Did your style change at all when you turned 40?
“The biggest shift for me was adding more kids to my family. One kid didn’t really change my life, but number two and three changed it in terms of shopping, finding time to shop, and prioritizing shopping. There is not a lot of time to hit the stores anymore. Now, I know what I’m looking for and when I see it; it’s done.”

How has your style evolved over the years?
“When I was young, all I bought was colorful, fun dresses, but that is just not my life anymore. I don’t go out as much. I’m working all the time. It is more about repurposing great staples, but also going out and buying the cute slit skirt from Band of Outsiders.”

How do you look grown-up without looking too granny?
“I still wear miniskirts all the time. I wear leather shorts. I go with more sophisticated, tailored, and modern, rather than girly and flippy. I will also add in a tough shoe or boot, something strappy or buckled or studded.”
