In high school, I had a singing group, and I designed the outfits and made my friends' prom dresses.
I loved Diahann Caroll growing up. I love a sophisticated, classy woman.
My mother was a very amazing woman. She was a very strong, remarkable woman.
I am very fortunate that I have such close relationships with both of my daughters.
I not only enjoy a really great friendship with both my girls but also a close mother-daughter bond as well.
I enjoyed a close relationship with my mother, who set a wonderful example. As such, I have always tried to be as open and honest as possible with the girls growing up. I let them know they could always come to me with anything - and I would be there to support them.
Red is my signature color.
I've heard complaints from women all over the country that plus-size clothes aren't sexy enough. You know, I'm a grandma, but I don't want to look like a grandma! I want to feel confident and sexy in the clothes. I like my stuff tapered and well-fitted, not all boxy.
Every woman deserves to look fashionable, whether a size 2 or 22.
I'm a grandmother, but I don't want to look like a grandmother. I still want to look sexy and sophisticated.
If you want to go high-end, that's great, but my dream has always been to make fashion affordable enough so you're not limited by your budget.
When I talk to people, I always try to figure out what their talents are, what is wonderful about the person. You do the same with kids.
I never asked my children to do something I didn't show them that I could also do.
Shoes can change an outfit.
There's a misconception that you have to match your shoes and your bag. It can be so cool to add a patterned or off-color heel.
If you're easily overwhelmed when you shop, remember that store employees know what's in stock, and they love to give fashion advice. Working with one is like having your own stylist.
I decided I would never let anyone decide who I was.
At 58, I knew I had to get a divorce. At that age, it's an almost impossible thing to go through. I had been married 33 years. I had been married for 33 years. I didn't know anything else.
My ex-husband is my family.
