My Style: Marie Wilson

Style photos of Marie Wilson, a retired school counselor living in Cascade, Atlanta.

Marie Baker Wilson, 70, is a retired high school counselor living in Cascade, Atlanta. Her signature style is St. John sport and couture.

WHAT SHE'S WEARING: St. John black jacket with fur collar and cuffs; long black St. John skirt from Neiman Marcus; a black mink hat from Neiman Marcus.

ATLANTA STYLE IS... : "Very chic and very stylish in all of the latest fashion."

STAND-OUT FASHION MOMENT: "I was the general chairperson for five years for the Ebony Fashion Fair and each year I would start looking for my outfit for the next year's show. Last year, I wore a bright white St. John pantsuit trimmed with black chiffon ruffles down the front and on the sleeves. I must say it was a knockout."

BEST FIND: "My St. John black jacket. It was such a good find because I had never seen anything like it before even though it was quite expensive. But because it was so different, I knew I would have something entirely out of this world."

BIGGEST SPLURGE: "My St. John charm bracelet. I bought it in Las Vegas several years ago and it was very, very expensive. I will probably will it to my granddaughter."

A FASHION PET PEEVE: "Someone wearing a fake St. John."

A WEAKNESS: "Hats. They really make your outfit. My mother never went to church without her hat on, so I guess I got it from her. The wider the brim, the better."

Wilson got this hat from Nordstrom.

FAVORITE STORES: Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue and Nordstrom

FAVORITE LABEL: St. John, of course. Here, Wilson sports a St. John Jacket and pearl necklace by Swarovski.
