Great skirt. Is it leather? Yes. It’s from an outlet store, Doncaster Tanner, in Rutherfordton, North Carolina. It’s their overstock, what they haven’t sold from the season before. I just love their stuff. I’ve been shopping there since 1970.

Where do you look for style tips? I like to read Town & Country, Vanity Fair and InStyle. The malls a lot of times are trendy, and you see fashions for younger girls. I tend to stick to the classics.

Those glasses look vintage. They’re new, but Jackie O style. They do look like what I wore in the ‘70s.

Anything else you can’t live without? Anything black. If I travel, I can go for a while in a 22-inch suitcase and look good by changing shells or scarves. You can dress anything up or down with black. A good-fitting quality black piece to me is the smartest thing a woman can buy.
