Pamela’s style projects an air of both comfort and authority. She is fun and ferocious—and this is evident in her clothing choices, as she pairs unexpected garments with closet staples. Pamela commands attention, and those around her are, unequivocally, glad to give it. She is magnetic… and her style is definitely part of the equation.
Describe your personal style.
Each morning I awaken grateful to be, with a sense of happiness that rises like the sun. Momentarily seized by a creative spirit fusing art, science and madness (not unlike Chef Alton Brown), I whip up my daily attire using the colors, textures and lines found in my closet. I am driven to express, not impress.
You mentioned you had jeans that were made…in a prison?
For nearly a decade I have owned several pair of Prison Blues, PRN BLU USA work jeans. They are made on the inside to be worn on the outside, in Eastern Oregon near Pendleton, by inmates serving time. I selected the classic denim with utility pockets and large brass rivets intended to support suspenders. Coupled with a crisp white blouse and stilettos or a sleek black camisole with flip flops, I happily escape the limits of physical confinement through clothing selection. It is almost criminal.
Co-workers have remarked that you get really into wearing a certain item of clothing, it becomes something you wear consecutively for long periods of time. What falls under this category?
Occasionally I “theme” dress just for fun. The challenge is to wear a different version of the same item until a co-worker notices. I have donned endless denim jackets, cowboy boots or multiple scarves. Currently, I am approaching the fourth week of a little black dress-a-thon.
What do you love most about expressing who you are through what you're wearing?
Often I am asked about, or complimented on, something I am wearing. It takes me by surprise. I draw a complete blank. The seamless fitting between who I am and what I wear is suddenly apparent. Once the origin of the piece is established or thank you delivered, that's all there is.
