Amy’s a Kentucky transplant to Toledo who works in education by day. She can also be seen as a member of the Toledo Opera’s chorus, and recently starred in Tosca at the Valentine Theatre. She prefers to let bold colors make the statements when it comes to her style choices. She’s pictured here during “Snowmageddon 2015,” modeling a vintage-inspired blizzard look that is totally smoldering.
Describe your look today.
Hmm…freezing urbanite from the late 70s or early 80s.
Cold weather often means covering up cool clothes with coats that are more practical than fashionable. How do you maintain a sense of style in the dead of winter?
For me, it’s always difficult to determine how to dress stylishly in extreme conditions, cold or hot. I feel like spring and fall are my most fashionable seasons. But, I think there are little ways to make even the most practical and comfortable attire feel special. I like to use colorful hats, stylish scarves and cute handbags to complement my winter coats.
What’s your most favorite recently purchased item of clothing or accessory? Where’d you get it?
The coat you see in the picture is my favorite recent purchase. I found it at Savers, like many of my other favorite items.
What’s the best compliment you’ve ever received on an outfit?
I can’t remember any specific compliments, but it seems I receive the most positive reactions when I make bolder fashion choices, such as mixing patterns or pairing colors that most people tend to think of as being unfashionable together. I really think that the best way to develop your personal sense of style is to just try it on and play with different combinations, to get away from the idea of “matching.” People will typically recognize and respond to your style instincts in a positive way.
