Having children really changes your priorities.

I'm all-American. Sexy but not intimidating. Not the kind of woman who's going to steal someone's husband.

Having children really changes your priorities.

I've tried and failed a lot. But I've also tried to be really clear about my brand. It is who I am. I'm a mum, I'm a wife, I'm 44 and from the Midwest.

I just find that each year I try something new. You can't fight the march of time. To balance that out, each year you should develop one more good habit. It levels the playing field.

I hated turning 40; the whole idea of it stank. But once I got through it, I was fine.

Fashion is social commentary, but to me, it's the whimsy of it and how women and men use clothes to express themselves. It should be fun and when it stops being fun, that's when I put my jeans and my T-shirt on and then that's your uniform.
