Margaret Lajara on Fashion

What has been your biggest fashion faux-pas?

Due to my height jeans are usually very long on me. When I buy something I want to wear it right away. I used to take scissors and cut jeans myself. This sometimes resulted in jeans that were too short.It was horrible. Thank God I don't do that any longer.

If you could only shop at one store, which would it be?

Barneys New York

If you could change one thing about your closet, what would it be?

I would turn it into a walk-in closet.

Survival of the fittest: What is one item in your closet that you will never get rid of?

My green bolero jacket. I love it!

If you were given the opportunity to have a famous designer revamp your entire wardrobe, who would you choose?

Narciso Rodriguez

Name an actor/singer/celebrity whose wardrobe you admire the most.

Sarah Jessica Parker

What are your best and worst fashion purchases?

Best: A pair of leggings from American Apparel. They are so comfortable and they look great with everything. Worst: A pair of green pants two sizes too small that I bought because I loved the color

Who makes your favorite pair of jeans? Shoes? Dress or Suit?

My favorite jeans are from Old Navy. Perfect length and fit.

If you had to describe your personal style in one word, what would it be?

I may have to use more than one...Bold, trendy with a classic undertone. I add my own style with my accessories but love my heels and fitted clothing.

If you could bring back any fashion trend, what would it be?

The combat boots of the 90's.
