Age: 55

Occupation: Case manager, Grady Memorial Hospital

What I'm wearing: "A black wool knit dress from New York Co., burgundy patent-leather Mary Jane pumps by Anne Klein, silver bracelets from T.J. Maxx, silver-tone earrings and a necklace with dark red-colored stones and brown wooden beads from the Grady Hallmark gift shop."

Signature style: "Generally, I like to wear dresses or skirts of varying lengths. In the fall and winter, I like pairing my outfits with colored and textured tights to compliment [them.]"

Best finds: "The necklaces worn in the photo shoot were purchased from the hospital gift shop [during a] $5 jewelry sale. I generally find great deals at Marshalls, T.J. Maxx, Ross and Burlington Coat Factory."

Fashion weakness: "I love shoes, especially distinct styles and colors."

Favorite stores: "Marshalls, T.J. Maxx, Ross, Burlington Coat Factory. Value City was also a favorite shopping site until it closed several years ago. I can usually find a unique top, skirt or dress and pair it with jewelry and shoes to create a distinctive look."

Fashion inspiration: "My friends compare my style to that of a home decorator. From their perspective, I equate myself to a bare room that needs to be furnished. I take different fabrics, colors, textures and blend them to reflect my personality."

Best fashion compliment: "I should either pursue fashion design or modeling. I enjoy creating different looks that reflect the many facets of my personality. Especially in the hospital setting, if my look can make someone smile, then for a moment we both share something creative, and that brightens my day."
