Leonie Summerville is a fashion lover and deputy principal at Tauranga Girls' College.
Q: What's your favourite piece in your wardrobe and why?
A: My pink Jane Daniels coat, because lots of people tell me it looks great and I do feel good in it.
Q: How many pairs of shoes do you
have?
A: Four pairs of "easy walking" black boots which I wear for work in the winter. A pair of Kathryn Wilson black high heels for "dressing up". Three pairs of different-coloured wedge-heel sandals for summer, plus some short beige boots from Glassons (a bargain), two pairs of silver sandals and three pairs of snow boots - goodness knows why because I can only wear one pair at a time.
Q: What are your wardrobe basics?
A: Black in winter, white in summer.
Q: What do you wear to work?
A: Two black pinafores that I can wear different tops and colours with. They are what I call my "school uniform". They work for summer and winter.
Q: What's your weekend "uniform"?
A: After my "morning walk" clothing, I get into jeans and a T-shirt.
Q: What's your oldest piece of clothing?
A: A black "astrakhan-look" coat purchased at Wendys in the 1980s - still love it.
Q: What's the latest piece you've bought?
A: A pair of Italian knee-high summer boots in a soft beige colour.
Q: What accessories do you use?
A: Winter scarves, summer scarves, silk scarves, cotton scarves.
Q: Which piece of clothing could you not do without?
A: My pink ski jacket - I'm easy to find on the snow.
Q: What's the most you've spent on an item of clothing?
A: A shaved mink coat purchased in Park City, Utah, on sale.
