SANDRA RESHEF
54, legal assistant, Loeb & Loeb, New York
What do you do? I work for two partners and two associates. One partner is in trusts and estates, and the other’s in nonprofits.
What’s your look? Classic. People tell me that I’m always “put together” and “elegant.”
Are you a shopper? My size hasn’t changed in 25 years, so I tend to not get rid of a lot. I’ve always lived on a budget. My friends call me the Queen
of Clearance.
Was this dress a bargain find?
I bought it while shopping with my daughter years ago. I may have paid $15.
How do you find deals?
I have a good eye, and I’ve never been hung up on labels. If I see an item that looks good on me, I’ll pick it up.
Where did you get your style sense?
My dad was an illustrator, and I grew up in a house filled with art and color. I think it helped me see what works well together. What cuts do you prefer? I have to be wary that I’m not dressing too young. I can still get away with wearing something bodyhugging or a skirt above the knee—things that are sometimes put away for a woman in her 50s.
How many pairs of shoes do you own?
I used to have 200, but now I’m down to 125. I moved to a twobedroom apartment, so I have to be creative with storage. My closet is fully color-coordinated, so I can find things.
