I have a fetish for fabrics and textiles…I love them so much and seek out stores that feature unique offerings wherever I travel (particularly an amazing fabric store in downtown San Francisco). Because I prioritize how things feel on me (i.e., comfort), I tend to favor pieces that are soft and cuddly.
Maybe that’s because I’ve been around for a while and just know myself and what works and what doesn’t. I rarely think about what I’m going to wear, even for a big event, until I’m standing in my closet before I get into the shower. This might sound crazy, but I hardly look in the mirror before I head out the door. If I had to describe my look, I’d say it’s “understated, comfortable, classic.” For the most part, I care more about how I feel than how I look, but I aim to achieve a combination of pieces and a style that marries form and function. What do you consider to be your personal style? People often remark on my strong posture and presence, which I think stems from how committed I am to yoga and staying active. I credit the practice with feeling great and not getting shorter over time. Of all the activities that I do to stay in shape, yoga has been my favorite passion and pastime for decades. I’m definitely fit for my age and do all sorts of activities to stay in shape, all of which I love, from yoga to hiking to biking to walking to good old working out in the gym. My heritage is German/Welsh, so I have light skin, blue eyes, and brownish hair (before it turned like everyone’s does-these days, I’m a blonde).
I’d probably be described as medium height (I’m five foot four) and I’m about a size 6. Every day has been an opportunity to see and do something great, and I always anticipate what tomorrow might hold with enthusiasm and curiosity. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to engage with all sorts of extraordinary people, places, and things and enjoyed every last minute of it. I love a good adventure and have been able to see most of the world, including many major cities and a few out in the middle of nowhere spots like Kilimanjaro and Bhutan. I’ve written books, taught and advised thousands of children, and sat on the boards of Fortune 500 public companies as well as national and local non-profit organizations. Throughout my career in the public and private sectors, I’ve blazed a few trails as an advocate for children’s education and also as an animal rights activist. You might say that I’m an elder stateswoman at nearly 83.
