I once dressed up as my grandmother to surprise my dad — I was maybe four years old. Clothes — beautiful, well-designed, comfortable dreamy dresses and coats and skirts make me feel smarter, more competent — and at the same time I like to be just a bit funny because after all, life as its surprises. Lately, I am obsessed — after years of bare legs or boots — with the playful designs of Wolford tights. I start with some glamorous Chanel makeup, fabulous scented body lotion (my current obsession is anything by Hermès) and then the Wolford tights with flats, stillettos or short boots and a simple outfit. I am more productive dressed up than lounging around in my leggings.
