NAME: Ashley J. Webb
AGE: 34
NEIGHBORHOOD/TOWN: Midtown
OCCUPATION: Realtor
SIGNATURE STYLE: “Timeless elegance”
WHAT I’M WEARING: Chevron dress is from Ann Taylor. “I love Ann Taylor because I feel like I can’t go wrong there! They make it so easy, and their petites fit me perfectly.” Moda Spain shoes. Bracelets, earrings and ring from Tiffany. Pearls from Ross-Simons. The charm bracelets are borrowed from her mother. Chopard watch. “The particular model is called ‘The Happy Sport,’ which is how I like to think of myself, happy!”
ATLANTA STYLE IS… “complicated. You never know what you’re going to see and who you’re going to see wear it.”
A WEAKNESS: “Right now I’m obsessed with the fashions on an AMC show called ‘Mad Men.’ I want to wear everything that January Jones’ character Betty Draper wears. Sometimes I wish I could just throw out everything I own and go 100 percent vintage!”
A FASHION PET PEEVE: “People who complain they can’t look good on a budget. There’s too many discount stores right now with so many great designs that there’s absolutely no excuse.”
STAND-OUT FASHION MOMENT: “I once tried working for my father. He’s a contractor. It was in the middle of winter, on a construction site, and I was wearing all blah utilitarian clothes —- work boots, long johns, basic Levi’s, and a toboggan. Right then, I knew I had to go on to do something that involved better clothes! Not long after this, I became a Realtor.”
FAVORITE STORES: Ann Taylor, Stefan’s Vintage Clothing, Target, Sage Clothing, the Lucky Exchange
FAVORITE LABELS: “I’m not at all label conscious, but I do love to look at Chanel ads for their grandeur.”
BIGGEST SPLURGE: “After I negotiated and sold an art gallery in town, I bought a ruby ring from an estate jeweler at Scott’s Antiques to commemorate the deal. It not only makes a fashion statement, but it gives me a great sense of accomplishment every time I wear it.”
BEST FIND: “A beautiful black vintage dress for only $18 at Stefan’s Vintage Clothing store in Little Five Points.
“I loved it when I tried it on, but I didn’t know if I’d ever find a place to wear it … I was about to put it back when the friend I was with made me buy it. God bless her! Besides, it was only $18! What was I thinking? I feel like I’m Audrey Hepburn every time I wear it.”
