion sin? I have expensive taste and a mom budget. So, if I’m not in workout gear, I’m decked out in a strange combo of Old Navy jeans and Stuart Weitzman shoes. I always wonder if I’m going to look up and see that I’m too old for the clothes I like (I secretly like to pick things up at Forever 21). Oh, and I like bejeweled things. I owned a Bedazzler back in the day.
What's your favorite current fashion bargain? Bluefly.com
What's your favorite fashion splurge? SHOES!! SHOES!! SHOES!! And Coach purses. Oh, and every season I buy a fun necklace and bracelet combo to jangle up the jeans and shirt staples.
What are your favorite stores? J Crew, High End Department Stores (Saks, Neimans), lucy (for workout gear) and (sadly) Target
What do you see as your biggest shopping challenge? Not going overboard because I know I generally wear workout clothes and don’t have that many nights out that require 3 inch heels or 3 pairs of boots.
What’s your beauty secret? Thinking I look hot even in workout clothes that I’ve been schlepping around in all day. It does wonders for the image I project. Seriously.
