Ask Grandma Anything

Many visitors to the OGs' blog have remarked upon our grandmother's distinctive personal style. From the double-stacked eyeglasses on top of her head to carefully selected leopard-print accessories, Barbara always manages to bring a little dash of cool to the nonagenarian set. Of course there are times when she's a little too outrageous (like the time she was sent back to her apartment from the Hollenbeck Palms dining hall because her pants were too tight), but when you're a trendsetter, you can expect to be misunderstood. In this short interview recorded at Clifton's Cafeteria, Barbara shares her philosophy of personal style, recalls some favorite fashion hits and misses, and explains how you too can have a look that's as timeless and distinctive as hers is.
