Mother Knows Best

“Nobody ever crossed the road to meet a personality”: these are the wise words this woman learned from her style-conscious mother. And she also learned from her mother that it is important to dress to express who you are as an individual, which this woman so clearly does. In an age of little black dresses she says that her closet is full of ivories and pastels. Doesn’t she look fabulous? This woman works in the fashion industry. I have seen many images of Iris Apfel of New York lately, and this woman, while much younger, brings to mind the same individual flair for expression.

The Original “Hot Chick”?

She bought the cape coat in New York and it looked so good that her sister, understandably, asked to borrow it for her small role as “Hot Chick #1” in an independent film. Doesn’t this woman wear it to perfection? In fact, her moves were so smooth I had to ask if she was a model. She’s not; she works in banking. Her whole look is so together, calm and sophisticated, but her animated personality made it come alive. I’m loving the wet-look gloves, the hat, and nude shoe. Beautiful. Did you notice how the H&M sign in the background seems to mirror her outfit?
