mother example chic
I had a great example with my mother, who was extremely chic.
long people style
You can't just say, "I'm gonna have style." You have to work at it. It's intuitive; some people have it, and some people can work on it all day long, and it will never happen.
choices accessories given
Given the choice, I would spend my money on accessories.
thinking numbers people
I don't think dressing has anything to do with numbers. I know people of 30 who act like they're 97, and I have a few old-bag friends who are very hip.
noise walks
I'm making a lot of noise as I walk.
thinking dressing-up looks
I think that if you have to work very hard at dressing up and it makes you nervous or uptight, then you won't look very well because you won't be comfortable. I think it's much better to be comfortable and happy than well dressed.
inspiration bugs steps
I don’t expect to find inspiration. It just sort of comes. Sometimes you step on a bug and you get inspired.
gay blessing people
I'm delighted that gay people want to get married and I say why not! It's nobody's business and I would happily give my blessing.
hair done get-away
If your hair is done properly you can get away with anything
connections looks use
I live in the 17th century. I don't have a computer. I don't look at the internet. I use a cellphone, and that's about my only connection to the modern world.
dream husband choices
Caviar used to be my drug of choice, but since my husband is on a no-salt diet, I've kind of given it up. I still have dreams of sitting down and gorging, though. I love it with a good vodka; I don't like it with champagne.
nice looks hot
I love a nice hot pink. I like thick lipstick, otherwise it doesn't look like you're wearing any.
years eyeglasses accessories
I used to collect frames. I've been collecting accessories since I was 11-years-old, creeping around flea markets and sales and everything. Whenever I saw unusual eyeglass frames, I bought them.
shoes important world
To me there are lots more important things in the world than just having the right shoes!
