as turning 40 scary, thrilling, both, and why?
"When I was 29, I went to an incredible dinner party filled with interesting, open, stylish, creative people all of whom were in their mid to late 30s. I wanted to be them so badly. And I remember them all telling me that my life was only just about to get good. And they were right. So, I figured my 40s had to be even better. So far they have."
What's the one amazing thing you've learned about yourself through fashion and style at your age?"I think I’ve learned to stop fighting that part of me that is the crazy lady who wears lots of different striped things at the same time. Or combines odd colors and breaks lots of rules. I’m happier if there is a little something left-of-center about what I’m wearing, even if I’m the only one who notices it."
