How would you describe your style? Classic with funky details.

Where do you like to shop? I get basics at the big stores, Nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s, Zara, occasionally Banana Republic. I love to get cool stuff at Urban Chic, also a store on U Street called Wild Women Wear Red. Sometimes I can find details at H&M. I travel a lot to New York; Century 21 is one of my favorite stores.
