How would you describe your style? Personal. Nature has been kind, and my frame allows me to wear things that might be considered extreme, but I tend toward the classic. What’s been your best bargain? My jewelry. I design it myself. What kind of jewelry do you design? High fashion, gold, diamonds, all precious and semiprecious stones. Favorite thing in your closet? Jeans, smock shirt, loafers. It’s what I wear around the house and when I paint or work on my jewelry designs. The best-dressed person in Washington? My husband. He has an exceptional sense of style—thanks to me. How many pairs of shoes do you own? You couldn’t be asking me for a number, could you? How about “many enough”?
